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)?

Perhaps I shouldn't admit this publicly, but -- sometimes, in the cockshut hours -- I wish that destiny would swoop in and let me bring back Ilyana Rasputin (Magik aka Darkchilde.)

I was so utterly obsessed as a kid. When she died, I didn't read a comic for almost three years. (Yes, I was one of those children who cared about comics and D&D characters more than "reality." And, no, I didn't hurt anyone but myself.)

And I'm aware that the Marvels that Be have dabbled with the idea, but I mean back; returning alive and monthly. I guess my perfect little dream would be to do a tie-in novel, but I'd be willing to give up a lot to play with in the sandboxes of those storylines.

(No one other than Magik is as important to me. Someday I might even get a tattoo.)

Oh yeah. Magik rocks. See my answer above; much New Mutants love here.

I had posters on my wall and wrote poems about her. A lovely friend painted a T-shirt of her for me that I still have. She was my delightful teenage obsession.

I love Magik, too! I have much New Mutants love, and she was my favorite. God, I re-read her miniseries more than almost anything.
