I'm sure I'm not the only one who's noticed that, for whatever reason, DC has been giving a lot of its new ongoing monthly comics either really long titles, or slapped sub-titles on both rebooted and continuing titles.
Flash becomes Flash: The Fastest Man Alive
Aquaman becomes Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis
Firestorm becomes Firestorm: The Nuclear Man
JLA becomes Justice League of America
then there's
All-New Atom
Supergirl and the Legion of Super-Heroes
Uncle Sam and the Freedom Fighters
And, what's gotta be the longest title for an ongoing monthly comic from a major publisher that I can remember:
All Star Batman and Robin, the Boy Wonder
I know Marvel has slapped on subtitles and longer names with mini-series, but I haven't seen much of it with their ongoing monthlies. Except, of course, when they come up with new series for a particular franchise (e.g., Spider-Man's various peripheral titles like Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man and Spider-Man's Tangled Web).
I'm curious if A) Marvel fans would want to see this with their favorite ongoing monthlies and B) If so, what would you choose for the names?
