Or the dream is that he would work on a YA show since that is becoming a possibility... he did just nail the Sandman, I have to imagine he would be high on Marvel's list to write/showrun such a project if it does end up happening, it would be such a huge missed opportunity to not have him create it. Although, we don't even know his thoughts on the Hawkeye show/Kate Bishop in the MCU, a character that he and Cheung created, since no media has bothered to ask him.
But if Heinberg is off the table for YA comics due to scheduling or a myriad of other reasons, who would you want to write a YA Vol 3 type thing? Do you all want a YA ongoing/Volume 3?
Personally, I think of the writers that aren't Heinberg, Oliveira's work for the YA in the Voices comic felt like the strongest to me and most authentic to the team. I would love to see Oliveira do more with them. I do like Gillen's Vol 2 for what it is worth and think it did a lot of really important stuff, and some of the narrative stuff it explores is very interesting, but to me it never really captured the way I felt about Vol 1 and I am not sure why (but Voices pretty much did, and the YA didn't even get to reunite for that!). I thought each of the Presents comics back in the day were pretty good, and a lot of the tie ins to events and stuff like the Runaways back then just felt somewhere between OK and good to me, so none of those authors stick out to me as ones I would particularly want to return to write them (but many of them I wouldn't be upset about either)
