Wow...that is a great pairing!!!

By the way, I would love to see Mike Allred do Plastic Man.

Thanks, guys!

5. I have always wanted to see what Grant Morrison would do with Captain Britain.

I think that would be terrifying and potentially awesome.  What a great idea!

[Matt H.O.W.L.]

1. People would be shocked to find out that I have never read The Dark Knight Returns.

2. The single topic in comics that I would say I know the most about is Spider-Man.

3. I have always been kind of curious about Doctor Strange but I just have never known where to start.

4. To me, comics are at their best right now but I will always love the comics from the mid ‘80s.

5. I have always wanted to see what Brubaker would do with Moon Knight. ?

6. The Sentry wouldn't suck so much if they just did something awesome with him, maybe.

7. The worst thing that has ever happened to comics is Event-and-then-Retcon-itis.

8. The reason I love comic books is the unlimited scope of storytelling: anything can happen for the same ‘cost’ (unlike, say, a movie).

9. Although I need great writing AND great art, I might still buy a book that only had great writing.

10. The best casting in a comic book movie was RD, Jr., as Tony Stark.

5. I have always wanted to see what Brubaker would do with Moon Knight. ?

the only writer that could make me interested in that character

[tomkaters]

1. People would be shocked to find out that I have never read any Pre-Bendis Avengers after the first essential.

2. The single topic in comics that I would say I know the most about is the JLA.

3. Going to pass on this one. I usually just grab anything if I am curious about a creator.

4. I am difficult. I don't necessarily think comics are at their best right now. I think they are very good, but I don't see comics as really "evolving" per se. The technology that allows the creators to bring their vision to paper has definitely evolved. The books might be more narrowly attuned to us as a fanbase but I don't think that is necessarily better. Also I love the Silver Age.

5. I have always wanted to see what Geoff Johns would do with the Fantastic Four.

6. Tawky Tawny is awesome. Use him more

7. The worst thing that has ever happened to comics is the direct market.

8. The reason I love comic books is because they bring me joy.

9. Although I need great writing AND great art, I might still buy a book that only had great art.

10. Alec Baldwin as the Shadow.

8. The reason I love comic books is (I know this could be an entire essay - keep it brief Tolstoy)It is a great way to escape reality...and yet it also illuminates and broadens my perspective so I can function in the world.
