My Entitlement is Overflowing

Yes, it's all about me. As I explained in my posts about loving AND hating comics so much, I can forgive quite a bit in the pursuit of my weekly fix. As much as bad and lazy writing and miserable artwork can infuriate me, I am addicted...and will go to ridiculous lengths to feed that addiction. I also tend to follow my favorite characters, which is why I bought that Gawdawful Howard Chaykin two-parter because it was about Guy Gardner. Heck, if Rob Liefeld wrote and drew a six-part mini-series about the Green Lanterns, I'd buy it. I'd undoubtedly hate it...but I'd buy it.

But nevertheless, I was thinking about some of the things that I would REALLY like to see in my comics.

I'd LOVE to see a Fire and Ice mini-series. They are two of my favorite characters, and they just don't get enough attention. Fortunately, they are going to be in the upcoming Justice League revival, but still. And I would love to have a story written from Tora's viewpoint. I don't think that I've EVER read a story that was presented from her point of view, and I want to. Same thing with Beatriz.

I would love to have Bruce Wayne and Guy Gardner compare childhoods. Yes, Bruce's parents ARE DEAD! But he also had the advantage of being a much beloved and pampered only child, he had Alfred devoted to him, and he had bucketloads of money to help indulge his every whim. I'd love to see Guy tell him how spoiled he was, and to grow up already. Haw!

I want Ted Kord back. He doesn't even have to be Blue Beetle, because Jaime is doing that quite well. But it would be awfully nice for him to be able to hang out with Oracle and to build things for the Birds of Prey, or the Justice League or the Justice Society, and to keep poor Booster company.

For that matter I want Max Lord back. NOT crazy. The REAL Max. It would be awfully easy to do really. Just have him wander in from Kooey Kooey Kooey, or explain that the bad Max was really a robot or something. Superboy punched reality. Final Crisis did it. I don't CARE, I just want Max.

Figure out a way to revive the Dibny's while we are at it. Hell, ALL the dead Leaguers. You can't tell stories about dead people...at least not easily.

A Shade mini-series would be nice. It would give Robinson something to do, and he's awfully good with Opal and the Shade.

Another mini-series with the Rogues would also be nice. I like the Rogues. I like a good villain it seems,since Secret Six is also one of my favorite books.

Have the Green Lanterns sitting around drinking beer at the new bar instead of going around getting blown up all of the time. A little downtime would be appreciated. Tell us what their favorite drinks are. I 'll bet that Sodam Yat likes the Daxam equivalent of Cosmopolitans.

What stories would YOU all like to have?
