Conner would be my ideal choice, were I the writer; she’s spectacular with expressions, posture, and style in a way that I have yet to see elsewhere; the nearest equivalent would probably be Mike Wieiringo or Stuart Immonen.

I love Conner’s art to bits, but you have to bear in mind that she doesn’t want to do regular work on a comic series as her commercial art career is more profitable for her.

Adrian Alphona was going to work with Terry Moore on Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane, but apparently there was some kind of conflict.

It’s funny that you should bring this up, because I was just praising your writing ability and was visiting this site to link to the “I Should Write The Legion” stuff when I saw this post.

Just for shits & giggles, if you were offered an X-book which one would you prefer? Or I guess the better question is, which characters would you want to write (since characters get shuffled around from team to team all the time).

Rob: Honestly, I thought about it and couldn’t think of a single X-title or collection of X-characters I would want to write in a team book. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy reading the X-books on a vaguely popcorn sort of level, but writing them? Total lack of interest.

Although I would confess a sneaking interest in writing a Gambit solo series, just because I like Gambit. I know, I know – I’m a horrible person.

LOL…no worries, I like Gambit too, although I’d like him better if he used something other than playing cards.

I think I will go and get a deck of cards, and try throwing them in a straight line one by one to prove my point to myself again.

Well, actually there is one scene involving cards I’d sort of like to see:

-Gambit challenges a bad guy to a game of 52 pickup. Obviously this needs to be a stupid bad guy.
-Gambit charges the whole deck as he smacks it
-Gambit RUNS FOR HIS EVER-LOVIN’ LIFE!!!!
-Gigantic boom.

MGK,
It tickled me to no end that you mentioned Mike Krahulik as a possible artist for your hypothetical comic. I’m a big fan of PA and Mike’s work.

What would it take to get you and Mike and maybe Jerry to collaborate on something? Maybe you could do a one-off comic just for fun.

I know I’d sure throw a few bucks your way for such a rare collectible. If you could somehow work out a Cardboard Tube Samurai comic-length adventure I would practically bank-roll the operation.

@MGK: Eh? She’s signed up as regular artist for Power Girl’s ongoing, PG being one of her favourite characters.

I’m a big fan of Alphona (who would indeed be perfect on Legion, though I’d miss his changing costume designs we got with Runaways) and Ryan. Miyazawa and Young do a little less for me, but I could deal with them.

Adrain Alphona has a new animation job that pays big, so he’s out of comics temporarily. Which sucks – I loved his Avengers in Runaways, and wanted him on Mighty. I’m in two minds about Khoi Pham constantly

If it was to be Young, I’d hope they give him a good colorist. For me, his style works best with simple and subtle colors, which he unfortunately doesn’t get given very often.

@Rob Brown: That sort of happened in Claremont’s “Uncanny X-Men: Executions”. Gambit went up against a Skrull!Gladiator who was part of a conspiracy to overthrow the Shi’ar empire, and threw an entire deck straight in his face.
