You're a Writer?

Spider-Man. You can't screw it up any worse than it's already been screwed up, so the odds are quite favorable you'd be a distinct improvement.

Well, you know what they say about monkeys and the type writer. He just hits random keys until his daughter tells him they look like words. He is a very fast typer.
Seriously...I think your style would best fit the Defenders. Not the Dr. Strange, Silver Surfer, Hulk, Namore Defenders, but one made up of secondary charaters. I just see you more of a Christos Gage writer. He takes second and third tier characters and really makes them his own.

I have no idea. I'll be honest, I don't know what your writing style is like, or how you handle certain characters, thanks to a certain local comic shop that can't get anything more obscure than Dark Horse or Oni comics.

I would love to do something like that.

So if you had the chance to write the LoSH in the rebooted version, would you, or go back to the source?
I kinda am confused with all the reboots.

try Hamelton's "Anita Blake" series, you cant possibly fuck it up more than it already is.

The Flash. Or Elongated Man. Or Robin.

I would continue on with the original team and ignore reboots just as Geoff Johns has done in recent issues of Action Comics.
I really like a Legion that is in their mid 20s or so and has been together as a group since they were teens. Lots of history there and lots of room for character growth.

Elongated Man. I'd really love to tell the tales of Sue & Ralph Dibny, Dead Detectives, as currently being seen in the pages of Outsiders. Starting with the story of Deadman teaching them how to possess living beings.
And Flash...the working class hero, not driven by dark justice or a neverending sense of responsibility, merely a desire to help people anyway he can.

I still think you would shine on a title like Teen Titans- Lose the "emo" crap and turn it back into a clubhouse for side-kicks.

I miss my 20's. LOL I like the teen Legion, but if you wrote them, I'd give it a read. :cool:
Now for some tougher questions :wink: :
Would you use Duo Damsel or Triplicate Girl?
Will Timber Wolf and Light Lass be a couple?
Light Lass or Lightning Lass?
Timer Trapper or Glorith?
Cosmic Boy in the male lingerie outfit?

I definately would take the Teen Titans in a different direction then they are currently on.
I would ditch most of the current team too. There's lots of good teens out there that aren't being use.

I was thinking more about Teen Titans last night and settled on a concept I really like.
If I wrote Titans, all DCU teen heroes would be card carrying members of the Teen Titans no matter what team they already belonged to. Blue Beetle, Stargirl, Traci 13...every last one.
Here's my reasoning.
Right now the JSA is taking on the task of training young heroes. Also, there aren't as many teen sidekicks these days that they need to band together in camradrie. So what is the purpose of the Teen Titans?
To me the Teen Titans should be like the Boys & Girls Club, YMCA/YWCA or any other recreational center where teens can socialize and take part in organized activies. The activities just would happen to be crimefighting.
A large cast allows you to showcase a variety of characters in different combinations. You can tell some great stories.
