Discussion Question Wednesday! #5: Designs/plots by favorite author/artist

Discussion Question Wednesday!


It's that time again to discuss all the things that need to be discussed.  With all the recent issues going on about certain writers, let's go for something more positive.


What would a Cap-IM comic/movie written by your favorite author be like?  Or alternately, a costume/armor by designed by your favorite artist?


We all know which authors/artists we currently hate.  But think about what would happen if your favorite author or artist got a hold of our favorite characters.  What amazing things would come out of it?

Discussion Question Wednesday is going to run every other week. Anonymous comments are welcome.

Hm. I would probably go with the Foglios as Authors, but perhaps not artists, as their comic style doesn't really go with the Avengers.

I say this mainly because the Foglios seem like amazing world builders with an eye on continuity. Their arcs tend to be really long, a couple months in reality being hours, usually, but I'm not sure if that would be a good thing or a bad thing. But I think a sense of continuity/sane good writing is what I would want most from them and what they would have to contribute most.

That being said, there's still a plot bunny in my head about Tony Stark being a Spark and/or Agatha Heterodyne being dumped into 616/MCU :P

Fun times aside, they also have an epic sense of scale in terms of their writing, and another wonderful event for the Marvel Universe, like Civil War, would always be welcome.

Besides, they love posting beefcake, and I want to see more of Tony and Steve sans clothes. Plus, I'm sure they'd have no problems teasing out the UST between Tony and Steve to unheard of proportions.

Not exactly on topic, but I hope you've seen this - if not, you'll probably like it :)

Seconding CLAMP because it would be crazy and probably involve soulmates across the multiverse and someone losing an eye. >.>

Looking forward to it then. :D

Hm. Well. One of my favourite authors already wrote Iron Man. That's Warren Ellis - and Extremis happened and was part of getting me into Iron Man ;) So that's not a good answer, so here's another one.

Roger Zelazny. One of my all-time favourite authors of fiction of any kind. Sadly, he's also dead, which complicates matters, but let's not dwell on realities ;) I think he would write a wicked Tony; he had a talent for planners, schemers, for the slightly (and sometimes very) anti-heroic hero. Which also means he'd be crap at writing Steve, at least as a main character. But as a supporting cast I think he would have done all right with him as well. I bet we would get a great story, told in measured language, with layers of stuff to unravel gradually.

And now I'm of course thinking of other writers and what they would be like.

I figured, but still felt like it was worth mentioning. Still, in a perfect world he'd definitely still be around - and have updated his writing too :)

Still thinking about it, but nothing had come to mind since. Sounds rather boring of me, doesn't it? ;)

But then Ellis wrote Endless Wartime, and it was all kinds of nope.

Well, I haven't read that one - I heed others' warnings ;) - so I'm blissfully ignorant so far. But there's got to be duds, I guess. I mean, I like everything ELSE I've ever read by him.

Well, Hickman is writing a stevetony comic right now, I'd like him to continue. But just imagine Pichelli doing art.

I really don't need more JMS feels.
