MAX titles you'd like to see?

I've never read any Blade, but I've seen the films and judging purely from that, which probably isn't the best way to judge a series since films aren't alwyas that good when based on comics.

But, yeah, I think there are probably some characters out there that could make a good MAX series, I wouldn't want to abuse the concept by mentioning ever character who would either kill or has a 'dark' feel to them. I would say Wolverine, but he's already quite violent in the series' he's currently involved in.

Any ideas?

[Don't pee in the (Dead)pool]

I think a Deathlok MAX title would be cool but the best candidate for a MAX title is Deadpool...:cool:

[Congo Jack]

My first thought went immediately to Blade. Blade has never really worked out with the same level of success in the comics as with the movies though. If it was going to survive, it's going to need a popular writer/artist at the helm. Or Marvel could go and get David Goyer to write it or something, or maybe Geoff Johns as he produced the Sticky Fingaz TV version.

[Guest_1001]

Motormouth and Killpower. Imagine the language!

[Siddon]

I would love it if they did a Hellfire club inspired series and give us a Sebastion Shaw (focus his relationship with Sage), Selene (give us an origin tale), Pierce (ultra violent lost Reavers story) and Emma Frost series.

[Cayman]

Modred The Mystic, playing up the Lovecraftian elements of Chthon a bit.
Deadly Nightshade
Satana
Blazing Skull

Deathlok sounds good too.

[daredevil1990]

Now I think about it, I'd like to see some none character series'. Like I know that they did a World War 1 series, War is Hell, still haven't got round to reading it yet. But I'd like to read some World War 2 or Vietnam stories which deal with how the soldiers handle it, that sort of thing alwyas gets my attention in films.

Have you read The Other Side by Jason Aaron?

[carabas]

Supreme Power volume 2.
By Straczynski and Frank.

X-Women, by Chris Claremont.
Let him get all of it out of his system so that he can get back to proper writing.

Weapon X Dossiers.
Warren Ellis tells stand-alone tales from the past, present and future of the black ops assassination squad.

[Don't pee in the (Dead)pool]

I would also like to nominate Darkhawk for the MAX treatment, or even in normal continuity... he just needs to be brought back dammit!:cool:

[Nightstar1441]

the Shroud and the Night Shift seems like a good book for MAX treatment as does a Serpant Society book (hey - they are mercenaries and work the underbelly of the Marve U - kinda makes sense)

[Monty_Cristo]

ANT-MAN: AGENT OF S.H.I.E.L.D

[ivesaidway2much]

Ultimate Hulk: MAX. The comic practically writes itself.

[rZi]

Agent Brand of S.W.O.R.D

[Ghost Shark]

Tigra, so we can finally see her nekkid. :tongue:

A MAX Phantom Rider mini would also be interesting.

[Spectreguy]

How about "the real story behind why all those crossovers take place"? those (no doubt) obscenity laden staff meetings where writers and artists say what they really think of having Wolverine in almost every Marvel issue and the slow destruction of every ounce of artistic integrity Marvel management crushes out of everyone they come in contact with? :cool:

Villains. Just short stories or arcs on the villains. What makes them tick, and what they do when the heroes are not around. Who are lovers, rivals, blood enemies. Some might even respect each other.

One thing I liked about the old X-men crossover X-ecutioners song was that the main villain hated Apocalypse as much as the X-men.

It always seemed artificial that all the villians normally considers themselves on a kind of "team". The heroes, yes I can see that (grudgingly, in some cases) That is their genuine advantage.

I'd really like to see Brian K. Vaughan follow up The Hood: Blood from Stones, as that was probably my favorite MAX title ever.

Will

[bushboy]

I think Deathlok with some serious cyberpunk updates(just for modern times) would be cool.

[DeadXMan]

Nick Fury: The End

[SeritoNiN]

None, it's a terrible line full of pointless sex, swearing and violence for the sake of being able to put it in a comic. Those things can work, but not when they're just put in for the sake of being able to do them. I haven't read one decent max series yet, and I love the Punisher as a character, so go figure.

[DeadXMan]

Alias, The punisher books

War machine Vol 1 (yes I like that Austian bok)
Howard the Duck
Terror inc was Good
the Poe books
Fury

Didn't care for the X-men Manga

[Beamish]

A raw, sexy, kick-ass Black Widow spy-related Max series would be awesome! Too bad Bendis killed off Yelena. The series could have alternated between both Black Widows.

[Abrojo]

Deadpool, with a serious writer.

Have you read Wisdom? Aside from the sex, I think it avoids that stuff.

[Robo Ape]

She Hulk, Black Widow & more Pete wisdom.

[worstblogever]

I agree a Deadpool MAX could be fun.

Hellfire Club...to be sure. I've wanted an inside look to all the schemes they pull we never see.

Midnight Sons being brought back as a MAX book, would be nice, too.

Thunderbolts MAX. Hot damn would that be insane. Think of how good Ellis has it right now. Then take it to the next level.

But a Dr. Strange MAX... that'd take the gloves off and let him tangle with a lot of horrific demons that you wouldn't get in a standard book. More adult themes...

[JET ACE LOGAN]

there has been a blade MAX series already with tim bradstreet covers, (2002)

lasted six issues i think..............

would love too see an other Blade MAX series, maybe by gregg hurwitz and lan medina ( new foolkiller series), i think it would be good.

Elektra as well in the MAX line would be cool too, assuming she is not now dead.

Deadpool too,

and maybe Solo.

[Siddon]

Power Pack MAX

[TheAmazingSpidey]

Daredevil.

[Alpha Male]

Silver Sable MAX

Any ideas?

How about, after all this Skrull crap, a revivial of Alias. The Pulse, a non-MAX book never worked.

[Young Avenger]

I want the MAX Ant-man book we were suppose to get years ago.

[Alpha Male]

Maggia MAX: I think it would be interesting to see a series chronicling the origins of Marvel's answer to La Costra Nostra and how they came to be. It would be great to shed light on mobsters like Silvermane, Top Man, Ceasar Cicero, Bossman Morgan, Hammerhead and so forth. The series could provide insight on how these mobsters rose to the top as well as depict their downfalls. You can also have some mobsters turn state's evidence and go into the Witness Protection Program. Plus the series can have cameos from different street level superheroes as well as The Kingpin. This series has the potential to be an instant classic.

It would be MAX series mostly due to graphic violence, adult language, nudity, drug use, racial slurs, etc.

[rogerio]

Silver Sable MAX

second that!:smile:

Silver Sablinova deserves some attention please...

I'd like to see a Nick Fury SHIELD max series and Luke Cage,

[brundlefly]

Supreme Power volume 2.
By Straczynski and Frank.

Heartily seconded, along with the suggestions for Blade, Deathlok, Hellfire Club, and a "supervillains" anthology-type MAX series.

I'll add a revival of Warren Ellis' prematurely-canceled 90s series Hellstorm: Prince of Lies, which would be right at home in the MAX line. Put Ellis and a good artist on this book straightaway and you're good to go.

[matthewaos]

What I would not suggest is characters like DD and Moon Knight. Those guys are not so violent, but they are not good people also. The perental advisory thing works fine for them. If they let them to go extreme (especially Moon Knight) it could be just pointless. Just my thought though.
Now Deathlock and Villains anthology sounds great...

Seconded, I'd definitely buy that, I've been waiting for years for Deathlok to return in a decent format, only to see the crappy appearance in New Avengers.

[Sandy Hausler]

I'd like to see a Nick Fury SHIELD max series and Luke Cage,


They've done both. Fury was horrible. Luke Cage was interesting, but not really "our" Luke Cage.

Thor.
set ONLY in Asgard.

Um, im thinking X-Force could be comfortably moved into MAX.

or Wolverine

[atomicturtle]

Hawkeye. Of course.

Another Nick Fury mini by Ennis and Robertson. Loved the first one so much.
Scourge mini would be nice too. I don't think the character has been seen in the Marvel U in some time.
Another Terror mini by Lapham would be good too.

[Libaax]

Another Nick Fury mini by Ennis and Robertson. Loved the first one so much.
.

Seconded !

The first one was good and i love Max Fury. The gritty old cold war warrior is awesome. Everytime i saw him Punisher i was so glad.

I would watch a new series of him in Max if written by Ennis or another high quality writer.

[bentleyml]

Luke Cage and Iron Fist cleaning up the streets of NYC one drug dealer, pimp and mugger at a time.

I'd like to see a MAX title starring Norman Osborn.

I'd prefer to see Norman Osborn dead, as he should have been after his bat flier impaled him those many years ago.

Sandy Hausler

[Sandy Hausler]

Hawkeye. Of course.

Why as a MAX book? He (I assume you're talking about Clint, not Kate Bishop) seems a standard MU character. You want to hear him cuss?

Sandy Hausler

[The Joker]

A Grey Hulk/Joe Fixit MAX title would be entertaining.

[jrc_burgess]

I would love it if they did a Hellfire club inspired series and give us a Sebastion Shaw (focus his relationship with Sage), Selene (give us an origin tale), Pierce (ultra violent lost Reavers story) and Emma Frost series.

I agree. The Hellfire club just so easily lends itself to the MAX comics. Under the MAX line we could see a real sinister side to the club, not just the fancy parties but the debauchery behind them and the casual disregard for life so many of the member have had.

Any Shaw story would be great but I think an interesting idea would be to look at the time Emma spent in the club vying against Sage for Shaw's attention. Could be a real fun rivalry there.

Normally Pierce doesn't interest me much, always found him rather 2D, but your idea about a violent Reaver story sounds a good idea. Its not the violence itself that appeals, but the idea of who its potential victims could be. More freedom in the MAX range.

I'd like to see maybe some stuff with Jean too. Maybe a MAX What if? What if Dark Phoenix had stayed with the Hellfire Club...

[Deep_Sleeper]

The problem with the Marvel U. is that a lot of their characters are in this gray area between superstar and forgettable.

For instance, if Charlie Huston hadn't revived Moon Knight, a lot of people wouldn't have thought much of it. However, all that time until the revival, all these people were asking for Moon Knight to be redone.

Judging from the MK book, Moon Knight is one of those characters that could be reborn in a MAX comic, but now that he's been established in the Marvel U. once again, it's kind of hard to see him getting done as a MAX character.

One character that I know is never, EVER going to get a MAX treatment even though I'd say he's ripe for it : Gambit.

He's a mutant and he used to be a thief. There is nothing more compelling than that.

Captain Britain & MI13 is the continuation of the Wisdom MAX series. Black Widow went from Marvel Knights to MAX and back again. Ennis' Punisher spent years under the MK banner before going MAX.

Luke Cage is married to someone known mostly for her MAX book.

[Stephen Day]

MAX is 616, for the most part.

That may have been true a couple of years ago, but everything done within the past year or so suggeats that Marvel now sees MAX, for the most part, as a place to tell more adult, non-continuity stories.

Out of the series that have been published under MAX in the past year, the Punisher MAX series is the only one that takes place in the MU.

What I meant is...MAX represents something that may take place in the Marvel continuity, but very little from Marvel continuity affects or changes the outcome of the stories in a MAX book.

For instance, you don't see Punisher running into Spider-Man or Wolverine during the MAX run by Ennis.

I'm not saying that's bad or good, I'm just saying that's what it is.

Irredeemable Ant-Man as a MAX title.

[TradePaperbackTraitor]

Kingpin.

In Ultimate Spidey there's a scene where he takes Spidey's mask off, puts it on one his henchmen who has failed him, and crushes his skull in his bare hands. No detailed visuals needed and it still made me cringe.

He's such a bad-arse, powerful crime lord, there are some great tales you could write of Kingpin if not restricted. The Tony Soprano of Marvel, just waiting for an opportunity.

[Deathstroke]

[Alpha Male]

Not only that,but make a MAX series about NY's underworld.Kingpin,Hammerhead,Owl,Maggia etc.

Some pages ago, I made the suggestion that there should a series chronicling the origins of organized crime in the Marvel Universe. I picture it as deleted scenes that couldn't be shown in the non-MAX titles. Each issue we get to see the inner workings of different crime families and cartels and how they came to be. We could also see the downfall of these groups as well. It would make a great anthology book.

[Alpha Male]

I would like to see Legion of Monsters as an ongoing MAX series. It would be a reimagining of the orignal concept of the book featuring modernized interpretations of classic monster characters like the Werewolf, the Mummy, Zombie, Frankenstein, Creature From The Black Lagoon and Vampire. It would be a cross between Supreme Power and Doom Patrol.

Marvel Super Hoes & Pimps. Super powered beings need super powered hookers, but who's watching out for those super powered ladies when their clients have the power to control minds, or blow up the planet? Why their super powered pimps thats who.

[Alpha Male]

Nomad MAX.

I know Jack Munroe is dead but I picture this series being a modern day Spaghetti Western/Travelogue book with a new unnamed character as the protagonist as he travels America in search of Adventure and discovering himself.

[skrullover]

Sue Richards MAX-mini series.

Come on, you know she does crazy shiite when Reed's not around! Look at her!

Think of the people who would make "cameos": Namor, Psycho-man, Doom, Kang. T'Challa. She could go "visit" a new character each issue. They could get into "adventures".

Is that enough innuendo or what?

[mgs]

A MAX, not Ultimate, but MAX Dr. Strange and Thor please!! :)

[Ghost Shark]

Squirrel Girl MAX.

You know you want it.

[2-4-5_Trioxin]

None really. Ive seen some made that I was interested in but was let down because it was just a excuse to use alot of bad language and graphic violence and thats about all it seemed to be about and tied together with a thin storyline.

Foolkiller, hellstrom, nick fury, most of the punisher stories, they were all mostly just sex, violence and a ton of cursing and just a big let down for me and nothing really that memorable.

Max line isnt really anything compared to vertigo, vertigo has the same adult content but manages to have really engaging stories and characters. Exterminators and preacher best out everything max has done just by themselves.

I agree with you completely on this.

Even if they do manage to find somebody that can actually do a quaility MAX book, it really shouldn't have any of their well known characters in it.
