Dream Teams Part 1
Legion of Superheroes by Grant Morrison and Phil Jiminez
How could this book not be good. Reboot the series again and let Morrison have free reign in the future of the DC universe. I think he would get a kick out of all the Lass, Lads, and Boys around, plus I think he would remain faithful to the past while making the DC Universe of the future really seem like the future. Combine this with Phil Jiminez's detailed pencils and design work evident in his Invisibles and Wonder Woman runs and you have a guaranteed hit.
Flash by James Robinson and Oscar Jimenez
James Robinson is THE writer for legacy characters. Look what he did with Starman. He gave Jack Knight so much personality he couldn't help but be cool. Imagine what he could do for Wally West and his cohorts. He's also great at taking old school villians and making them dangerous again. You can see this in his re-imaginings of the Shade and The Mist. Finally he would make Keystone City and Central City characters in themselves the way he did Opal City. Make them real places and you can ground a character. Oscar worked on the Flash once before shortly after Weiringo and Pacheco. I don't think anyone has shown the motion and energy evident in Flash's powers before or since and would love to see what he could do on the title redesigning the cities and supporting characters.
More to come, but for now I have to go to a rehersal for the wedding tomorrow.
