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 did read at least some of his New Mutants, but I don't remember his take on those two. Actually, what got me thinking about them was their appearance in the Runaways graphic novel you loaned me. Which is a really fun book, and I thought they were used well in it, though it drove home for me how much I, as an adult who loves comic books, have somewhat different tastes than I did as a teen.

I haven't been keeping track of Birds of Prey, though I like the idea. This is the sort of thing where I hope some friend will do the collecting and then lend them to me...

(I finally read the Whedon run on X-Men, by the way, and if you haven't read it, I'll lend it to you!)

Next time I'm home I'll dig them out and send them to you. His entire run on NM is amazing.

I haven't been collecting BoP, aside from a couple of issues here and there; but it's a scans_daily mainstay so I'm fairly up on it. Some of it must be out in trade by now, I would think . . .

I have the first two trades of the Whedon X-Men; through issue 12, I think. If you've got anything beyond that, though, I'd love to read it!
