What veteran/classic comic book writers would you like to see writing a monthly book

[Dusty.]

I would like to see Walt Simonson writing Thor again someday. (and if JMS leaves)

David Michelinie and Roger Stern should be getting more work. They could have each had their own Secret Invasion 3 issue minis, as well as the Dark Reign minis, but nothing... They could get arcs in between regular creative teams, but again, they get nothing... Why not give Michelinie the recent Venom Origin mini series instead of somebody else?

It's not wise to brush off creators of the past. It'll set a trend that the current group would rather not have to face in 10 years. The Sterns and Michelinies of the world, eager to work, and still good writers, should always have a place at Marvel.

I wish both had monthlies with good artists.

Louise Simonson writing the inevitable Power Pack where they're all retconned to kids again - though hopefully this won't mean Marvel giving up on the all-ages version.
Ann Nocenti on some sort of New York-based vigilante drama - she's unlikely to be handed Daredevil again given his current popularity with crime thriller writers, but her run on that title is criminally underrated, even allowing for the fact that she succeeded Frank Miller on writing duties.
J.M. DeMatteis on Spidey - he fired on all cylinders even before all the BND hubbub, and I wouldn't mind seeing what he could come up with now. His death issue for Aunt May was about the only good thing to come out of the Clone Saga.
Gerry Conway on Spider-Girl. I have absolutely no idea why this popped into my head, but it seems to make some sort of insane sense and won't go away.
Dan Jurgens on New Warriors - another one for the 'insane kind of sense' pile, but I have to admit a fondness for his Thor and Superman runs that managed a good mix of ridiculous and po-faced.
John Wagner on Punisher - an underrated Brit writer who's more famous for doing Judge Dredd so well even Warren Ellis reckons he's untouchable. Yeah, I know: "Judge Who?", but trust me - this is the guy who taught Garth Ennis how to write stories about people at war and men with guns doing terrible things. He did a few Punisher one-offs back in the 1990s that weren't bad, but since then has stuck to the slightly-bigger paycheque of Brit anthology 2000ad.

Good call on Roger Stern: I think he could be best placed on 'flashback' retro-themed miniseries like Hulk: Grey. His Superman/Hulk one-off was pretty good retro-themed fun, and I can't think of many other writers who could have pulled that off with a straight face.
