Do it right, and it can simultaneously be a book that isn't afraid to go where Amazing Spider-Man can't (or won't) while also delving into the mythos and lore of Spidey comics to the point of being a "Spider-Man Universe" sort of title.

    (Andi Benton and Anya Corazon should definitely join the Slingers -- as long as Anya gets her bug goggles back. A friendship between the two would be great.)

    I've also long desired to see a New Warriors Initiative title that showcases young heroes from across the Marvel landscape while using classic NW members -- and some additions from Avengers: the Initiative -- as the main cast.

    But, to be honest, right now I mostly just want to see the continuation of Runaways with the same creative team. This volume has been the best since the departure of BKV, and I hate to lose it -- and the kids again.

    -Pav, who enjoyed seeing the Livewires again after all these years in Agents of Wakanda...
    It'd be even better if the Slingers fought against Mephisto again.

    Tbh, I'm not optimistic enough about the comic industry to have such expectations. The only title I'm desperate to see relaunched is X-Statix/The X-Cellent, and that's because it was announced and then followed with dead silence. Similarly, I felt the same about Milestone when it's relaunch was announced far too many years ago. That's basically how it has to go for me to feel anything close to desperation or anxiousness for a title.

    No one would confuse the Kookie Quartet for Special Forces. Seriously, I get that the analogy may be lost on you, but sometimes "mightiest" is just slick marketing and not fact.

    I don't know about desperate but an Defenders team closer to the classic line-ups in character type at least. I always felt Cloak would make a great Defender, especially visually (and Nightcrawler).

    James is a part of JANUS, so I’ve a feeling we might see some of him. Maybe it’ll be a lead up to a relaunch.

    I'll definitely give it some consideration, Digifiend. Thanks for the recommendation.

    That'd be great. After the departure of Ennis, I never thought I'd ever read another Punisher storyline with a sense of humor.

    But darn it, Duggan made it work and it was quite entertaining.

    To the utmost, I agree! And bring back the carapace while you're at it...

    Another great idea, Whim. IF things don't work out with GOTG, then Rich Rider's Nova can safely segue into another cosmic odyssey/ongoing series...

    Nova—a book about the Corps, but the main focus would be on Rich. Writer: Chip Zdarsky, Artist: Carlo Magno
    Darkhawk—building Chris into a real cosmic hero. Writer: Gerry Duggan, Artist: Cory Smith
    Infinity Watch—a book where Adam Warlock combines some well known cosmic characters, with some more obscure ones thrown in as well. Writer: Greg Pak, Artist: Matteo Buffagni

    Uncanny X-Men (classic hero action based in the US)
    Thunderbolts (Kurt and Fabian based)
    X-Statix (with the resurrection protocols being used to bring them all back)
    Exiles (not necessarily mutant related but it’d be cool to have a group of characters with nowhere to call home)
    Spider-Man 2099 (dealing with Miguel stuck in the present and integrating into the MU)

    Yes, Silver Surfer I agree
    Moon Knight but not Jason Aaron. If his use of him in Avengers is to convince me he knows Moon Knight he has failed.

    Darkhawk
    Deathlok (Henry Hayes &/or Michael Collins)
    Thunderbolts
    Nova Corps (led by Rich Rider)

    Ewing is always a great choice.I think a team up with Kenneth Rocafort again would be awesome.

    Facts, I loved Rocafort on The Ultimates. If they would have drop America and maybe Carol I think the book would still be running. The team dynamic was janky, and both characters carried some dumb agendas with them. Scale the Avengers back to being earth based team 85% of the time. Add Deathshead 2, and Nova while swapping out America and Carol. With this roster why couldn't we get this book again nobody is "really" using any of these characters to any significance.

    Bringing back the First Line would be great. Byrne create a plethora of awesome characters that are just being wasted.

    Looks like you've forgotten how Marvel: The Lost Generation ended.

    Most of them died thwarting a Skrull invasion.

    It's comics. Characters neither stay dead or in their own time period.
