Here's an interesting question. If you could reboot marvel and dc, how would your do it?How would you change it around? What would you change, if anything? How would you execute the world?

Some answers from the Get Fresh Crew:

Kara (production supervisor): DC Comics- Helena Bertinelli Huntress and any version of the Question (preferably as an on-again-off-again couple)

Jen (digital editor supervisor): DC Comics-  #ReBeard for Oliver Queen! Bring back my bearded not-very-good-at-it-but-still-a-dad angry liberal old man Ollie! Plus Connor Hawke because he is a precious darling. Summer is coming — what better time is there for another road trip comic ala the GA/GL team up, but this time instead it’s GA and GA! A Father’s Day special, maybe? Also give me an ongoing Booster Gold and Blue Beetle (Ted Kord) as terrible buddy cop superheroes that fail at everything they do but somehow still manage to catch the bad guy and think they’re the best. It’s like an episode of Scooby-Doo where every plan they set goes wrong but in the end, through some weird serendipity of being the absolute worst, they always manage to save the day. At the end of the day they kick back and cheers over Wonder Woman being the best (please notice us, Wonder Woman) and Guy Gardner being the worst.

And finally Big Barda and Scott Free need their own comic. Barda is the true action hero while Scott swoons (editor’s note- check out the J.M DeMatteis Mr. Miracle comic from the late 80′s)

Josh (email specialist): DC Comics- Justice League but on a prison planet. Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman need to break out a la Escape from Alcatraz.Marvel- Flip the Hulks powers so that when he get’s mad he becomes Banner. So to kick butt he needs to remain Zen.  Infinity Gauntlet as a madcap comedy a la Cannonball RunA She-Hulk, Daredevil crossover that is a shot for shot remake of His Girl Friday and changing them from reporters to lawyers.An Agents of Shield book that is focused on desk workers. Hijinks and office romance ensues.

Harris (production coordinator, tumblr editor)- Marvel: Jean Graymor- the Sub Mariner

Daredevil: the Man with EXTRA Fear

DC: Suicide Squad by Michel Fiffe @zegas

Red Lanterns by Benjamin Marra @traditionalcomics

Doom Patrol by Pete Toms @petetoms

Swamp Thing by Lale Westvind @lalewestvind

Teen Titans by Anya Davidson @anyaisdead

Legion of Superheroes/TEOTFW crossover by Chuck Forsman @charlesforsman

Justice League Detroit revival.  They form a synthpop band and drive around in a van solving mysteries.

For every comic starring Batman, a new book about Vril Dox

Camelot 3001 (possible Justice League 3001 crossover)

Slam Bradley/Nathanial Dusk team up book

Claire (international production supervisor): DC- Hawkqua Man

Had a weird day today. Planned to get up early and hit a comic shop to dig for some back Issue therapy. There was a lot of construction and tourist traffic on the roads. Ended up hitting 3 shops because I couldn’t get satisfied and got home real late. Didn’t get any coloring done today so I made myself sit and draw this with a soft pencil brush pen so I don’t feel like a complete waste. This is a glimpse of how we may see revenger in the next story I am telling with her. We are jumping into the future. She is older, more ragged, and and much tougher. My formal goals with this next story is to work primarily with a brush and to up my page size. Probably to 11x17. Thinking about Janson, Texiera for inspiration. Also I just learned about Jorge Zaffino from some friends of revenger and he is now my new northstar. #revenger #comics
