Cary Bates, Elliot S! Maggin, Chuck Dixon and the great Denny O’Neil on just about anything at DC right NOW!!!

I mean, a few years ago I woulda said “Bendis” with no hope it’s be a reality, but life truly can be stranger than fiction!

I would be interested in a Jason Aaron on a Batman/Bat-Family title. Or Donny Cates on Teen Titans. Or Dan Slott on Superman.

I always longed for a year-long swap of Marvel and DC writers/artists, all out of continuity, just let them do “their” story and then be out. No chance of course, but my fanboy heart can dream

I think I would sooner put Aaron on a Superman title – his take on Thor kind of reminded me of “what if Superman was a reformed frat douchebag.” Could be interesting to see how he would portray the Man of Steel.

But keep Dan Slott away from…pretty much every character, really. After his abysmal Spider-Man, I pretty much avoid anything he touches.

Chuck Wendig is currently my favorite working author, comic books and otherwise. I’d love to see him do a batwoman, spoiler etc. run.

I thought about Aaron on Superman because his Thor run was magnificent, but I thought I’d like to see him take a “grounded” character for a bit and play around with it.

I really enjoyed Slott’s run on Spider-Man, but can totally understand where people could have not taken to it. I do think that his love for the characters comes through and I dig that

I’d love to see Greg Rucka come back, I think he could handle a Black Label Batwoman story like no ones business.

Matt Wagner on anything he wants to write
Kevin Smith on a Green Arrow/Supergirl team-up

[Left side-mouth]I think Mr_Morbach should write for DC Comics!
[Right Side-mouth] Yeah, that’s a great idea!

Guys, stop, you’re embarrassing me!

I’d love to see Charles Soule come back and have his own run of Swamp Thing that he could start and finish.

Jay_Kay · November 7, 2019, 1:57am

Rucka is already back, he’s been writing a Lois Lane maxi-series.

That said, I certainly wouldn’t say no to more of him writing Kate.

Corvinus.11311 · November 7, 2019, 3:22am

That’s awesome, didn’t realize. I’d ask if it’s good, but it’s Rucka, so I’m sure the answer is yes. The man is pretty great. Every time a new issue of Lazarus drops it makes my week.

cramzilla · November 7, 2019, 4:24am

chip zdarsky! I would love too see him do a run on lobo, or maybe blue beetle

foodini · November 7, 2019, 10:51am

Stephen King

KingXcel · November 7, 2019, 2:30pm

Ta-Nehisi Coates on Cyborg or Black Lightning

I like this pick. But then I looked up what he has been doing lately, and now I really want them to hire him.

McEddard · November 9, 2019, 3:48am

I had no idea about Messner-Loebs situation, it’s tragic. DC should step up and give him some work.
