Multiversity Comics’ Holiday Wishlists

By | December 24th, 2010
Posted in Columns | % Comments

It’s Christmas Eve, and just like last year we would like to present to you our Multiversity Christmas lists. Brandon, Josh, Matt, and Gil have all decided to make their own lists to the Santas of the DC Universe and the Marvel Universe with their top 5 requests for the future of the universes (despite both Matt and Josh’s inherent Judaism…). It’s been a big year from both comic companies, but did they give us all we wanted last year?

Once again, they’re fun little lists with snarky commentary amidst some legitimate commentary. In the meantime, David is once again painting his face green and watching a certain Jim Carrey holiday movie on repeat (again – why he keeps picking that version I have no clue) while Walt watches that creepy 3D Jim Carrey movie and saves all his ideas for a future article. We have no idea where former writer Groot is.

Click behind the cut for our thoughts!

Brandon’s Wish List

Marvel:

1. Wolverine Renumbered

This is a leftover from last year’s wish list but this year I feel it’s even more important to see this occur. I know over the last decade Marvel has been big on restarting books at #1 to bring in new readers. I understand the marketing value of it. I do. I have one issue with this marketing tool though. I feel it strips titles of their pedigree. When you have a book that has been hanging in there for so long you should celebrate it and acknowledge its history. So many great creators have helped to mold this title over the years including, Frank Tieri, Chris Claremont, Rob Liefeld, Lenil Yu and now Jason Aaron, just to name a few. With the title at one of it’s highest points in some time I think it is important to renumber this book to show people that this book isn’t some new up and comer but instead a giant of the industry and a title to be reckoned with.

2. Make Mine Weekly!

I want a weekly Marvel event. DC has laid the groundwork for how to accomplish the task and has refined and tweaked it over the years. Marvel has even gotten onboard by making Amazing as close to a weekly book as we’ve gotten from Marvel. Now it’s time to use the format to establish some of the more underrated characters much like DC did in 52. Imagine a Marvel space weekly by Abnett and Lanning or a book that touches on all aspects of the Marvel U by Bendis and the newly returned Bagley? It’s doable and should be done.

3. X-Title Shake-Ups

I think it’s time for some changes in the X-Universe. It’s time for a new creative direction in the X-Men neck of the woods. I think we’ve had Fraction helming it long enough and while some great things have come from his run I also feel a lot of what I love about the X-Men has been lost in there too. Right now the best book on the stands is Uncanny X-Force. As much as I love that book the best Uncanny should be the flagship title in my humble opinion.

4. Maggott!

I want Maggott to return! Bring the guy back already! I know I am an army of one here so this wish is extremely unlikely but I don’t care. This is my goddamn wish list! Mike Carey has expressed interest in the character in the past and Jeff Parker included him in Exiles so the idea of him being used isn’t too far fetched. Maybe what I really need to do is start a campaign! Yes…a campaign…stay tuned fanpeeps…

5. Bachalo X-Men

Can we please have more Chris Bachalo action on X-Men titles please? The guy is crazy awesome whenever he gets his pencils on these guys. His Iceman is one of the coolest versions of the character. I know we’ll be getting him on an upcoming X-Men arc but I’d like to see more after that. Here’s hoping that’s just a taster before the feast.

DC:

1. Justice League: Generation Lost crew as the new Justice League!

I want this badly! Right now I think the JLA is kind of at a low point. It’s not a really strong team nor do people seem to really feel a bond to the current Titans comprised JLA. In 8 more issues JL: Generation Lost will wrap up and I feel like it would be a perfect time to bring Judd Winick and his JLI team over to the big book. I know it would get me to buy it. I mean seriously, how good has Winick’s book been? Really good, and I whole-heartedly think he could do the JLI justice in the pages of JLA. Just keep the current cast and add Guy Gardner and Martian Manhunter and this would be a perfect book.

2. New Hawkman Ongoing

This was on my list last year and will remain on my list till it happens. There have been rumors that we will see a Hawkman book after Brightest Day wraps and if that is true I will be tremendously excited. That’s assuming the creative team gets the character and provides him a serious chance to shine.

3. Guy Gardner back with the JLI

As much as I love Guy Gardner in Emerald Warriors I can’t help but feel like JL: Generation Lost is missing two key elements. One is Martian Manhunter and the other is Guy Gardner. I think it would be easy enough to let Gardner do double duty and it would help to bolster people’s awareness of him. I don’t want to see Gardner redone as he used to be but instead I would love to see the more rounded current version butting heads with the more established Booster and the like. If the JLI can take over JLA as I hope for in my first DC wish than it would only make sense for him to be the Green Lantern of that team.

4. A Big Event

I know people complain about event fatigue but I am not one of those people. I am a big fan of a cohesive universe and these events help to provide the backdrop to such a universe. This year we really didn’t get one and sales dipped. What does this say? It says that as much as people want to complain they vote with their wallet and I’d say the people have spoken. Bring back the events!

5. New Firestorm Ongoing with Igle and Spencer

I would like to see a new Firestorm series written by Nick Spencer with Jamal Igle on art. I think this would be a brilliant combo and would provide the character with a high caliber creative team that can catapult him back into the upper echelon of the DC Pantheon. Igle has proven he can do the character brilliant justice when he was on the last iteration of the book. Spencer has proven he has a mastery of dialogue and this is an extremely important element for a book about a guy with a dude(s) in his head. This aspect of the book must be done correctly for this book to succeed and I feel Spencer can assure this happens.

Josh’s Wish List

Marvel:

1. $2.99 titles that actually matter (or make 3.99 books worth it more)

Newsflash: making some mini-series and one shots that no one will really care about (except Hawkeye: Blindspot) and won’t really matter $2.99 while all of your “headlining” titles are still 4 bucks a pop is NOT a valid way to compete with DC’s new publishing strategy. Sure, they cut page counts over there and that’ll suck balls for those creators, but do you honestly think your back-ups and random prose pieces are enough to convince me that I’m not getting screwed too? I love Bendis, I really do from the bottom of my heart, but those oral history of the Avengers things are NOT worth the extra dollar. Seriously? I have wikipedia if I actually wanna know that stuff. And the .1 program? Are you kidding me? Yeah I’m grateful for the extra issue I guess, but disguising it as a way to save money when really all you’re doing is changing the 4 bucks I would have spent on a given title into 7 is NOT saving money. Maybe most of your readership doesn’t know, or care, but I expect more from you guys.

2. Fewer Avengers Books

Honestly? As much as I love whats going on in the Avengers side of the MU these days, they seriously need to tone the hell down. Four ongoings (three of which are priced at 3.99) plus lord knows how many mini-series are just way way too much for my (and I can assume, most people’s) wallet. For my money, Secret Avengers doesn’t REALLY need to exist since, in the grand scheme of things, I’m not sure how it connects to the overall tapestry of the MU and seems to only exist to up the badass factor of the characters involved…nice, but not necessary. New Avengers and Avengers should be combined into one, possibly extra sized to accommodate the large cast, book with Bendis at the helm plus Avengers Academy bringing it on home. See? Four into two, right there.

3. More Nextwave

Ellis wants it. Immonen wants it. God knows WE want it. Ellis won’t do it without Immonen. Solution: help make Immonen prioritize it a little more by prioritizing more as a company. Yeah I know, New Avengers and the upcoming Marvel event he’s rumored to draw are “amazing opportunities” for him…but so is drawing Fin Fang Foom shoving people into his pants. Incredible Herc got an event, even Hawkeye and Mockingbird sorta got events. Why not a Nextwave event? Make it happen, fleshy ones!

4. Not letting the New X-Men Characters fade into obscurity

Much like fellow MC writer Brandon Burpee, I’m pretty friggen gaga over the crew from the former New X-Men title. As far as generations of young mutants go, they were pretty much tops in my book. Yet only Mike Carey and CB Cebulski seem to care about any of them, and even Carey let Rogue headline the book that was supposed to prominently feature the last official class of Xavier’s Academy. Even more pressing is the fact that with the introduction of Generation Hope, we now have a NEW young mutant team on the scene that seems to be getting all the love. But honestly? Rockslide makes Teon look like a pussy (sorry Kieron), Anole is a much more compelling “broody” character than Idie (sorry again), Hellion is a much better jackass than Gabriel (and again), Pixie is a better neophyte smarty pants than Laurie (and again) and Hope….okay, Hope I like. Still though, these are great characters and to see them fade into the background and relegated to anthology series and cannon fodder would be sad as hell.

5. Take more chances on lesser known characters/creators

These days, its really hard for me to get excited about Marvel investing in an ongoing starring one of my favorite lesser knowns since I honestly don’t believe that book will even be ongoing. Let’s face it: Marvel does NOT give its smaller titles as much time to breathe as DC does. They let that god awful Magog book get to ISSUE TWELVE before pulling the plug while Marvel is axing SWORD and Dr. Voodoo at issue 5. I love the current Doom Patrol book, but even I don’t know how its still being published with the numbers it’s generating (unless they’re publishing it solely for my benefit, in which case thats awesome), but rest assured if Marvel put it out it would have been cancelled a year ago, because if a book is not selling 50,000 copies by issue two, its not worth publishing, right?

DC:

1. Animal Man ongoing

This will never happen, but I can still dream that my favorite nature based character could drum up enough support for an ongoing. The all too brief story focusing on him from that largely mediocre Untold Tales of the Blackest Night thing showed a LOT of potential for him to matter in the long term within the DCU and last year’s Death of Animal Man mini-series was fantastic. I’d shudder to think what kind of stories Brian Wood or Paul Cornell could churn up for ol’ Buddy Baker, but I absolutely thing its about time he got his shot in the spotlight again.

Continued below

2. Grant Morrison Writing an Established Character That Isn’t Batman

Yes, we know, Grant loves his Batman, and DC seems to have decided to give him carte blanche with the character, but I’m unconvinced of how much innovation he really has left in the Bat-Verse. The work he’s done in revitalizing the line and making it both readable, but also relevant is nothing short of spectacular (I never would have touched a Bat-book before he came on board, and now I find myself trying to choose between Batman and Robin and Detective Comics and failing.) That said, I think its time he turns his all knowing gaze to another ailing corner of the DC Universe. I mean honestly, can you imagine what a Morrison penned Dr. Fate would read like? Or a Morrison helmed Flash (or better, a Rogues ongoing.)

3. More Ragman

I don’t care where and I don’t care how, but Rory Regan is a character that is being sorely wasted. I mean, a mystically empowered urban vigilante that gets his powers by absorbing the souls of the evil doers he defeats into his costume? He’s basically Batman, Venom and The Spectre all rolled into one delightfully morbid package. Plus, the Jew-factor doesn’t hurt my delightfully Jewish sensibilities.

4. A series focusing on a Lantern corps other than the Green one

Blackest Night, if anything, showed us how badass the other Lantern corps are (especially the Blue Lanterns), so lets see DC put its money where its mouth is and showcase them in an ongoing or semi-ongoing manner. Ideal formula? An ongoing anthology series ALA Atomic Robo or Millar’s Ultimate Avengers showcasing a different corps for five or so issues before moving on to the next. Lather. Rinse. Repeat. Throw in some top talent (Tomasi, Spencer, Carey, Morrison and I guess, okay, Johns, I’m looking at you) and you have a recipe for success

5. The long rumored Speed Force book to finally start running

This idea, to be honest, was the most exciting prospect presented in the wake of Flash: Rebirth. Yeah, having Barry back was cool, I guess, but the idea of an all speedster super team featuring Wally West, Bart Allen, Jay Garrick, the all new Impulse, Max Mercury and Jesse Quick just gets me giddy beyond belief. It’s been rumored by Johns for quite a while now and lord knows Sterling Gates isn’t up to much these days. Could be a perfect fit, DC!

Matt’s Wish List

Marvel:

1. More Marvel UK/the return of Captain Britain and MI:13

Marvel lost Paul Cornell to DC this year, and it’s one of their biggest losses as far as writers are concerned. Cornell is a fantastic writer, and one thing he really excels in doing is working with British heroes in a way that makes the UK heroes as well as their sense of humour a relevant staple (see: Knight and Squire). With the cancellation of Captain Britain, fans lost that entire section of the Marvel U, and all focus went back to heroes that were in America.

I’m not one to call foul on this type of move, but there are some GREAT UK characters in the Marvel Universe. Union Jack is a personal favorite, and I adored the Christos Gage mini. He’s exclusive now — make him write more! Or maybe it’s time to bring back Excalibur? I know you’ve tried twice in the past decade and it fell a bit flat both times, but perhaps third time is the charm. Don’t give up, Marvel! At least bring Pete Wisdom back in some capacity. Maybe he and Kitty Pryde can hang out a bit under the pen of Warren Ellis. Heck, Kieron Gillen is British and an exclusive writer! Force him to do it (even though I talked to him about this once and he said he basically didn’t have any interest at the moment to)!

If DC can still put out the new Doom Patrol title (of which I can only confirm has one reader), you guys at Marvel can give us a new MI:13 title.

Continued below

2. Seriously — The Twelve? Let’s finish it.

I had this on my list last year, and it needs to make it’s return. I understand that JMS has personal health issues at the moment, but the Twelve has taken a back burner for long enough. DC gave JMS’ books to other writers, and so can you. Heck, Chris Weston (artist of the Twelve) wrote and drew a fantastic one-shot for all the characters — let him write it. Just tell him to follow JMS’ scripts. I know there have been talks that the book is getting ready to come back, but I want to see it.

If you want, I’ll come in and write it. I can’t promise any talent in the art department, but I’ll do my best!

3. Transform Icon into Marvel’s Vertigo

As it is right now, Icon could seriously take the comic community by storm. Criminal and Incognito, Powers and Scarlet, Casanova — these are all fantastic titles. You even have one of the world’s biggest selling comic authors (Mark Millar) getting ready to put out a new book on Icon almost every other month. But you could do so much more with the imprint.

Vertigo is — without a doubt — the best imprint any company has. The books it has at the moment represent some of the finest comics the medium has to offer for the general public who wants nothing to do with capes and tights. Offer a true challenge! Icon exists for creator owned work , so let’s buff it up. Marvel has a slew of talented creators in their arsenal. I’m sure Hickman has an idea or two he could work with. Perhaps you could give Gillen and McKelvie some money for Phonogram 3 (that and whatever else they need)? I would love to see less mini’s and more ongoings from creators starring all new original characters. Put that opportunity out there! Open your doors and boost Icon up. The potential is there — just let the world start getting at it.

4. Let’s take that finger off the cancel button, ok?

I don’t want to bring up Thor: The Mighty Avenger, because I’ll be truthful — I’m not enamored with it like some people are. I’ve read every issue (to be honest, after the cancellation was announced and everyone threw their arms up in the air) and I can understand why it was cancelled in a world FULL of Thor books at the moment.

However, I was looking at books I don’t regularly read last week and flipped through Deadpool MAX. Let’s be honest here, Marvel. I get that Deadpool makes money, and what is profitable is what will be stay. But you are publishing Deadpool MAX, one of the worst books I’ve ever seen both from a written perspective and a visual. I am always in the Marvel corner trying to explain to other fans why I think Marvel is taking the actions it does, but when Deadpool MAX #1 made it to stands and Thor: The Mighty Avenger can’t survive when it’s target audience is children, perhaps we need to just think for a second here. Maybe Thor: The Mighty Avenger could’ve simply been rebranded to make it more obvious that it’s an all ages book geared towards new fans of Thor at a younger age? That Marvel Adventures banner you have would certainly work for this, and while it might initially put older fans off, certainly word of mouth can help?

I understand the business side of what happens at Marvel, so I’m not complaining too hard about this, but come on — quality over quantity. That’s what will really help the company in the long run.

5. More enforcing of deadlines

This is something that has often bothered me about comic books. A while ago on Tom Brevoort’s formspring account, I asked him the following paraphrased question: when I’m at my non MC-related job, if I did something wrong and miss a deadline, I would get in a lot of trouble for it (perhaps even to the point of losing my job). I don’t understand why these rules don’t apply for comic creators, and why — if there is a comic author or artist who becomes notorious for late work — the job doesn’t get given to someone else who can meet the deadlines. Brevoort’s reply was an honest and understandable one. He said (again, paraphrasing) that comics are an entertainment based medium and because of that, the rules are not the same as that of a simple office job. The writers and artists represent entertainment talent, and while there are “unseen repercussions”, they aren’t going to deny someone work if they know it’s a good decision business-wise since ultimately, fans will wait for the work of their favorite writers and artists.

Continued below

Ok. I get that, 100%. But still, a nice visible kick in the crotch wouldn’t hurt in between all those issues of Nemesis, Superior, and Kick-Ass 2: Balls to the Wall. To name a few.

DC:

1. More focus put towards editing

Let’s be honest — this year was a pretty bad year for DC. They put out a lot of bad comics much to fan chagrin, and they also put out a lot of comics with legitimate grammar issues as well as very visual goofs (such as the image from Flash posted here). We as fans can be snarky, and when we catch stuff like this we have to shout it to the rooftops. The editing process is an all-too important one, but it seems the forums are full of fodder to yell about. Don’t let that happen. Catch these mistakes! If your fans can catch it, I can’t understand why you can’t.

As a last resort, hire us. If Apple will hire the first people to hack their products, you could probably do with contacting a few die-hard fans for help in the editing room.

2. Make All-Star your Ultimate this year

All things considered, you guys didn’t do much with the whole Earth-1 idea. One book out of a rumored two that arrived past when we all expected it to be out doesn’t exactly cut it, especially when it’s so … well, short. All-Star Superman is a definitive Superman story that I can give to anyone and teach them how to fall in love with the character. Superman – Earth-1? Not so much.

The All-Star universe is one that, for all intents and purposes, could be the equivalent to Marvel’s Ultimate line. Brand new stories retelling the origins of characters and letting them have any kind of characterization. An All-Star Wonder Woman book could certainly make fans happy in the wake of the current Wonder Woman book, and I’m sure an All-Star Flash, Aquaman, and/or Green Lantern couldn’t hurt. Right now DC is so focused on telling new stories with old characters and saying, “Look, go find this trade and use it to catch up.” Instead of doing that, it might be wise to really give new fans a place to begin with these characters and let them grow into the regular stories. It worked well for Marvel. I can’t see this formula not working well for you.

3. We get it — you like Batman!

I had a similar write-up on last year’s list, but the general thought remains the same: Batman needs to be put in his place. Really, Batman needs to be put in a place. I am legitimately unsure where the “main” Batman storyline is anymore (although I’m assuming it’s Batman Inc.). You met me halfway by bringing Bruce Wayne back as someone who isn’t grim 24/7 and I’m happy about that, but still — we don’t need all these books. Batman, Detective Comics, The Dark Knight, Batman and Robin, Batman Inc. to name a few on-goings, and I don’t even know how many minis and limited stories there are at this point.

How Batman: Orphans made it to shelves is beyond me, but that comic was the tipping point that ultimately made me feel like I couldn’t include DC in my Best Publisher list this year. How about we tone it down a bit, ok? Bruce and Dick only really need one title each.

4. I’m still waiting for Multiversity

I know Grant is busy with all the Batman stuff, but I think it’s time he takes a break. I want to see these rumored issues from Cameron Stewart and Frank Quitely, Pax Americana and all that Shazam goodness. We’re going on two years now since this was announced.

The site is called Multiversity Comics. Can you tell I was excited for this book when it first came out? So let’s do this, DC.

5. More enforcing of deadlines

This is really the same as what I wrote for Marvel, with the major difference being that I didn’t ask anyone at DC how they handle something like this. The point remains the same: as much as I love Grant Morrison’s writing, the improper release of the ending to Batman and Robin/the Return of Bruce Wayne was pretty crazy, and I do believe we’re all owed one more issue of Joe the Barbarian. Heck, even Green Lantern has suffered a delayed, and don’t get me started on the Flash. Both are books I really love, but the delays are sincerely hurting my interest in the stories. I’m actually fairly skeptical that the Flashpoint deadline will be met. I know Geoff Johns is busy, and I sympathize… but I’m also impatient some days.

Continued below

I see that you’re replacing writers faster now to keep up the pace (such as with Superman, Wonder Woman, and Supergirl), and that’s a good start. Now let’s just make sure to give Grant and Geoff the ol’ kick in the rear every now and then, yes?

Gil’s Wish List

Marvel:

1. A $2.99 Price Point Across The Board

If there’s one thing DC did right, it was the abandoning of the $3.99 price point. IT was met with praise from the blogosphere and everyone’s wallet to boot. Sure we lost a few back ups and pages were lessened, but these were actually great ways to make deadlines and cut back on some unnecessary content. But Marvel refuses to go along with DC, continuing their $3.99 Price point for all existing books, and only instituting the lower price on new books. Well, it’s not good enough in my opinion, and until then, the books on my chopping block are the pricier books that aren’t worth it. And to be honest, it’s a lot of them.

2. A better artist on Uncanny X-Men

This has been a long time coming. Uncanny X-Men is one of the marquee books on the Marvel roster of books. But the disappointing thing about the book is the art. We’re subjected to not only Greg Land, whose art used to be good, but now is simply tracing (note, I don’t mind photo-referencing, but outright tracing of WWE superstars and Porn Stars isn’t only distracting, it’s ugly.). But even worse, when he’s not available, we get Whilce Portacio? Think about what I just said about Land. Now imagine my shock when I saw him back on the book and I was RELIEVED. Get it together, Marvel. PLEASE.

3. Return of SWORD

I’ve gone on and on and on about this enough. I’d even pay the $3.99 price tag on a book if there was a SWORD Backup in an X-Men title! Come on Marvel. Gimme Gimme Gimme!

4. A major culling of oversaturated heroes

Go to your local Comic Book Shop. Look at all the Avengers titles. Look at all the Wolverine titles. Look at all the X-Men titles. Worse yet, look at Deadpool or Thor! While I never thought I’d say Thor was oversaturated in the market, I do blame the oversaturation for the demise of The Mighty Avenger. If there was less focus on MORE MORE MORE and more appreciation for BETTER BETTER BETTER, we wouldn’t NEED multiple titles to sell more of a particular title. Plus, who wants to read The Best There Is. S&M Wolverine? Yeuch.

DC:

1. A Legion Ring

This is the one thing I don’t follow about DC. First they did a special giveaway with Green Lantern Rings. Then Black Lantern Rings. Then they released the rest of the Emotional Spectrum Rings during Blackest Night, and finally the White Lantern Rings with Brightest Day. They even gave away Flash Rings with the relaunch of the Flash title! And while I appreciated these a lot, and I own them all, there’s a glaring oversight. Where is my Legion Flight Ring? There have been two relaunches in the past year or so, so why not give us the full collection of DC Rings!

2. A Big 7 JLA

Bruce is back. Arthur is back. J’onn is back. Wondy is alive if not missing. What I’m saying is that. I love the big guns teaming up to fight the biggest threats in the DCU. Would you have the Avengers without Thor, Iron Man, or Captain America? Well, let me rephrase that, would you REALLY want to? Not me. Even If it’s an All-Star JLA or a JLA Earth-One, I’ll take it.

3. Secret Identities

This one has bothered me for months now. I’m a BIG fan of Green Lantern and Superman, do not get me wrong. But what happened to Hal Jordan and Clark Kent? It’s like they don’t even exist anymore. But to be honest, it didn’t REALLY bother me until recently, when Hal was being overprotective of Carol. Carol sneered, “why don’t you go back to your girlfriend?!” I was taken aback. This was issue 56 I believe, and it had been nearly 40 issues since there had been even a mention of Hal’s girlfriend. Where was she? Has he bothered calling her to see how she’s doing with all this mayhem? Probably, but we don’t know. And with Superman, it’s like he gave up on being a human when he was trying to connect with them! What gives? If you want an idea of how a superhero balances out his life, look at The Amazing Spider-Man. Sure, he has to suit up, but you still get Peter’s life, as bad as it may be. It grounds the character and makes him more relatable.

Continued below

Plus, I like Clark and Hal. Bring them back!

4. A Fourth World Mini

Maybe this will inspire a Fund It! For Walt, but I would LOVE to see a New Gods Mini with their exploits Post-Crisis-Crisis…Crisis? Anyway, more importantly, I want to see someone like Paul Cornell, known for his Sci-Fi work, to tell the story of the New Gods, from Orion to Darkseid to the Highfather to Kalibak. They’ve been retired, but imagine someone like Dale Eaglesham or Mike Allred drawing something like this? I’m all atwitter just thinking about it!

Marvel AND DC:

5.More Crossovers

I loved JLA/Avengers, and some of my favorite titles are the ones that feature not only Superman and Batman, but Superman and Batman teaming up or beating the snot out of Captain America and Spider-Man. Hell, they can beat the snot out of Batman too if they want (Superman though? Let’s not get crazy…)! I just want there to be a JLA/Avengers 2, or possibly an Iron Man/Green Lantern; maybe that Batman/Daredevil that Bendis is itching to write. Petty squabbling seems to be preventing this, which is just a damn shame.
