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 always wanted to do something with Doug Ramsey. I know they did that Douglock thing, but I was thinking about the original Doug. The X-Men had that two-part annual with the New Mutants where both teams ended up in Asgard, and Doug was a scullery lad, being non-combatty and all. I always thought that Doug should've ended up there for his afterlife, but worked up something about his mutant power of being able to read any language allows him to read the runes that gave Odin his magic, according to the sagas, and he becomes a sorceror of note. Liked the idea of doing it as a four-ish miniseries, with him getting a regular title of his own if it sold sufficiently.

Not that I've been thinking about this or anything.

Oh wow. I would love to read that. I have the full run of New Mutants, and the Asgard storyline was one of my faves. (Art Adams' art didn't hurt.)

I hope you get to write that!

Yeah, I want to read this, too, Jon! I loved Adams's art in the Asgard storyline. And boy, the Douglock thing freaked me out. I was so happy with their choice to include a noncombat character in New Mutants; I think they should have stuck it out and figured out how to make it work. (And I hate that he sacrificed himself of Rain, when the bullet wouldn't have even killed her. BOOO!)

Write it for us!!!
