Solo careers

Death's Head · 03-26-2007, 01:53 PM

What comic book character do you feel deserves his or her own series?

I can tell you that Marvel's version of Odin deserves one. Come on, he's a badass. He never made the mistakes Thor did, and he possessed an intimidating and intelligent nature to him. Asgard was a decent place when he was the ruler, indeed. Plus, the mythological Odin inspired Gandalf. Nuff' said. As a bonus, Marvel's depiction is bulkier, and occasionally wears shiny armor.
I'd like to see the trials and adventures he had to undergo prior to becoming a warrior-king. I'm aware of his great power, but keep in mind DC's Spectre had a series, and he far outranks Odin in terms of power. I hope they go for it.

Well, they need to resurect Odin first. He's been dead longer than Thor, so it's about time for a revival.

The only character I can think of that would be interesting in a solo series would be the Sentry. He needs to being going up against worthy opponents, and more of his adventures need to be shown.

Talk about misrepresentation!

Here I am thinking there's going to be a listing of possible smugglers jobs here with maybe a posting for up coming conventions where Han is giving lectures on elluding Imperial forces or helpful classes on wise use of your storage space.

But noooOOooooOOOOooooo

Cyclops. I don't care how many people hate him, if the X francise is that big we can afford to have an solo ongoing that isn't Wolverine.

Being a huge Riddler fan, I wouldnt mind seeing him in a solo comic series, but I know it would never fly. I suppose I can dream.

I think the one who stands a shot at a solo career would be Cyclops, the X-Men series has always been popular, and I'm suprised it hasnt been done considering the Wolverine series.

Spawn Guy · 03-28-2007, 09:58 AM

Heh, yeah, a Riddler series. They could play it like The Shocker: Legit.

What goom-bi-yaa wouldn't like Cyclops?

I've always liked Marvel's D-Man (or Demolition Man), the scruffy, smelly, super-strong, F-list Avenger. I remember first seeing him in the Heroes Reborn storyline, slumped against a couch in the mansion eating a sandwich while the other Avengers asked who he was and complained about the stink.

There's pretty much no chance that he'd get a series, but if he did, I'd read it.

I would prefer to see a story about a hero who makes mistakes or has flaws rather than just some badass that doesn't mess up. Although showing his earlier years is a good idea.

I'd like to see Gambit come back in his own series. The recent one finally started finding its feet and then it got cancelled. But things should be interesting now he's all changed and isn't just defined by his relationship to Rogue.

Man i feel bad for Cyclops. I don't get why ppl hate him so much. He may not be my fav, but hes still pretty frickin cool. Frankly i'm getting a little sick of Wolverine. So i vote for anyone thats not Wolverine to get a solo series. Well thats a lot of characters so i'll just vote for Cyclops.

I would pick up a solo Shadowcat series (I have the Mekanix trade).

MadPirateBunny · 05-13-2007, 10:03 PM

Seriously. Who hates Gambit?

Not me!

Chase · 05-13-2007, 11:56 PM

No one could ever hate Gambit.

Spawn Guy · 05-14-2007, 04:28 PM

Care to put money on that?

Ok, not hate exactly, but still I could do without him.

Chase · 05-16-2007, 08:48 PM

unfortunately i have no money so no i can't.

ok so i guess its possible that some where out there there is a person that might actually hate Gambit. There i said it. Its possible to hate Gambit. Are you happy now. My entire world has been turned upside down and inside out. All is lost!!! well no not really. everything is pretty much the same as it was. Lalalala.
