Just because its’ always fun to hear/see everyone’s thoughts, what are some dream collaborations/collaborators you would like to see? Some of mine -

Darwyn Cooke/John Buscema - Modesty Blaise (Art duties can shuffle between the two)

Stan Lee/Alex Toth - Spider-Man

Roger Stern/John Romita Jr. - Avengers

Kyle Baker/Jason Pearson - Black Panther (Art duties can shuffle between the two)

Roger Stern/John Byrne - Justice League. It happened, but I would like to see it again (^_^)

Paul Dini/Alex Toth/John Romita Sr. - The Spirit or The Black Widow (Art duties can shuffle)

Walter Simonson/Mike Mignola- Thor (Art duties can shuffle between the two)

Dwayne McDuffie/Bruce Timm - X-Men

Bill Mantlo/Arthur Adams -The Defenders

Matt Wagner/Bruce Timm/Sandford Greene/Jason Pearson - Daredevil (Art duties can shuffle)

Since Marvel poo-pooed my dream of Walt and JB on Thor, how about a
Walt/Byrne issue or two of RAGNAROK.

I wasn't aware of the potential Simonson/Byrne,Thor collaboration. That would have been great.

It would have been sweet if JB had stayed on as writer of FF and been joined by John Romita Jr as artist, as I understand was being mooted at one point. I know I would still have been disappointed that JB was no longer doing the art but JR JR would have been one hell of a 'consolation prize'! At least we got to see them collaborate on 'Iron Man' a few years later for a short but oh so sweet run!

Also, I am not a violent person, but if I was ever put in front of the numbskull who said 'no' to the Simonson & Byrne collaboration on 'Thor', I think it would take a superhuman amount of willpower on my part to refrain from giving them a slap!

Random thought - If I had to pick an Image artist for JB to work with, I'd pick Mark Silvestri. He's the one out of the founders that had serious storytelling chops.
