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)?

Well, I think that Swamp Thing was the right character for Moore, you know? He was able to take a sort of chemical horror character and move it in a totally different, earth-elemental sort of direction. It fit with his sensibilities. In the same way that I could see you playing with, say, the Metal Men, or Iron Fist, or something.

I take your point, though I think Alan Moore is sufficiently brilliant that he could have done interesting things with pretty much any character he was handed.

Metal Men. Yeah, they would sure be a lot of fun!
