Looking back at all the commissions you've done over these last few years JB, one of the things I've most enjoyed about them is the inking. When the character or object calls for it you lay down these great lines showing grittiness and texture. This inking style would work so well in a war comic, and I can see you really shining with the Invaders in WW2 combat scenarios.I imagine a Kubert-style of war comic, like Sgt. Rock.

My first choice, though, would have to be the Black Panther. Your depiction of him early in your FF run has stayed with me to this day. Your knack for drawing imaginative machinery would get a workout, what with all the futuristic Wakandan technology, and having the Panther also bouncing around New York would play to another one of your strengths - cityscapes. Your version of the Black Panther would leap off the pages in a comic like this.

Doctor Strange

- A good fit in that you haven't done a lot of weird or bizarre stuff. There's a little Ditko living in you, too.

Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD

- Not a big fan of Fury myself. I just liked it when Steranko was doing it. Probably would buy if you did a lot of messing around with graphic art techniques.

The Invaders (WW2)

- Perfect fit I should think.

Guardians of the Galaxy

- These guys bored me.

Black Panther (bouncing between NY and Wakanda)

- You'd have to whip up some interesting villains.

Ka-Zar (in New York)

- This guy bored me.

The Black Fox (a cheat, I know, but I have not done him in his own title)

- I like how you handle your own characters.

PS Heard a rumer Jeph Loeb might be stepping up as EIC at Marvel. We might actually get some of this action.

Just the fact that you made a thread like this, JB, is incredibly exciting!  Granted, I realize it has a hypothetical theme, but recently there seems to be a shift towards optimism in your recent posts.  You even spelled out MARVEL!  How can we help heal old wounds, encourage you in thinking you could make a significant shift in current comic trends at Marvel, and generally make this happen? :-)
