    Default Heroes in Need of Comics!

    I gotta say, upon searching for some comic book series to follow, I was shocked that many of the heroes I would have thought would have their own solo series, instead have absolutely nothing! Characters like Black Panther for example, I was disappointed to find out the only thing current he's in is New Avengers. So my question is this: which characters do you think are gravely in need of a solo series? I say Black Panther for sure, but who else comes to mind?

    Dr. Strange instantly comes to mind.

    Personally, I'm going to say Winter Soldier. You could say that he's in two series already - and will apparently play a significant role in Original Sin - but he's not the focal point of either one of them. With the success of the movie, he probably has enough clout to sustain an ongoing series, and hopefully, by the end of Original Sin, he'll end up in a place within the MU ripe for exploring.

    Frenzy. It's a shame that after all of the great work Professor Carey did with the character, she was pretty much tossed aside. All she's had are some cameos in Spurrier's Legacy.

    Oh, and Warpath. It's a crime that that guy is just wallpaper.

    Namor, Falcon, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, Taskmaster, Mockingbird, Nick Fury Sr. Or Jr.

    Probably a few others but I have to say it's kinda cool that I can no longer put Storm on list like this now

    Oh good choice, it's the perfect time for it too, seeing as the Winter Solider movie just came out. And he's due to be a main character next year in the third movie as well. There's probably a lot of new fans who'd like to read his material. I must say I'm excited to hear about his involvement in the Original Sin, I wasn't aware of that before.

    Oh I could so get behind a solo series for an updated Falcon, something closer to the Winter Solider film. I almost forgot some of those characters like Taskmaster and Mockingbird even existed! Further proof they need some coverage.

    HA! I would love for a Falcon solo minus the guns but more of an espinage angle to the series.

    As for Taskmaster you should check out a couple of his mini's. The Undo one is a perfect example of how the character could become a solo star and the others have been pretty good as well. You should also check out Mockingbird in the last Secret Avengers series and her mini(canceled ongoing?) with Hawkeye. I believe that is more than enough proof to show that she could be a really great solo character.

    The first that comes to mind is Shang-Chi the Master of Kung Fu, particularly if Monech would consent to write him and the gang of Reston, Leiko Wu and Black Jack. If Monech couldn't or wouldn't do it my next choice would be Brubaker or Gage. I know Shang has a mini-series coming up soon, but an ongoing dealing with the ever overlapping 'games of death and deceit' would be outstanding.

    Others I would like to see would be Winter Soldier, Namor and Vision (if only to get his convoluted backstory stabilized). I would also like to see Kathy Webster (aka Free Spirit) utilized and further developed as a supporting character.
