Since DC's relaunch has been going so well with sales and reviews, many comic book related websites here have been commenting about should Marvel reboot there comics and start fresh. While I preferred Marvel over DC, I'm very interested in picking up many of the titles (Such as Justice League, Justice League Dark, Batman, Birds of Prey, Red Hood and the Outlaws).
But beyond the point, while I like Marvel, I think they'll be at the point where they will lose readers over the over used Events. Seriously! There's like 4 Marvel events each month!
I've constructed what I would do with Marvel if I were to reboot the series.
First off:
FIRE JOE QUESADA!
I feel were at the point where Joe should be fired from Marvel. I mean it feels a little bit ridiculous when the current Editor In Chief feels in less control of Marvel as he is!
Second:
Remove Bendis from Avengers and New Avengers
I neither hate or like Bendis's writing. I enjoyed what I've read from Ultimate Spider-Man. When I picked up the trade from Dark Avengers, I felt his dialog felt a little bit awkward.
I must say, I love the Idea of a Dark Avengers team. Bendis's writing REALLY seems wordy, and almost 75% of his dialog seems awkward. So, I would take him off from Avengers and New Avengers. I feel when he goes on a title, he never leaves the title, with a few exceptions.
Third:
Limit the Events:
I mean Jesus! How many events come out from this company!? It seems there's not 1 month without an event coming out! I mean we have Fear Itself, Spider-Island, Schism, Children's Crusade, (Well technically its not really a "big event".) And then there's gonna be more! MY GOD!
Forth:
How to Start the New Reboot:
I would "not surprisingly" use a event involving the Scarlet Witch, and many powerful Marvel Characters. I would have the Avengers, X-Men, Fantastic Four, New Avengers, and yada yada yada. I don't know what the actual story would be, but I do know the end. I would have the Scarlet Witch grant everyone one wish by everyone. Everyone gives out there wish, and then Scarlet Witch gives out her wish, Kind of like how House of M and Flashpoint are. She would restart most of the Marvel universe when they were back in the old days of Jack Kirby, Stan Lee, and Steve Ditko. I would modernize there stories, rather than get rid of them.
Five:
The Titles:
The titles would be:
Avengers: Written by Me
The Amazing Spider-Man: Also Written by Me
Fantastic 4
X-Men
X-Force
Captain America
The Invincible Iron-Man
Strange Tails
The Incredible Hulk
The Mighty Thor
Heroes for Hire
Wolverine
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Spider-Woman
Moon Knight
Punisher
the list goes on and on.
For the Avengers: I would have them be independent, with the start of the lineup be Iron-Man, Thor, Hulk, Wasp, Ant-Man/Giant-Man, and Nick Fury. Other members that would join would be Captain America, Hawkeye, Mockingbird, Black Panther, Black Widow, Spider-Woman, Ms. Marvel, and Tigra. I would start with HYDRA as the villains.
For Spider-Man: I would release a "Amazing Fantasy's" issue, where Spider-Man was originally first appeared. Spider-Man would go back to High School, then go to College, while fighting modern versions of villains.
For Fantastic Four: I would make them more crazy looking and more crazy with the powers. One difference would be the thing. He's not really a thing, he's more of a Rock-Man really. So with the thing, I would make him super strong, but now his body is now covered in huge scarce all over his body.
For X-Men: I would start up with the original line-up from there first appearances, with there costumes in a modern design like in First Class. I would also in like issue 50 where the X-Men has slightly grown, I would have an X-Men/Avengers cross over.
I'm only going to talk about 1 more.
For Heroes For Hire: I would have the team consist of Luke Cage as there leader, with Jessica Jones, who is a senior in Midtown, Black Cat, Firestar, Iron Fist.
This was long...
What should I discuss on my next talk?
