If you could write for the Big 2, would you? Would you want a specific character/team or would you try and make your OC a thing and hope they stick (and collect those sweet royalty checks)?
If you could write for the Big 2, would you...
Personally I would want to reinvigorate characters maybe with some changes
One idea I had was to essentially make Genius Jones into DC’s answer to Detective Conan.
>If you could write for the Big 2, would you?
No.
I'd want to write mostly DC but moonlight at Marvel for What Ifs or Minis.
I want to write Detective Comics with Declan Shalvey to work with for art and Jordie Bellaire for colors
And a new Gotham Central book centered on Barbara and Tim going legit and being cops leading to them becoming Detectives
Superman for at least a few issues I have idea for interesting villains and foils and I'd bring back kid Jon if possible.
I have ideas for a Question centered team book called The Question Agency. Featuring both Vic, Renee, and other team members Detective Chimp and Cass/Orphan/Batgirl whatever editorial would let me have her as. Babs wouldn't be Batgirl at this time.
And an elseworld/imprint miniline for my OC-verse featuring the team "The Mighty Misfits" composed of characters made by my high school friends and I playing superhero tabletop rpgs living in a world of shameless parody and pastiche
I'd want to write
>Martian Manhunter
John Jones is a police detective in a small Colorado town that seems to attract weird. When he comes across cases that appear to have a paranormal slant, he switches to his true form to solve them in secret as the Martian Manhunter. Kinda like X-Files, but the detective is also an alien.
Series also deals with J'onn J'onzz's alienation and isolation. He likes humans, but fears opening up. Being from a telepathic race that was constantly connected through a universal "voice," he feels cut off and lonely amongst a species he can never truly communicate all his thoughts with. Themes of personal identity, consciousness, and philosophy of mind.
>The Creeper
It's kind of a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde thing, but not: instead of being afraid of his monstrous and insane alter ego, Jack Ryder is addicted to the thrill of letting go, losing control, and becoming something bigger and more terrifying than himself. In fact, he's almost like a drug addict, and his close ones begin to worry about him. Series has a pulpy/horror vibe, but also doesn't take itself too seriously, like a B-movie.

My main what if idea for Marvel.
Itd just be called "Moon Knight: What If"
Marc Spector, Steven Grant, and Jake Lockley are all seperate people with their own lives who all make a mistake the night of their untimely "deaths" with Marc's being pretty much the same. But Khonshu draws upon all 3 men and force them to share one body, one vessel, to be The Moon Knight. One persona controls the body at a time, and all want time to use the body. The men already look a lot alike for obvious reasons and so the faces just gain/switch key distinct markers and features when they switch who's in control.
When they are mortally wounded the persona retreats and the next one pops right back up. So if someone shoots Jake in the head, Marc can pop right back up, bloody but healed. The Moon Knight is functionally immortal now.
They all have to use their own skills and experiences to help fight crime in their own way and help eachother collectively.

Fuck and yeah is my answer.
Writing for DC Comics would be awesome !
I might do a Green Arrow mini. It'd also be fun to try and write an old school Captain Marvel (shazam) book too.
>Main canon titles will be limited to 25 per month.
>Once every two months, there will be a 40 page elseworld/what-if series to give creators a chance to re-invent lesser known characters.
>Changes to the characters are to happen organically.
>There will be at least one editor overseeing all of the summaries of titles being released to make sure there isn't too much repetition.
>Artists and writers are to get an extra $100 for every issue they work on, to be paid at the end of the year, but any controversial tweet or post, or interview will have $200 of that bonus deducted.
>Classic story lines will be available on Disney Plus to read.
>A promotion/ad showing the comics that inspired the movies will play before and after the movie they inspired.
>Two issues every month, will be dedicated to finding new writers and artists.
>Not all comics will be collected in tpb, only the big sellers, and critically acclaimed ones. Everyone else will have to settle for the individual issues until an omnibus is released.
