This is a tough one, but if i were to choose, it would be DC's AMYTHYST: PRINCESS OF GEMWORLD. Of course, I'd want to see the comic go in a weirder direction then the original series. My suggestion would be to bring back the original teenage Amy Wilson persona, & have her fight the evil Amethyst who appeared in Keith Giffen's shortlived BOOK OF FATE series. I like the idea of Amy, in effect, having to stop herself, or an older version of herself, who has gone bad.

Englehart/Conway-era-style JLA. The big guns, and enough smaller members to be interesting, facing global threats and complex villainous schemes. And, most importantly, no burden of adhering to this year's editorial whim or being limited in use of the big guns by what their home editors have to say.

I.e., if you have to kick Dwayne McDuffie off JLA because he mouths off about how much interference from other editors has scuttled his ability to write the book, you're doing something wrong.

Wow-- as I think about the question, I realize that I don't think I'd trust either of them to give them a name. I'd wait for the call from the animation division instead. :-)

At which point I'd arrange for a Supergirl animated series aimed at the tween demographic, possibly based on the recent Cosmic Adventures in the Eighth Grade mini. (For the love of Rao, girls are spending nigh-unlimited obsessive attention on a character who switches between blond-haired superstar and brunette secret ID who can't fly.)

Hire Priest and McDuffie to edit Batman and Superman.

Actually, I have long thought the main problem with Marvel and DC is a lack of confidence in their characters. They can't jut leave Batman or Spiderman alone and tell stories about them. They have to gimmick them up. I've alway thought that say the Flash was best when Cary Bates was writing it was about a guy who could run real fast and had complete control of his body's molecules beating the crap out of Captain Cold or Gorilla Grood...forgive me, Supergorilla Grodd. Or Marvel. They complain about Dr. Strange being too powerful, but Roger Stern and Peter Gillis alway managed to tell a good yarn about a wizard fighting bad guys.

Anyway, if I had to bring back a marvel character it would be Cypher.

If I had to bring back a DC character, I would tell Didio to bring back the Fawcett characters as a separate imprint.

The current Shazam Cap is a poor man' Superman. The Fawcett Billy was a better character than the current Superman. The characters were badass.

Michael, I love your idea for a cartoon based on SUPERGIRL: COSMIC ADVENTURES IN THE 8th GRADE, but I'd also add BILLY BATSON & THE MAGIC OF SHAZAM as another comic that would make a great cartoon. Speaking of the Marvel Family, Mike is right about the Fawcett heroes needing their own imprint, though i did hear the Big Red Cheese's Earth will be back in Morrison's new multiverse mini as Thunderworld. Plus, while I'm a huge Superman fan, I will agree that Billy's just a poor man's Superman in the mainline DCU, & he deserves better then that.

The Defenders, written by Fred van Lente with art from Gene Ha.

William, I like that idea. Van Lente's Modok mini had a very Defenders-esque vibe to it, and Gene Ha seems to have just the right combination of mainstream appeal and quirkiness.

I'd love to see a comic that dealt with science in an interesting and intelligent way -- putting Mark Waid in charge of "The Atom," for example.

I love comics that deal with moral, ethical and philosophical issues in a realistic setting. So I'd love to see Ann Nocenti or Bill Messner-Loebs on "Green Arrow." (I wouldn't mind seeing Messner-Loebs on the Hulk, either, as he'd do a great job playing up the supporting cast and re-establishing the character of Bruce Banner).

And as long as I'm trotting out my wish list, I'd love to see what someone like Ed Brubaker would do with Marvel's "Nth Man: The Ultimate Ninja."
