Comics I Should Write

Sometimes I just really need to get hired.

These are those times.

List items

  • Put me on a Harley Quinn title, DC. Make it happen.

  • Man, I'd whip this book into shape so hard if I was put behind the wheel. Guy would be out, Rankorr would die, I'd introduce some cool new Reds, give some development to the lesser-known ones, and boost the real stars (Atrocitus, Bleez, Dex-Starr) back to their former glory.

  • Whatever, wherever, however. But I'd prefer a solo "Detective Nigma" or "Riddle Me This" title to work with.

  • I'd whip up an awesome new team, one that wouldn't just center on Kyle but actually be an ensemble cast like it should be. Thoughts for a team: Bleez for Red, Miri Riam for Purple, Arkillo for Yellow, Iroque for Indigo, Saint Walker for Blue, Glomulus for Orange (hee!), then either Kyle, Baz, Arisia, or Soranik for a Green.

  • She needs a bitchin' solo where she is a private detective/investigator. Have her using her computer skills and centuries of experience, language skills, durability, and martial skill. All the while keep it a fun and flavorful character book filled with binge-drinking and one-night stands.

  • I'd do the past issues justice and keep it a strong title. I can feel it.

  • Specifically, Power Girl and Atlee. Fighting criiiiime.

  • This also works if I can't do a Harley solo.

Drat. With your imagination, I thought you'd be a shoe-in! Hmm.. I wonder if Barnes and Noble has '"Technobabble for Dummies"...

That could make the job a little easier, eh..?

@heraldofganthet: I am pretty underqualified for a Steel solo since I barely know the character. I'm also not that good at technobabble so I think I'd suck on a Steel title.

@roninreviews: Hawkman is so awesome and no one gives a fuck about him.

Agreed. He needs not only an animated series, but it needs to be the version shown on "Young Justice" (or at least the same animators), and it needs to be on a very accessible network. Perhaps the Vortex on the CW Network because it's free of charge to those who don't have cable. Make Geoff Johns the executive producer and wait for the fireworks.

But you might wanna watch the language though....;)

@joygirl: I could see you doing an awesome job on these books. Especially the books surrounding all things "Lantern". You'd blow their minds (and ours by default upon reading your work;). I wonder though, would you/how would you approach a Steel solo book? He is a dynamic character that is woefully underutilized in the DCU. IMO.

I'd love to write Swamp Thing or Hawkman. Hawkman is so awesome and no one gives a fuck about him.

You totally should write some Harley comics! That would be amazing! However don't read Green Lantern books so I don't how much in need of a writer they would be. Also a Detective Riddler book would be a blast to read!

@risingbean: Meh. I could do X-Force maybe but X-Force is doing fine on its own. Doesn't need me.

@granitesoldier: Have you read Palmiotti/Gray's 12-issue run on her? It's possibly my favorite comic run of all time.

I have not. Honestly her mistreatment is why I've always preferred Supergirl to her. But if you say it is worth checking out, I am going to trust your judgment. If you're wrong, well, don't be wrong....

It'd be nice to see Power Girl as more than just Ms. Boobs. I feel like that's all she ever really amounted to, that no writer ever gave her much depth. Haven't kept up with her, so that may have changed, but that's how she always felt to me.

@dngn4774: Vandal is a villain though, harder to hold a title.

That's a possibility but eh. I don't feel like f***ing with the continuity any more than I have to. And never cared for Supergirl anyway.

Yush.

I liked the Sirens. :( But they aren't my top pick to write anyway, prob'ly last actually. I'd rather just have a Harley title with her own supporting cast.

Nah, never read Movement so I dunno what I'd do with it/if I'd be good for it.

@joygirl

Vandal needs a title more than Scandal does IMHO.

If I had to write Powergirl I would merge her with Supergirl into one major Kryptonian badass (She starts with Supergirl's origin but becomes PG to break away from her cousin's shadow).

Riddler deserves his own title

Sirens are outdated and overrated. I appreciate the classic pairings but it doesn't really have to be done anymore. You could always add a guest character in the Harley book too.

Have you've considered taking over Gail Simone's Movement and put Misfit in charge of it?

I agree with 3. Someone needs to get that series back on its awesome track when it was first started.
