Which Single Comics Project Would You Most Like To See...

[Gail Simone]

...me write?

Any project or book that I am not currently working on.

And who would you most like to see draw it?

Gail

[TCJohnson]

A Blue Beelte/Ted Kord series.

With...What the hell, Paco Medina has a fun style.

[matterconsumer]

Wonder Woman w/Perez.

Mary Marvel w/Perez

[Flamebird]

That's easy!

You and Nicola on Wonder Woman.


On a completely different note, I'd LOVE to see you do a Ragman book.

Not sure why, I just think that you would do it justice. NOt sure on an artist though. It would NEED to be someone that could do moody and expressions well.

[Tim OSullivan]

Iron Man comes to mind, as far as an existing book. I feel like the Extremis changes need to be addressed and defined.

A light-hearted team book, ala early Champions

Natasha Romanoff, the Black Widow- she's been around a while, but she's got a great backstory, being the "consort" to many male heroes.

[JeffreyWKramer]

WONDER WOMAN with Adam Hughes.

I dunno... are you into BUFFY, Gail? If so, I expect you'd probably write a good BUFFY... though with Whedon, Vaughan and others, that one sounds to probably be in good hands.

MARVEL FAMILY. I'd rather have Jeff Smith on the Marvels in perpetuity, but I'm guessing that won't happen. I'm thinking you'd do pretty well by Cap and the rest.

[TCJohnson]

On a completely different note, I'd LOVE to see you do a Ragman book.


Interesting choice. I love the Ragman character...but for some reason I can't picture what Gail's version would be like.

[spo]

hmm...prolly Wonder Woman w/ Woods or Hughes on pictures.

Dreaming...an original finite series drawn by Chris Bachalo.

XD

~Spo

[Inkpot1965]

I'd like to see you write an Addams Family comic with me drawing it. Just because I've always loved those characters, and it would need to be well-written. Of course, I'd not be hired. They'd let someone like Keith Giffen do it. And it would be a big hit.

[Flamebird]

Interesting choice. I love the Ragman character...but for some reason I can't picture what Gail's version would be like.

Me either. But I couldn't believe she was gonna use "Catman" either.

Look how that turned out. ;)

I just think she'd bring a different set of stories to keep the character from being a one trick pony.


Now, for all I know, she might hate the character and would never want to touch it, but I think it might be cool.

[willtupper]

Oracle : Year One w / the Goddess Nicola on art.

That was easy. Next! :D

[shrike]

BC/ GA without a doubt.

artist: Paulo Sequiera or Matt Haley with a good inker.

[TomStillwell]

Zatanna with Jesus Saiz.

Booster Gold with Mike Norton.

Teen Titans with Mike McKone.

[Larime]

...me write?

Any project or book that I am not currently working on.

And who would you most like to see draw it?

Gail

A guest shot on HOLLOW? :D

[AndrewCrossett]

A run on "Hellblazer" where John Constantine meets Black Alice and Traci Thirteen.

"Wonder Woman" with Benes. (And/or the movie screenplay).

"Catwoman" with Darick Robertson.

"Harley Quinn."

[cactusmaac]

Teen Titans

[TomStillwell]

Zatanna with Jesus Saiz.

Booster Gold with Mike Norton.

Teen Titans with Mike McKone.

I just had another idea.

LOSH with Mike McKone.

[spo]

OOOOO! I'd LOVE to see Gail write a Zatanna solo w/ Woods on art (I want him drawing alot of books).

/shrugs

~Spo

[amboy00]

The Authority with Kristian Donaldson doing the art.

[the4thpip]

Gotham Fancy.

[Tad Sivana]

Since I observe that one of your strengths is playing with a fairly large cast, I'd love to see you on a team book with lots of interesting characters.
My dream series for Gail? Bring back The Blackhawks for the present day!

[AC Chris]

An all new Challengers Of The Unknown.
Tony Moore on art.

FUN FUN FUN!!!

[Lester C.]

I want to see a Creote origin story. How a Russian Spetnaz solider becomes Savant's personal body guard can be one hell of a story if done right. I would even come out of comic book buying retirement to buy the trade.

[the4thpip]

So basically you're ripping off my suggestion?

[Lester C.]

So basically you're ripping off my suggestion?

I didn't read your suggestion in this thread Pip but I'm scared nevertheless your post shows that we think alike.

[Arawn]

Batwoman with Benes or Turner for interior art.

[Shisho]

I'd really like to see Gail do an indy comic that's not satire and not superheroey. I'd like to see her flex her writing muscles in something less mainstream (and really show off). I don't think we have enough female writers in the indy world. (I don't think we have enough female writers period.) I'm kind of tired of seeing superheroine boobies and super guys flexing like Arnold in his Conan days. I'm actually interested in what characters have to say.

I just picked up a copy of Dead @ 17 yesterday. I bet Josh Howard would be a fun choice for that dream title, should it happen. He seems to have a fun style. Or maybe Karl Moline. I really liked what he did with Fray.

[Kyuubi]

Wonder Woman with Phil Jimenez.


Supergirl with Phil Jimenez.


Birds of Prey with Phil Jimenez.


Hell, Captain Carrot as long as it's with Phil Jimenez.

[spo]

Would also love to see a project w/ Ryan Sook. He pencils a fantastic Diana.

~Spo

[Mick]

Wonder Woman (with Nicola) or Deadpool.

[shrike]

Actually...

I'd love to see Gail take a stab at the Dr. 13 cast that was the back up to the Spectre recently. I know Ms Simone would make it wonderfully wacky.

[The Beast Of Yucca Flats]

A Superman tale of some kind introducing that new villain you mentioned very briefly (I'm mostly going from memory) in that SBC interview a while back. Maybe with Adriana Melo on art.

[Infra-Man]

Definitely Wonder Woman w/ Adam Hughes or George Perez.

EDIT: You know, add Nicola Scott to that Wonder Woman list. Can't believe her work slipped my mind.

Also, Marvel Family w/ Jeff Smith or Mike Allred.

[The Beast Of Yucca Flats]

Oh, and maybe something with Zinda solo by Eduardo Barreto.

[Dr Ray Palmer]

Someday I'd love to see you write an X-Men book with Rogue, Kitty Pryde, and anybody else you'd like to include. (Cannonball is the third member of my Favorite X-Men Triumvirate, and would be an excellent inclusion, but Rogue is the character who I most want to see get some Gail love someday, and I'm trying not to be greedy.)

Art? Maybe Paul Smith, cos he's my all-time favorite penciller, and he draws the definitive Rogue AND Kitty in my mind. Alternatively, maybe Joe Bennett or Adriana Melo.

DCwise, as much as I love Ryan, I still want to see Gail write Ray Palmer someday.

[Corrina]

BC/ GA without a doubt.

artist: Paulo Sequiera or Matt Haley with a good inker.

I agree but since we're talking Dream Team...I want Mike Grell on art.

[herozer0]

Ultimate Spider-Man and his Ultimate Amazingly Awesome Friends (Iceman and Human Torch) with... Stuart Immonen. Or She-Hulk with Phil Jimenez

DC.. Wonder Woman with Benes

[wishlish]

Wonder Woman with Dave Sim on art.

No, I'm kidding...

Legion of Super Heroes. You pick the artist.

[shrike]

Wonder Woman with Gail as writer (we've already seen she gets it) and Nicola Scott on pencils (everyone who has NOT seen her WW simply MUST).

[Starba]

Wonder Woman ongoing with Nicola Scott on pencils

Teen Titans ongoing with Cully Hamner on pencils

[Arawn]

Oh how about a mini with the new Question...Don't care who drew it.

[Phana]

Deadpool or Agent X or a Deadpool/Tasky teamup with Mark Brooks on pencils!

[mattgoldey]

Ted Kord as Blue Beetle with Tony Harris art
Barbara Gordon as Batgirl with Lea Hernandez art
Wonder Woman with Amanda Connor art

[jerrymcl89]

I think I'd enjoy a Zatanna series.

[Reptisaurus!]

Still waiting on Night Nurse. :)

[Night Swordsman]

Mary Marvel ,it could be drawn by a fifth grader at that point and i still would buy it.

If including Marvel: DEADPOOL. Not that Fabian is not doing a awesome job,but I am still suffering from Agent X withdrawl. And it goes without saying: Udon drawing.

[WONDER BIRD]

Wonder Woman with Gail as writer (we've already seen she gets it) and Nicola Scott on pencils (everyone who has NOT seen her WW simply MUST).


I agree 100%!!

Gail and Nicola are an absolute dream team for Wonder Woman.

[Matt Doc Martin]

Matt Doc Martin: Comics Hero.

Barring that, a Punisher/BoP oneshot.

[Corrina]

I'd like to see Gail do something different. A new Gotham Central, I think. It would be a different vision than Brubaker and Rucka had but there's so much potential in those cops and Gail wrote Jim Gordon so well, not to mention the cops in "Rose & The Thorn," that I'd like to see her do it. I picture something more like "Hill Street Blues" than "Homicide"--which was what Rucka & Brubaker were trying to go with, I think.

It would also give a chance for her very dark sense of humor, so evident in Killer Princesses, to shine.

On art...you'd need someone with a grittier style. Cam Stewart might work well.

[Froggy]

Spiderman, any spiderman title, with Mike wieringo drawing it.

[Dwight R. Vlahos]

Let us do someting which is not typically wise if you have a small mind-brain, and assume that Marvel is about to do something sensible and decide to launch a perfect new Deathlok comicbook. This would return the character to the year 1985 (ALTERNATE 1985!) that the comic was set in and then have Deathlok as Luther Manning (aka, the only true Deathlok). This would be good for the true fans but the regulars people of earth do not understand things that are good and so need things that are still good but good in a way that they understand good. I cannot be more clear than this at all.

The only way that a Deathlok comic could possibly be better is to have ANOTHER DEATHLOK in it. How would this be done? Simpley to do it you would add a second Deathlok--Lady Deathlok! Yet, how could this be wwritten? You would have to find a lady person who knows guns to write Lady Deathlok, then have a man write the true Deathlok parts, and then allow them to battle in true Marvel fashionstyle, then allow them to fihght the true menace.

So the great comic I would love to read would be written by Ann Coulter writing Lady Deathlok. She would channel real cyborg rage in a real way! Then perhaps Rich Buckler or William Messsny Lobels could write the man parts. Lady Deathlok and Deathlok would both fight again--CYBORG CAPTAIN AMERICAN. Because that is what is coming next. Captain American is a very unreal concept (as opposed to future cyborgs which are quite possible). But if Captain American were an cyborg then he would work. In fact it could bfring his true colors to light as a liberal-commie ideal. Are you not following? Then read on for mind-thoughts of clarification.

If you do not understand why Captain American is a liberal commie--all you have to do is ask yourself two things which are First why is America's hero not using a gun and Two who else but a liberal would think that a guy with little birdy wings on his head is a good way to spend tax dollars? This has clinton or carter or some other president like rosnevelt written on it in big red (AKA commie!) letters.

Now some people do not like political books in their comics, but the best comics are a roadmap for real life. So to explain the symbolism it goes like this--

Cyborg Captain American - back from the dead, much like the liberal commie demo party
Deathlok - back from 1985 (aka the Reagan era)
Lady Deathlok - built from 2004 election worker and/or in the mode of Katherine Harris

So Cyborg Captain American comes back from the dead to ruin american aand then he and Deathlok and Lady Deathlok can fight for America's soul and heart blood. IN the end real America wins and Marvel says KACHING all the way to the bank. This would be the best comic that has ever been made by humans--at least until the next Deathlok TPB came out--ASSUMING THAT THE DEATHLOK THEY USE IS THE REAL ONE!

C'mon marvel and use your brains a little bit! Think of the tie in this would make to the upcoming Deathlok movie! Does anyone else smell a franchise in the deep fryer?
I do!

zoombaboom babies!

dwight r. vlahos

EDIT: *sigh* I did not read this post correct in enthusiastic excitement. I suppose the 'Gail Simone' could write the man and woman parts if the cabal had men and women in it at the same time. Perhaps a man from the Gail Simone cabal could write teh man parts and then Ann Coulter could write the women parts. Someone has to!

[stamen]

True confessions -- I don't care who publishers pick as artists on well written stories. I rarely see comic book art that I don't enjoy at some level, meaning I love most all of it. So many people bring such unique images to panels that I never really tire of seeing them. I not married to any certain artists, so I flat out don't care who does the art.

Titles:

1) Preacher

2) GA / BC -- disclaimer: Oliver's reputation needs to be retreived from the mud it has been drug through since Meltzer's dead beat dad story and Winick's cheating cheap shot. I am furious over what DC did to an honorable lefty from "way back." (and I'm a conseravative, go figure)

3) I'd like to see a "Bitches United" title -- with all the great female villians like Ivy, Selena, Harley, etc. Forgive my crude title, but you do tend to push the envelope.

4) OK, I know this last one sounds strange... bah, nevermind. I'll save it for a rainy day. :)

[bfrank]

...me write?

Any project or book that I am not currently working on.

And who would you most like to see draw it?

Gail

Have I mentioned that I'd like to see you write Wonder Woman?

With Rags on art......

[Kirayoshi]

Batgirl(the Cassandra Cain version) with art by Todd Nauck. Especially if DC would let her do that Angel of the Bat premise she had mentioned a few months ago in the forum, involving Cassandra becoming a Christian after an encounter with a priest whom she rescued from some muggers.

[stealthwise]

Agency X with Udon

A Sandman short story or graphic novel with Colleen Doran

A Y the Last Man story/gn with Pia

[Lunar Daydreamer]

...me write?

Any project or book that I am not currently working on.

And who would you most like to see draw it?

Gail


I’d like to see you take over Flash and inject that same magic, romance and sheer level of adrenalin that Mark Waid did back in the day – with your own twist of lime of course.

Either that or The Ray. Great character. Massive potential.

Both I’d like drawn by the brilliant & long lost Oscar Jiminez.

Please.

[Lunar Daydreamer]

Batgirl(the Cassandra Cain version) with art by Todd Nauck. Especially if DC would let her do that Angel of the Bat premise she had mentioned a few months ago in the forum, involving Cassandra becoming a Christian after an encounter with a priest whom she rescued from some muggers.

I'll second this. That was a fabulous proposal.

[geordiesteve]

Supergirl or Wonder Woman.

Frank Cho, Jim Cheung, Rags.

[OzBat!]

Gail Simone and Amanda Conner on Wonder Woman, or an ongoing Power Girl title.

Gail Simone and Mike Wieringo or Todd Nyuak on the revived, 15-year-old again Impulse!

Gail Simone and Kyle Baker on Plastic Man.

The only thing is... I want their roles reversed. Let Amanda write!

[the4thpip]

I didn't read your suggestion in this thread Pip but I'm scared nevertheless your post shows that we think alike.

See, if you'd just gone back and read my post, there is a tiny possibility this could have turned out "ha ha" funny. As it is, it's just "funny/weird."

[hellokittykat]

Wonder Woman
With Ed Benes because I don't care about the Canary and Wonder Woman thong, I just think he draws pretty girls.:)
Or with Amanda Connor (I know a complete 180 there;) ) but there has to be someone really good on inks with her work. She does such amazing things with expression but I've seen some examples where the inks were too heavy and some of her more subtle details were lost.

[JeffreyWKramer]

Gail Simone and Amanda Conner on Wonder Woman, or an ongoing Power Girl title.

I'd definitely buy that Power Girl book.

[Dr Ray Palmer]

I'd definitely buy that Power Girl book.

Yeah, that would be fantastic. I'd love to see Gail and Amanda C. do any project together, but Power Girl's one of my favorite characters, and since AC has established herself as the Power Girl artist....

[Tad Sivana]

...and another thing.
I'd love to see Gail take a stab at Top Ten.
I loved the Moore series and I was really excited to hear that DiFillipo would be doing the second series, but ultimately was disappointed. It was not a happy marriage of art and story.
But Gail would have fun with this and the ability to imagine wildly in the Top Ten Universe should be tempting to her.

[Matthew E]

Maybe a series where Blue Devil was returned to his Hollywood-tech, weirdness-magnet, great-supporting-cast roots... not sure who the artist should be.

[mgs]

definitely: Wonder Woman, Gold Digger (getting a bit tired of Fred's craziness), and some random X-Men 'buddy' book, any 2 characters, like the Meltdown Wolvie and Havok book from years back.

artist: honestly, doesn't really matter as you've proven in your works that the writing comes first. but, WW (Turner, need someone better, but can't think of non-cheesy artist right now), GD (Fred, of course), X-Book (anyone from Lee to Mignola).

[Mike_Norton]

Maybe a series where Blue Devil was returned to his Hollywood-tech, weirdness-magnet, great-supporting-cast roots... not sure who the artist should be.

I'd be all over that like Sean McKeever on a Bob Evan's Breakfast Buffet.

[heystacy]

Wonder Woman. George Perez would be a great artist to work with.

[Eliseu Gouveia]

Wonder Woman with Nicola Scott.

PowerGirl with the Dodsons.

Supergirl with Phil Jimenez.

Teen Titans with Perez.

Animal Man with J. H. Williams III

[JamesRitcheyIII]

I'd like to adapt (write and draw) Ghost Dog: Way of the Samurai, the movie by Jim Jarmusch, into a series (I know he died in the movie). I'd go all DARK 'Toth-y',-'Miller-y', expressionist.

Or, Doom Patrol (building on Drake and Morrison--to the next natural progression--NOT that Byrne debacle/blasphemy)--by (you guessed it)...ME!

MeMeME!!! Always about ME.:D

[ElvisGuy]

I'd love to see Gail's take on the controversial Sachs and Violens with George Perez doing the art of course.

I'd also love to see a Golden Age Black Canary mini-series by Gail with Trina Robbins doing the art.

[the4thpip]

How about a Sandman Presents: Delirium New Year's Eve Special with Jill Thompson on art?

[Red Berens]

the original/new Charlton characters!

[Corrina]

I'd love to see Gail's take on the controversial Sachs and Violens with George Perez doing the art of course.



Sachs and Violens are interesting but I don't think Peter David bought his A game--he was having fun but in the 'how many shootouts and naked people can I have in one page' kind of fun. Which wasn't bad for what it was, though I could have used more handsome naked men, but I think the idea behind it could have been deeper and the plots could have been better written.

Perez, though, he definitely bought the A game. If you like his art, particularly his women, you really need to buy the trade.

[Sean McKeever]

I'd be all over that like Sean McKeever on a Bob Evan's Breakfast Buffet.
They don't have a buffet. Ass.

:evilangry

[mgs]

Or with Amanda Connor (I know a complete 180 there;) ) but there has to be someone really good on inks with her work. She does such amazing things with expression but I've seen some examples where the inks were too heavy and some of her more subtle details were lost.

Connor draws very pretty & sexy girls, just, they are a bit more 'cartoony' than the more 'photogenic'-like sex bombs that Benes and some others like to draw.

and jimmy can ink her. ;) he does have a distinct inking style, but I don't think he takes away from her art at all.

[SoulOnIce]

Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons on Fantastic Four.

[Ethan Van Sciver]

A big Metamorpho series, that maintains the same logo as the old series had. Drawn by....hmmm...Bernie Wrightson and written by Steve Niles.

[Reptisaurus!]

Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons on Fantastic Four.

OK, I change my answer.

If we see "Gail Simone's The Adventures of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons as they write for Marvel" I'll be camped outside the comic shop a week before it's released.

[JamesRitcheyIII]

OK, I change my answer.

If we see "Gail Simone's The Adventures of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons as they write for Marvel" I'll be camped outside the comic shop a week before it's released.

I think that would be best suited to Frank Miller (providing he's off whatever bad drugs he was on during DK2). For realism, it would have to be a bloodbath.:D

[Michael P]

The Return of Spoiler.

[Zel]

Scandal/Knockout Bedtime Adventures! :D



More seriously though, Hawkgirl.

Simonson hasn't just dropped the ball on Hawkgirl's oyl title, he deflated it, set it on fire and buried it in the neighbor's yard.

She's kind of in a similar situation Canary was in. She's always in Hawkman's shadow and she never really gets to kick ass on her own.

[Dedagda]

There are some great suggestions on here.

Let me get into the game.

DC team books are traditional my biggest sellers: JLA, JSA, Teen Titans, Outsiders and Secret Six. I'd even lump 52 into that category.

Solo books do well intially then fade. Solo books with creative teams changes are the same.

I'd like a Gail team book that features major players. We need an Outsiders or TT for the new millenia. It can be her creation completely.

After looking at his work on Trials of Shazam, I'd love to see Howard Porter. My other favorites are Amanda Conner, Phil Jimenez, Dale Eaglesham, Ed Benes and Nicola Scott.

There are some other great solo mentions here like Blue Beetle and Power Girl maybe in an All-Star something. I certainly would like to see Gail team with on of the local Dallas artists like Kristian or maybe Josh Boulet for something dark or vertigo-ish.

[Lunar Daydreamer]

I re-read Gail's Legion today and I think you deserve the regular title. you flat out nailed the team in the issues you did towards the end of the previous run, great characterisation, blockbuster premise. Hope that's the news. HUGE Legion fan and I think you'd do them proud Gail.

Art wise, I don't know if he's still Marvel exclusive, but Mike Weiringo I would love to see on Legion.

[Reptisaurus!]

I think that would be best suited to Frank Miller (providing he's off whatever bad drugs he was on during DK2). For realism, it would have to be a bloodbath.:D

Good point. Although I loved, loved, LOVED DK2. Muh.

But Villains United was pretty violent. I think she's up for it.
