I seriously had a dream the other night that DC had changed something, and there was a brand new book for the nu52...
LYCANTHRO, THE FIRST TEEN WOLF!!
Really, I think I may need to be committed or something.Still, it's a better idea than Red Hood And The Outlaws...
Amalgam comics I can get behind.
ReplyDeleteTee hee!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't worry too much about the need-to-be-committed bit. On a relative scale, your doing just fine.
ReplyDeleteI mean, for comparison - yesterday's comic had one character ripping another spine from pelvis while his innards splayed out to form a fun maze to play - and a scruffy mammal & insect jug band wailing "HAPPY enTRAILS To You..."
It's all relative
(And look - i haven't changed anything on my end, but the comment buttons have miraculously appeared!
See? Now you're onto something!
ReplyDeleteI ragged on you earlier for your Wonder Woman/golem idea (rightly so, imo again), but this one has legs...
Specifically, it got me to thinking that you're always talking about licensed characters from other companies and/or media (such as TV shows and stand-up comedians, Jerry Lewis, etc) and I thought "WHY NOT HAVE A COMIC-BOOK VERSION OF THE MUNSTERS TV SHOW!?"
Yeha, baby! That would totally be something worth it, especially if they used relative aging and allowed Eddie to become the next, newest (and yet still first, oddly enough) "I Was A Teen-Age Werewolf"!
It could be stand-alone or in continuity, I don't care (but it would be fun to see Grandpa challenging his Dragula against the Batmobile in a sanctioned street race through Gotham, wouldn't it?), either way it seems to be a fun and worthwhile project for *somebody* out there to spend time on.
Branching out from there, there's plenty of other properties that could be worth the time it takes to put it together, anyone else have any ideas?
Personally, I'd love to see the Addams Family get the comic book adaption (whether in cartoony humour form or more realistic graphic novel), if for nothing else than to see Wednesday and Pugsley get just a *little* bit older and go through high school then eventually off to college...seriously, that's what at least one of the motion picture films should have been about! I mean, c'mon guys, you have a stellar actress in Christina Ricci portraying Wednesday Addams growing into respected professional adulthood via off-beat and acclaimed roles and you *don't* send her off into the world of post-secondary education with an 'American Pie' treatment to see what her and her brother Pugsley would do to the college and university crowd? I mean, that has *always* seemed like a no-brainer to me!
Either way, nice thoughts you have there...how often do you use them?
