Pick your dream team Writer and Artist for X-men

[twobit]

Geoff Johns and Ivan Reis

[Home made ectoplasm]

Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely

and on a 2nd title

Chris Claremont and Chris Bachalo

[Deus ex Chris]

Morrison and Quitely back would be amazing, but I'd settle for Neil Gaiman and Jae Lee or Olivier Coipel.

[theXfactor]

X-men: Mike Carey and Steve McNiven
New X-men: Kieron Gillen and Chris Bachalo
X-force: Jonathan Hickman and Mike Choi

:smile:

[HeroxMatt2.0]

X-men: Mike Carey and Steve McNiven
New X-men: Kieron Gillen and Chris Bachalo
X-force: Jonathan Hickman and Mike Choi

:smile:

Mike Carey and Steve McNiven would make an awesome combo on X-Men! I'd totally read that. I like nearly all of your picks, and I'm intrigued with your pick for X-Force: I like Jonathon Hickman, and would love to see how he handles X-Force.

[Wind-Breaker]

Any of these teams I'd love to see write/draw X-Men books

Christopher Priest and Jim Lee

Gail Simone and Chris Bachalo

Peter David and Joe Quesada

Fabian Nicieza and Joe Mad

[theXfactor]

I really liked what he did with the F4 and Secret Warriors. I'd love to see what he'd do with the X-verse.

[NewMutant]

I like A LOT of writers and artist but the pairing that would excite me the most is...

Grant Morrison and Jim Lee

[coveredinbees]

Claremont and Jimenez
Byrne and Medina

[Gene M.]

Paul Pope and Mike Allred.

[twobit]

Joss Whedon/Rags Morales

Greg Rucka/JH Williams

Joe Kelly/Doug Manhke

Morrison/J.G. Jones

Old school in there prime

Wolfman and Perez

Roy Thomas/Jerry Ordway-Classic 60's X-men

Mark Waid/Barry Kitson

Giffen/DeMantis/Hughes-JLI Style X-Men

Tom DeFalco/Ron Frenz

Doug Moench/Don Newton

Alan Moore/Dave Gibbons or Brian Bolland

Paul Levitz/Keith Giffen-Great Darkness Saga Art, really fantastic

[OrangeCrux]

Neil Gaiman/Sam Kieth

[jarrod]

Gaiman + Coipel

[chickrockguitar]

Craig Kyle & Chris Yost with Mike Choi/Sonia Oback.

[Boozier]

Mike Carey and Clay Mann for sure!

And I'd love to see what Neil Gaiman or Alan Moore do with the X-Men.

[Psychic Illusion]

Mike Carey and Alan Davis

[OBrianTallent]

I'm really liking what Carey is doing with the Legacy book, but would rather like to see him write an actual team again, but that's a minor quibble. So I would leave him on the title. I'd also leave Clay Mann on the title also.

I would give Uncanny to Paul Cornell and Olivier Coipel alternating with Steve McNiven.

[Fatguy]

Morrison and Quitely back would be amazing, but I'd settle for Neil Gaiman and Jae Lee or Olivier Coipel.

lol You'd "Settle" eh?

Mine would be probably be:

Jason Aaron and Alex Meleev for X-Force
Mark Waid and Carlos Pacheco on Uncanny X-Men
Grant Morrison and J.H. Williams X-Men
Yost and Kyle and Chris Bachalo on New Mutants

[Talisman]

Mike Carey & Phil Jimenez-Uncanny
Mark Waid & Alan Davis-X-Men
Jason Aaron & Phil Hester-Wolverine
Jason Aaron & Clay Mann-X-Force
Jonathan Hickman & Stefano Caselli-New Mutants

[Seresecros]

Chuck Austen and Humberto Ramos would be f%$^ng awesome. Legitimately, I'd love it.

[coveredinbees]

Jeff Parker and Jimenez/Gurihiru/Larocca

[jackarandos]

Uncanny: Peter David & Clayton Crain

Legacy: (like it is with rouge now but changing characters every arc) Mike Carey and Dan Abnet writing (not always together) and Ariel Olivetti on pencils with Adi Granov on covers.

[Ryan W]

Busiek and Alan Davis :smile:

[fod_xp]

Joss Whedon/Rags Morales

Greg Rucka/JH Williams

Joe Kelly/Doug Manhke

Morrison/J.G. Jones

Old school in there prime

Wolfman and Perez

Roy Thomas/Jerry Ordway-Classic 60's X-men

Mark Waid/Barry Kitson

Giffen/DeMantis/Hughes-JLI Style X-Men

Tom DeFalco/Ron Frenz

Doug Moench/Don Newton

Alan Moore/Dave Gibbons or Brian Bolland

Paul Levitz/Keith Giffen-Great Darkness Saga Art, really fantastic

NICE!!! You listed some great combos!

I already got my wish: Grant Morrison, Frank Quitely and co. Warren Ellis with Simone Bianchi and Phil Jimenez. and Kieron Gillen and Steven Sanders for SWORD.

Twobit, have you read Mark Waid and Barry Kitson on Legion of Superheroes?
It was okay, but not really my cup of tea. However, Waid wrote one of the best F4 runs in my opinion.

Alan Moore is not going to ever happen, too much bitterness from DC, Marvel and Rob Liefeld. He releases a few books under Avatar Press, though.

[C. Earl]

-Claremont & Davis (rotating with Pelletier) on Uncanny

-Carey & Medina on Legacy

-Millar & Yu on X-Force

-David & Jimenez on X-Factor

-Kyle/Yost & Ramos on New Mutants

-Aaron & Larroca on Wolverine

[Silvermoth]

It would be interesting to see what Dan Slott does with an X-title, coupled with Andrew Pepoy on art duties.

[lockerogue]

Jonathan Hickman & Stefano Caselli-New Mutants

That would be so hot.

[twobit]

Yep, that's why I chose Waid and Kitson.

JMS/Copiel

Buisek/Perez-Did the Avengers right

Alan grant/Norm Breyfogle

Dan Jurgens/Steve Epting

Abett/Lannsing and Copiel-Legion Run was awesome

Kesel/Freddie Williams

McDuffie/Benes

Moore or Gaiman/Sprouse

Geoff Johns/McKone or Cassaday

Hell Geoff Johns and any good artist to wipe the horrible taste from the last 6 years

Classic Teams I had wished happened

Barr/Aparo-RIP

Stern/John Buscema-RIP

[fod_xp]

Moore or Gaiman/Sprouse

This x100!

Sprouse is so talented. I loved his art from Tom Strong, one issue of Global Frequency, and Ocean.

[Talisman]

That would be so hot.
It soooo would.

[Frank]

Mark Waid + Howard Porter on Uncanny X-Men.

And there would be one X-book only, not X-Force, or X-Factor or Legacy, etc....

I liked their FF work so much, especially on the "Authoritative Action" storyline. I never liked the Fantastic Four but Waid made me interested in them. Since I think the X-Men are an absolute lost cause, I think Waid and Porter would make it fresh again.

[fod_xp]

That would be so hot.

Stefano Caselli is my favorite "Young Gun 2009." His art is superb!

[Faded]

Writers are a bit more inconsistent so I no longer really desire particular penners to come and save the day (although Marjorie Liu...<3 <3 <3).

I most want to see Olivier Coipel on an X-Title, though.

Whadda guy, whadda guy!

I read the post with out know the person's name, but when I double checked the poster it suddenly clicked why his team ups could be legendary!

Sadly Alan Moore will never sign back up with Marvel, DC, or Image, too much animosity and explosive personalities. Ellis on X-Man sounds groovy, but then again all of those hold so much potential.

Although the Johnathon Hickman on art and writing for X-Force would bring up a lot of problems with deadlines and art. Hickman excels better at iconic art and graphic design. The Nightly News was Hickman testing the waters for that kind of comic.

[Triforce]

A while ago, there was some talk about Mark Millar to write X-Men and kind of rebooting it. This could work both ways, but I am intrigued and would like to see what he'd make of it.

Other than that, I'd like to see Bendis, Neil Gaiman, BKV or Joss Whedon taking writing duties on any X-title. (And Alan Moore just for the hell of it)

PAD has been on X-Factor for a while, but I'd like to see him writing a core book now.

As for an artist, I just want to see Jim Lee drawing the X-Men just once more.

[IN-A-SYNCH]

i would say

lobdell and billy tan

and fabian nicezia and jim lee

i like the guy that was drawing justice league to draw any book, he has crazy skills.

Do you mean Ed Benes?
If so, he SHOULD draw X-Men if Jim Lee's unavailable.

Just look at this:

Fabian Nicieza & Jim Lee
Christos Gage & Oliver Copiel

ed benes yup i think he is drawing BAtman right, he was underused and could be a major talent in the Xmen.

He needs to deflate Kitty's breasts.

[TJKernan]

Ostrander and Portacio would be cool for me!

[devrim]

i had a whole list of writer/artist ready, but i am getting distracted by psylocke's ass.

[Ned McDodd]

i would like to see on x-men:

Scott Lobdell and Ian Churchill
Kurt Busiek and Ivan Reis
Paul Jenkins and Ed Benes

[Bhogz]

Travis Charest on all books

[Thirteen]

Going for talent that has not already had a substantial stint on the titles....

WOLVERINE: (Writer) John Ostrander, (Artists) Leonardo Manco and Essad Ribic

[Fatguy]

Ed Benes is ok. He's one of those "Loves the booty" artists, where women seem to be contorting their bodies in strange positions just show some ass in half the panels.

[jeansbff]

Hands down. Bring back grant morrison and phil jiminez. But this time to uncanny.

[Psycwave]

Like Jim Lee or Frank Cho. Those guys seem to get work...

[Triforce]

I'll learn to live with it. :wink:

[Havok83]

Joe Kelly and Carloa Pacheo. They were gold before

[MuhollandDriver]

Grant Morrison, Neil Gaiman, and Marjorie Liu are names i'd be quite happy to hear.

[Lobsterdom]

I would've picked up Second Coming if it was written by Steven Grant and illustrated by Sean Phillips.
