Marvel absolutely
needs to announce solo titles for Iceman and for Miss America. Iceman is, at present, their biggest openly gay character. He's a character who does have a dedicated fanbase, and there's definite potential there. Get a talented writer - preferably a queer writer - and put maybe Valerio Schiti on art, because Schiti is legitimately one of the best in the business at visual comedy, and an Iceman solo should be funny. (Seriously,
look at this page. It is
funny. Schiti's also fantastic at quietly emotional moments, and at big action scenes, and at everything else. He's one of the best comic artists period, and I mean of all time. But what matters, for an Iceman book, is having an artist who knows how to bring the funny.)
And Miss America, yeah, I won't stop demanding that until Marvel actually does it. Jeremy Whitley or Marguerite Bennett as writer. I'm a lot more open on artist. I mean, in an ideal world, it would be Sophie Campbell, because
why would it not. Jen Bartel would be another awesome choice. Natacha Bustos would be fantastic, though I'd rather not take her away from Moon Girl, and I'm hoping Moon Girl lasts a long time. Felipe Smith would be a great option. So, yeah, Felipe Smith for Miss America artist, if Sophie Campbell or Jen Bartel aren't options.
And you know what? I've been reserving my first-ever fan letter for Emma Rios doing another Cloak & Dagger series, but I'm actually going to change that. If Marvel puts out a Miss America solo title, with a creative team that interests me, I will write my first-ever fan letter. I will commit to that now, I will make that promise. The ball's in your court now, Marvel! I know no one at Marvel will ever see this, but still! If Marvel does a Miss America solo with a good creative team, I will write the first fan letter I have ever written! Make it happen, Marvel! Make
history happen.
