Say what you want about Joe Quesada...

At least the dude respects the Turtles! From this week's Cup of Joe QnA:

Patches wants to know:
Joe, if you could create the "Perfect Comic Universe" and had your choice of every comic character ever created (from Marvel, DC, Image, Dark Horse, etc), what would you do, given that PCU power?

JQ: Patches, wow…that's a wild question! I'm assuming that you're talking about creating a unified universe, which is really the tough part. Because in my perfect world, I'd find a way to have a universe in which Spider-Man could exist along with Preacher. I'm big on diversity and love all sorts of different characters and genres, so my PCU would be a very mixed bag. I wish this was the only question I was answering today because I'd really put a lot more thought into it.

The simple math would be to take some Marvel mainstays and then add Batman to the mix. The Rocketeer would exist in my PCU and Sin City would be one of the locales for some of the stories. Maybe get rid of Batman's Gotham and put Bats, Grendel, The Crow, Daredevil and Moon Knight in as its resident heroes. You could also tell the story of Howard Chaykin's Black Kiss within Sin City. I'd also love to see a locale where X-O Manowar lived alongside Iron Man and Deathlok, and perhaps American Flagg.

If you go back in time in my PCU, you'd find the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and in its future you'd find the world of Skreemer.

I'd mix in some Gen13 from back in its heyday as well as have alternate dimensions in which the Mutant Ninja Turtles live alongside The Mask and Madman and Bone.

Wow, I could go on and on, but we have more questions to answer. Hopefully that gives you some idea.
