pretty much every story whether in movies, video games, books, comics, or tv is really dark right now (excluding comedys)
 
not to mention Dark Reign
 
i would rename the "modern age" of the 80s and 90s the Iron Age

first, and most importantly, anyone who dies STAYS DEAD, no one gets resurrected, especially not jean grey and steve rodgers 
 
second KILL OFF THE SENTRY, i HATE that guy, he is totally annoying and he needs to die 
 
next, expand the ultimate universe, but never more that lets say, five ongoing  and two limited series at a time, i like the ultimate u small, but bigger than it is right now (two ongoing and one limited) 
 
no more oneshots as prolouges and epiloges to events, like Utopia, i shouldn't have had to buy two oneshots in addition to the ongoings 
 
i'd do everything possible to reduce prices, comics are really expensive 
 
paperbacks and hardcovers would come out sooner 
 
no more events for a while after DR ends 
 
REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF WOLVERINE, i love that guy, i really do, but my god he is in at least a third of marvels series right now, its starting to get annoying

wouldn't it be hilarious if Wade met Hades
 
either that or marvel ares meets (and fights, or more likely beats the **** out) of hercules 
 
OR
 
marvel characters get into a kingdom hearts games, and they ignore the disney characters and go to war with the final fantasy characters

in order to be a black lantern you have to be dead, so when the good guys destroy the black lantern central power battery all of the black lanterns will go back to being corpses, and NO ONE stays dead in comics except for Uncle Ben, so a bunch of them will eventually be resurrected

sure, i want to say green, but if i had the orange ring, i'd be unstoppable
 
my second choice would be an indigo tribe staff
