Step 1:
Fire Bendis from Avengers. HIre a writer that really respects the history of the Avengers and leave Copiel where he is.

Step 2:
Take proposals for a new Champions and a new Defenders series.

Step 3:
Do whatever it takes to keep Whedon on the XMen.

What would you do?

Hire you to do those three things smile

In addition to your three, I’d try some of the following:

-Hire someone to beat JMS in the face for disrespecting Gwen Stacy so badly in the latest ASM issues and then retcon that all away. Limit Spidey to three books and make them all good.

-Cancel every X-Men title besides Whedon’s and Claremont’s and New X-Men and demand a list of reasons why any others should continue to be published.

-Start a new Thor comic with a writer who knows how to make a super-powerful interesting without making him an idiot, a cry-baby or constantly have him depowered.

-Wolverine limited to one X-Men book (Whedon’s) and his own comic.

-Any cosmic/galactic comic books (Silver Surfer, Warlock, Guardians of the Galaxy) will actually be cosmic/galactic.

-Promote She-Hulk more

- Fire Joe Q or his big ego...

-echo the same thought on Avengers, that is a lame reasoning and very shaky train of thought there

- don't release any mini or limted series and then stop b/c your to busy to finish it and promise it later..

I'd want more kewl, different X-stuff like X-STATIX and less of the run-of-the-mill stuff that seems to have flooded out the X-MEN section at my CBS. Mystique, Emma Frost, Nightcrawler, Rogue, New X-Men, Uncanny X-Men, Old X-Men, XYZ Men, Wolverine in EVERY series, blah blah blah.

It's crap. The only X-books I'm still getting are EXILES and Austen's X-MEN. I rather like his take on the charcters.

Can somebody whack Lash for me for slagging NXAX? I can't reach him from here.

Uncanny and New X-Men are great, #1 reads in my book with the Legion gone now...but I could gladly leave the rest on Lash's list.

And I realized driving home the other day from the CBS that I really, really miss X-Statix now. I wonder where things would have gone.

Let's get Danny as EIC as quickly as possible! All his ideas (and Cobie's and the rest) sound perfect!

Cobie, I don't follow Spider-Man anymore. I even dropped the Ultimate Spidey title. So what have they done to Gwen now? Can't they just let her memory be? I haven't really followed the Spider titles since the clone fiasco. Truthfully I'm not even sure what the status of Peter is after the clones.

I can't bring myself to tell you.

I haven't followed the main Spidey titles in forever and even I was appalled.

JMS retconned in that she had twins. By Norman "Green Goblin" Osborn.

Have to agree on Avengers. What were they thinking?!

Young Avengers on the other hand may be good.

I'd hire Jim Shooter as EIC and tell him to regulate these high paid creators. Heck Jim probably will draft 5 high school kids to write all the books for 10K a year each...and it will be the best books around! wink

(i am being serious)

i'd wipe out 1/2 the X-drek flying out of their offices

and insist on NOT HIRING the same creative team on titles from 10 years ago

(they moved on, the audiences moved on, let's all move on)
