So, say a very talented group of individuals decided to create their own brand new comic universe of superheroes. What do you believe would be the best medium to put this forth?
Of course, for the sake of argument, let us suppose that budget and publishing platform/infrastructure isn't an issue. Would you prefer it to start out on the printed page as an actual comic? This way, it would stand to reason, you could have a handful of separate, distinct series so you could probably flesh it out and give it more depth than you could in other mediums.
Or would you rather see a fully-supported one-hour series on HBO give rise to a new universe of superheroes?
What about as a film? Or even a video game?
As for me, even though I am a hopeless movie buff, I am mostly intrigued by the possibilities of a well-done, high-budget HBO series. Just got to thinking about a new comic universe that wasn't tethered and restrained by the old traditions and histories of the ones we're all too familiar with. (Though, granted, these same familiarities provide tremendous immediate backstory and richness that do not need to be told through exposition or precious screen time.)
Also, what kind of new universe would you like to see?
