    Dear god. There's a gazillion X-books as it is. They need to cut back, not keep adding.

    Shang Chi is on Hickman's Avengers. Black Panther just had another series canceled due to low sales; I don't see Marvel giving him another so soon, even if he is one of Alonso's favorites.

    He's apparently going to be the moral center/moral compass of the New Avengers, whatever that means.

    Not sure either, but Hickman had me at Illuminati.

    Can Namor throw down? Is there such a thing as Atlantis martial arts?

    I say unlikely. The Best you will get is Heroes for Hire or something. Although I am kinda surprised we have seen nothing about Iron Fist. Given his massive push and that stupid PF Retcon.

    Fearless does have so far more melee inclinded characters. Val for Swormanship, Dani with her Archery, and Misty with her H2H.

    But yeah given that they are on a TV Show, you would expect some use out of Iron Fist and Luke Cage. To a lesser extent White Tiger. Although not a shocker if DC is any indication given at least half the teens on YJ are warming the bench.

    Namor seems to favor the Smack Down martial art.

    They have a warrior caste, so one assumes so. The problem with any Atlantean martial art is that it works best underwater ... in a 3D, 'no gravity' situation.

    I wonder if we could be so lucky as to get a Power Man and Iron Fist series?

    I would buy a Shang Chi ongoing. He's awesome to the highest degree.

    Brian Wood should be a current X writer, he's earned it and then some if you ask me. I'm all for Bendis being the main guy but let's have some alternatives.

    Honestly, I'd love to see an martial arts book that had Iron Fist as the main story but would have 4 or 6 page short back up tales involving some other Marvel martial artist character. You get the best of both worlds, it would have consistent star power of Iron Fist every month and a anthology feel to it with the back up stories that can be used to supplement the Iron Fist story or just update another martial arts character that is in limbo like Shang Chi, Colleen Wing or any of the Immortal Weapons.

    They keep saying anthology books don't work, though I think a themed anthology, especially one which is held down by a fairly popular character, like you proposed, would sell. I think it would do better than DC Presents, which has a jumping on / off point every arc / 6 issues.

    I wish they would just put out an Immortal Weapons miniseries at the very least.

    They should have given us a giant MA tournament instead of Avengers Arena.
    I like swords.
