Comics Question

[snurri]

Lately I've been thinking about comics. I've always wanted to write a superhero comic, and I hope that someday it will happen. Maybe something with Green Arrow, maybe something team-related. Marvel or DC, it doesn't matter. And I'm curious; how many of you think about the same thing? If you're a writer--assuming you're a comics fan--what characters would you like to play with? Alternatively, if you're not a writer, what writer(s) would you like to see take a crack at which character(s)?

I wrote a comic book with my friends in high school. It's one of those huuuge groups with like 18 members or something. I still think about the characters I created. In fact, I still have the pencilled, partially inked and lettered pages!

I guess I really only want to write my own characters. Writing for someone else's characters has always paralyzed me -- I've never been able to write fanfiction for the same reason. I really admire people who can do it, like my friend Shelley who writes tv shows (on spec).

If I had to pick, though, I'd say Nightcrawler. A nice, swashbuckling romance with Nightcrawler and either Amanda or... Mary Sue. ;)

Mary Sue sure does a lot of crossovers nowadays :-)

You have no idea how many notebooks I have filled with drawings of Nightcrawler. And there's a whole section of pictures where he's kissing Amanda, but you can see her face, so she really could be just about anyone...

Big Nightcrawler fan here, too, Jenn. By far my favorite X-Man. I remember MANY years ago he had his own series where he was buckling swashes in an alternate/fantasy universe, but it was hard to find where I lived so I didn't get to follow it.
