Remember Marvel Premiere? Marvel Spotlight? Marvel Presents?(not the one that had Wolverine in almost every issue but the original). These series produced some of the best stories and characters that Marvel has put out.
I know that there is a Marvel Comics Presents already out there but with everyone wondering why their favorite characters get no love/respect/playing time, should Marvel bring these other anthology titles back?

I think it would be a good idea. They would be good books that people who don't want to settle on one character could read. Additionally, Marvel could use these titles to test drive new writers, artists, inkers, or even characters.

There's also other short lived marvel anthology series like Marvel double dare and Marvel shadow and light.
The short stories present in some of them are quite good , the thor short story in marvel double dare issue 1 is actually pretty good and quite touching , doesn't even have thor in action , just a series of letters addressed to thor.

I read on Newsarama somewhere(I think) that Marvel is starting up another anthology series called Astonishing Tales. The first issue will feature stories about Punisher, Wolverine, Iron Man and I think Spidey. Should there be a main character throughout the series ala' Wolverine in MCP? I would like to see them touch on all corners of the MU without having one main character thru the series. It would also be great to see C and D listers get a little spotlight. I'd also like to see them do "where are they now" stories on some of the major and minor characters that were affected by the big event crossovers that we've been having lately. They could look at what happened to the captured heroes of SI during their captivity or show actual moments when they were replaced. There are a lot of good things they can do with this.
