Comics that you wished that existed?

Post by ian_house »

Got this idea from the topic 'Comics you probably don't know exist' as I noticed there was a great deal of comics based on famous people. Who would you want to see get a comic of their own and what genre of comic would it be.

Personally I'd love to see a Bill Hicks biography with surreal art work (like Seth Fischer's artwork in that Green Lantern stuff he did, although obviously he couldn't do it now)

Yes.

I would also like a Gilly and Aram history comics. I loved the first few pages of the early EW comics.

Think the points kinda been missed here. Non-Valiant, real life famous people was the idea... Unless Shadowman, Gilly and Aram were all real... now theres a thought

Not really real people (technically), but I'd love to see a comic starring famous TV characters - sort of like Crisis on Infinite Earths - where all these characters have to team up to stop some menace threatening their universe. So for example, part of the book might have Frasier, Gilligan, and the Fonz joining forces against Endora, Newman, and the pedophile bike shop owner from Diff'rent Strokes.

Now the Cheney files... that would be a huge seller! Possibly followed by a Condoleza Rice comic in the style of Black Panther? And a comedy of errors George Bush comic?

I think Priest on the Condoleeza Rice book. Or Ennis as a mature readers title - "you get to hear what Condoleeza Rice really thinks".

What about a Giffen/Dematteis/Maguire take on the Bush Presidency - a parody of the West Wing?

'Getting Away With It' - a DC/Marvel crossover starring Dan Didio and Joe Quesada (the two one shots could be under that umbrella title: Didio in Getting Away With It - Didio's Big Score; Quesada in Getting Away With It - They Call Me Joey Q! ).

Transformers: Crisis on Infinite Cybertrons a 12 issue maxi-series
that condenses all the various Transformers realities into one stable Transformer Universe, or a Transformers/JLA crossover.

A comic book series based on the Jade Empire and Mass Effect video games from BioWarewould be cool if done right.

I want a book that uses these two illustrations as covers...

That's all.

Oh, and if they could keep the artist/inker from these on the entire book... even better. :thumb:

More treasury-sized Marvel DC team-ups during the early 80's. While I'm at it, I wouldn't mind to see the original Justice League/Avengers and a planned second X-Men/New Teen Titans that was supposed to come out but was pulled after the before mentioned JLA Avengers fiasco.

A comic book version of the TV show Twin Peaks, maybe one continuing on from where the TV show left off.
