Dream Teams Part 2
Challengers of the Unknown by Warren Ellis and Geoff Darrow
Ellis can think up something truly worthy of the Chals to face as you can see in Planetary and all the mini-series he's put out lately. Give them new frontiers to explore and while your at it have Geoff draw those frontiers. Have you seen this guy draw 50 foot tall rampaging monsters and tentacled robots that can rip a man in half? Geoff can draw the ribs as they splinter.
Blue Beetle/Booster Gold by Peter David and Kevin Maguire
Give Peter David the comedic duo who has their hearts in the right places, but always seem to just barely get by. David has shown he has what it takes to write this series on The Hulk, Captain Marvel, and others. Get Maguire on the book because nobody draws Beetle better than Kevin Maguire!
Detective Comics by Brad Metzer and Gene Ha
Put the mystery back into Batman by letting Meltzer take the reigns of the Dark Knight. Make this series less about big fights and more about detective skills and a crime that needs to be solved again. Have Gene Ha supply all the moody lighting and forensic details and you have a hit written all over every page.
Aquaman by Alan Davis
Just give this guy Aquaman. He's proven he has the chops to write the book as he has years of experience on titles like Excalibur and the superb The Nail. Have him draw it as well. Anyone who doesn't think Davis draws the best Aquaman covers ever is insane.
Superman by Kurt Busiek and Stuart Immomen
Just take a look at Superman:Secret Identity and tell me this team doesn't do THE perfect Superman.
Nick Fury by Andy Diggle and Jim Lee
Make Fury matter again. Give him to a writer who knows action and let him run free through the mine laden fields. Get him back to the Super-spy he used to be. I mean this guy should be the James Bond come Clint Eastwood of the Marvel Universe. Give him all the latest high tech toys and have at it. Give Jim Lee the art reigns and this would be one red hot book. Guest stars like Black Widow and villians like Viper up the babe quotient enough to give the fans what they want. Jim Lee can do action like no bodies business too. I can see Fury vaulting through a shot up office building breaking a window on the 60th floor and jumping out into his waiting flying car now!
Dr.Strange by Alan Moore and P. Craig Russell
No one does other wordly better than these two. Put them together on Dr. Strange and you have a perfect fit. When Moore describes a cthulu come Ditko type demon for Strange to fight Russell would be right there on the same page with him blowing us away. The clean poetic art of Russel would fit well with Moore's decriptive prose. This would be Dr.Strange done right. Make Dr.Strange return to the dark recesses of the Marvel Universe again. The places where the Avengers are scared to tread.
