Your Marvel 2017 wishlist!

[yet another]

Rebirth is Nu52. Wally West and post Crisis Superman are the only characters that are changed. And Deathstroke.

Didn't they reboot Wonder Woman too?

[The Whovian]

Yes, well, you're both wrong, 'cause the BP book is phenomenal! Phenomenal I tell you! You're just too blind to see it! I mean, if you ignore all the changes made to Wakanda, the blantant disregard for the mythos, the use of his OCs as mouthpieces, the complete jobness of T'Challa and the pretentious writting, it's top of the line...

HA! Good one!

[Overhazard]

Huh, that's pretty cool, actually. It's always nice to see someone's dream get realized. At this point, I'd take anyone over Bendis.

Yeah, me too. Bendis can do noir and street level characters but cosmic is way out of his wheelhouse. Maybe someone from the guardians cartoon can write it, it's the only current Marvel cartoon that's relatively watchable.

[Darthkostis]

I don't think that Bendis is a bad writer, but he streches himself too thin, and he tackles projects he just can't write. Lovecraft might be great at cosmic horror, but I doubt he could write a love story, even if his life depended on it. Bendis peaked with Daredevil, and he's been trying to capture the same lightning in the bottle ever since.

[Tiamatty]

I agree with that one, but that only applies to Bendis, right? He has 5 ongoings right now.
I can't think of anyone else who have more than 3 books. Aaron has 3, Waid has 3, Ewing will soon have 3 too, and several writers have 2.

In March, there's four or five writers who will each be working on 4, 5 or 6 titles. Bunn will have four writing credits, Soule will have four, Lemire will have 6, Waid will have 4, Bendis will have 5, Aaron will have 4. Sure, it's one month, and it includes tie-in minis. Even so, screw that. We'll wait and see what the April solicits show, if it's more reasonable. But this is a pretty regular trend, where some writers will end up with 4 or 5 titles coming out in a month, and I find that stupid.

[Incognito]

1 - Fantastic Four's Return
2 - A Legion comic book series
3 - Netflix series for Moon Knight, Ghost Rider and Blade

[Kaijudo]

A few more, based on what others have said:

Songbird promoted to A-list, with her own book and/or membership in main Avengers team. Something tells me she'd resonate with readers in a way that Captain Marvel just hasn't been able to, for whatever reason.
Returns to greatness/prominence for Tigra, Wonder Man, and Blazing Skull.
A period book, not necessarily Invaders, that focuses on Marvel characters from bygone eras. Maybe looking at groups like the Liberty Legion or Kid Commandos in post-war America. Or go back to WWI or earlier. Something other than 21st century New York City.

That actually sounds really neat. You could have each arc focus on a different time period. And arcs wouldn't necessarily have to be 5-6 issues. You could have a done-in-one of the Liberty Legion, a two-parter set in the Great Depression, a three-parter during WWI. Whatever. You could even have rotating creative teams. Tee Vixen Franklin and Meredith McClaren could do a story about a gay black female hero during the '20s, then David Walker does a story of the American Civil War. Then maybe a manga creator could do an issue set in post-war Japan.

There's a whole lot that could be done with a book like that.

Of course, it wouldn't sell worth ****. Sigh.

As long as you limit the arc length you can get away with it.

Treat it like Dc's Bombshell series-you are just doing stories.

Lets see a story about the formation of the NAACP from reporter Peter Parker's perspective and a guy in a Spider-Man type suit helps.

Or a take on the Tuskegee Experiment done to women and that's how you get She Hulk.

Or take the upcoming movie Hidden Figures-what if that was Storm, Misty & Monica?

Or Squirrel Girl going to Woodstock.

Or the JFK assassination with Punisher as the shooter or Miles's Dad.

You could get a ton of mileage out of it.

Yes it's a What If series BUT if you use it to test new blood or see how writers do-it's worth a shot.

If doing that represents the faster way a David Walker can write Peter Parker or Punisher-so be it.

[nnelg]

Didn't they reboot Wonder Woman too?

I think they did.

While that would also be fun, I don't think that's what Kaijudo was suggesting, and it wasn't what I was thinking. I was thinking it would be in-continuity stories set in different times in the past. So instead of Peter Parker in the Swinging '20s, it would be a story about a hero from the '20s.

Captain Britain solo or MI13 book
Return of firestar to the x-men
Proper cosmic adventures for the GOTG
Night Thrasher to join a group book

[Digifiend]

Night Thrasher should get together with the New Warriors. Most of the rest of the team would be the lineup from their most recent volume, minus Nova (because he's on the Champions) and Scarlet Spider (due to the events of Clone Conspiracy).

I would agree if you replaced "Sun Girl" with "Lila Rhodes". She's the one pre-existing character who could have replaced Tony Stark.

Lila should be the all-new all-different War Machine. She could be a friendly rival to Riri and use the Friday AI.

Songbird promoted to A-list, with her own book and/or membership in main Avengers team. Something tells me she'd resonate with readers in a way that Captain Marvel just hasn't been able to, for whatever reason.

Well, she's currently on Thunderbolts again and was previously on New Avengers. She'll probably get another chance with the Avengers later. Maybe Uncanny? She could even go back to Sunspot's team - I think what happened was that the T-Bolts writer wanted her from the start for a full reunion of the original team. He had to wait for New Avengers to finish. She definitely doesn't deserve to fall into limbo if the T-Bolts get cancelled.

8) Bird of Prey like ongoing, featuring Spider-Man characters (Puma, Arana, Steel Spider, Alpha, Cardiac, etc) and Madame Web as "Oracle"

Honestly, that sounds more like Detective Comics. And Arana changed her name to Spider-Girl seven years ago, in 2010's Young Allies series. Are you suggesting Anya should switch back?
