Current Marvel writer that you would want to take over after Hickman?

[pkingdom]

Ewing makes sense, would love to see Tom Taylor back. But I think someone like G Willow or Saladin Ahmed would do well. His Exiles run was great.

Actually, the more I think about it, despite there being some big talent at Marvel, I'd rather it not be a straight white dude helming it. See what that would change.

I'd go with Ewing, he'd be a great fit I think and be very mindful of Marvel history.
Cates is a terrible choice, but he'd fit a Wolverine title very well (I'm a Cates fan, but his team books are nowhere near his solo books).

Although I know he is at DC, if Snyder ever comes over to Marvel, I imagine he would bring a killer X-Men pitch.

Edit. I saw someone mention Saladin Ahmen and that might be another good choice.
That Exiles run was underappreciated (although some of the scripting could have done with another draft).
A part of me thinks that Hickman is gearing Tini Howard to eventually take over.

[Havok83]

None.

They'd all feel pressured to copy him probably.

Bring in new talent.

Did they copy him after he left the Avengers and they took over the line? Why would they be expected to do so now?

I don't see why all the love for Taylor - what did he write? X-Men Red and Wolverine? it seems to me that anyone but Ewing would be a step down from Hickman, Taylor included, even on a purely craft-level.

Taylor back would be great for sure, but not after Hickman. Same for Cates, he is great but I Prefer someone make a run before him to cleanse the palate. I don't get why people think he is awful LOL

G Willow Wilson didn't impress me outside of Ms Marvel and she is too slow

I would like to Rosenberg get a real shot on X-men, that uncanny run was a fake one.

Both nwe wolverine and Red were good books and he also has many hits over DC

Ewing seems to be a favorite, it would be a great choice.

People liked his Dceased mini. Personally i think that his stuff is meh, most of the time.

taylor has lot of hits, most impressive is transform a ridicuous game on a eries of successful books. IDK why people like to diminish him so much, he leaves nothing to Hickman

His X-men Red was fantastic with great ideas but Im not sure that would be enough for him to spearhead the line. He should be writing an ongoing though

Yeah, that's generally my assessment of his work too. I read X-Men Red and was left thoroughly disappointed. I think his DC work has been better than his Marvel work (although that's not saying much IMO), and he seems to be more comfortable(?) with AU books. I won't hold Injustice against him, I am diametrically opposed to the premise of that entire travesty.

I usually agree with you, but I just don't get the love for that book. Can't account for taste I guess (self-deprecating, I'm clearly in the minority).

When given free license, Taylor writes stories with large numbers of characters with plenty of actual character development and willingness to make changes. His 2 X books were filled with optimism and a sense of progress. He would be great. He's like an anti-Hickman, who's writing is usually really pessimistic.

[SiegePerilous02]

Ewing or Wells would be the best choices.

I'd ideally like Hickman and Ewing to go over to DC though. Aside from Waid most likely getting Superman in March, these are the only mainstream "big name" writers I would want writing the Man of Steel.

IDK, the well is so thoroughly poisoned for Injustice's continuity but even then what I've seen of the comics doesn't indicate Taylor is helping the situation there at all. Was it his idea to turn Steve Trevor into a Nazi?

Kyle and Yost and Gillien

For those saying Cates, he'd never want to do X-Men, he has said himself he doesn't like doing team books as he doesn't feel they are his best works. It's theorised he only took Guardians because it allowed him to do Silver Surfer Black.

Alright, this is a good reason for him not helming X-men.

Ok that Hickman also is bad on team books it. So why not?

And that is a lot better than what Hickman delivers, impossible be a downgrade. I think he won't do it because Marve would ask him to sign exclusivity and he already said that he doesn't want to go exclusive.
Also his niche for now is out of continuity tales like DCeased.
So people can breathe and chill, that won't happen so soon.
