Hey, Now Cronin Can Put Songbird In The Avengers!
- by Brad Curran
- Wednesday, March 18th, 2009 at 2:55 PM EST
By buying a copy of Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2, which she will be appearing in. Gaming blog Kotaku points out this point from the game's blog, where the developers talk about translating her from the page to the game.
They talk about how they used Marko Djurdjevic’s Thunderbolts covers as inspiration for her look [...]
Joe'd...
- by Joe Rice
- Monday, March 16th, 2009 at 12:21 PM EST
I'd not date other comic fans.
Do we really need an extra thousand things to argue about? I'll stick with where to eat and whose parents are crazier. I don't need to yell about the relative merits of Joe Matt vs. Johnny Ryan.
I'd have saved my anti-Crisis-on-Infinite-Earths Piece
Seriously, I can't find that anywhere. [...]
I'd Have a Seven Soldier Join the Justice League
- by Brian Cronin
- Sunday, March 15th, 2009 at 11:57 PM EST
On top of Zatanna, I'd like to add one more of the Seven Soldiers join the Justice League. Probably Shining Knight or Shiloh Norman, but Frankenstein might be interesting, too.
Let's not let these good characters go to waste!
So I'd add a Seven Soldier to the Justice League.
I'd Bring Alex Wilder Back
- by Brian Cronin
- Sunday, March 15th, 2009 at 11:40 PM EST
I think the guy is just too fascinating of a character to have him permanently be stuck in that white void dimension he currently is in.
Either as a redeemed villain or as a super-villain in training, he's such a great character that I'd bring him back.
I'd Find Some Regular Role for Amanda Waller
- by Brian Cronin
- Sunday, March 15th, 2009 at 11:26 PM EST
Is there seriously not a single book where Amanda Waller couldn't pop up in on a regular basis?
Justice League liaison?
I dunno, there just has to be some role out there for one of the best new characters of the 1980s.
I'd find some regular role in the DC Universe for Amanda Waller.
I'd Bring the Original Human Torch Back
- by Brian Cronin
- Sunday, March 15th, 2009 at 11:06 PM EST
Isn't it weird that he's not around? I'm figuring Brubaker actually will eventually get around to bringing him back (I hope), but really, the guy's an android! If there ever was a guy who shouldn't be able to just die, this would be the guy!
Just have someone find the remnants of his body after he [...]
I'd Have Apollo an Official Analogue of Superman
- by Brian Cronin
- Sunday, March 15th, 2009 at 10:44 PM EST
Remember when they had that Countdown: Arena mini-series where different variations of each character from different Earths of the Multiverse fought each other? In that series, Apollo (of the Authority) was a variation of...the Ray??!?!?
I'd make Apollo what he should be - an official analogue of Superman.
I'd Have Rogue Re-Join the X-Men
- by Brian Cronin
- Sunday, March 15th, 2009 at 10:16 PM EST
It's so odd to me that Rogue is not on the X-Men. She's one of the most famous members of the team, the team does not exactly have a ton of famous female members left (basically Storm and Emma Frost), so why keep off Rogue, who is a good character, to boot!
So I'd put Rogue [...]
I'd Have Let Hawkman and Hawkgirl Die
- by Brian Cronin
- Sunday, March 15th, 2009 at 5:46 PM EST
The whole point of Grant Morrison having the Hawks die in Final Crisis #7 was that they would resurrect, and then the next writers to use the characters could have them in whatever incarnation of the Hawks that they'd like to use (a blank slate, if you would).
So I'd have gone along with that idea.
I'd Make Phyla-Vell Captain Marvel
- by Brian Cronin
- Sunday, March 15th, 2009 at 3:59 PM EST
Wendell is back, so he should get the name Quasar back, so it would be nice to see her graduate then to the name Csptain Marvel!
I'd Give Nancy Woods a Unique Personality
- by Brian Cronin
- Sunday, March 15th, 2009 at 2:27 PM EST
Nancy Woods is the girlfriend of Chuck in the Archie Comics. Chuck is an interesting character, but Nancy is as bland as bland can be. Not only is she bland, but every time a writer tries to give her some sort of unique personality, the next writer forgets about it.
So I'd give Nancy a unique [...]
I'd Have the Milestone Heroes on Their Own Earth
- by Brian Cronin
- Sunday, March 15th, 2009 at 1:26 PM EST
This one I think is so obvious I really can't comprehend why this is NOT what the current state of affairs is.
You have a Multiverse.
You just had this big crossover all about the joys of the Multiverse.
You have this group of heroes who exist in their own universe, whose existence almost definitely presupposes that there [...]
I'd Have Punisher MAX Rotate Writers
- by Brian Cronin
- Sunday, March 15th, 2009 at 12:32 PM EST
I don't know if that is or is not what Marvel is going to turn out to do, but boy, so far, both Gregg Hurwitz and Duane Swierczynski have done such a good job that I'd hate to see to pick JUST one writer on the series, and this is all without Victor Gischler even [...]
I'd Have Had Salvation Run Tie Into Final Crisis
- by Brian Cronin
- Sunday, March 15th, 2009 at 11:27 AM EST
Or at least some other storyline.
Because otherwise, what an odd little story in the middle of nowhere ("The villains all go on to a prison planet for....some reason. Then we never speak of it again!").
Matt Sturges and Bill Willingham, respectively, did what they could with it, but boy, it was a bit like being cast [...]
I'd Make Songbird an Avenger
- by Brian Cronin
- Sunday, March 15th, 2009 at 10:33 AM EST
She's on the run from Norman Obsorn, the Avengers are on the run from Norman Osborn, she's a cool character who has a lot of inside info on Osborn, she has cool powers and the current New Avengers are a bit shy, power-wise (with the current exception of Ms. Marvel).
It totally works!!
And I won't even [...]
