wow, i'm almost completely uninitiated tot he marvel universe (seen the x men movies and a few of the cartoons), but i know that playing What If in creative writing is always the best way to serve a story. this sounds like so much fun. i wish i could tackle some great artists and sit around all day going What If for their books/ shows/ films. i think that's called being a Creative Consultant.

any idea who you have to blow to land that job?

~_^ lots of love, roo

Whenever the question of who someone has to blow comes up, I'm always reasonably sure that the answer is me. :)

Look, it's my job, do you want it or not???

The what-if ideas were always great but the stories really didn't pay off that well. Are they bringing back whatshisname, the Watcher?

A jessica Jones story with Bendis and Gaydos will be great, except that she won't be able to say "fuck" which is why Alias was great and The Pulse is not. Also, she isn't really Avengers material. Wait, you know what would be great, if she joins the avengers and marries Scott Lang, and then they both die in issue # 600.

I like "what if Kevin Smith finished his books." Are they talking about the Identity Crisis series that is going on now? Because I can see that panning out a lot different in the Marvel Universe.

I like the idea of What if Doctor Doom had become the Thing, but i can think of others in that vein that are better, Like, What if Doop became the Juggernaut, or What if Bucky became Captain America, or What if the entire Spiderman Clone Saga became Joe's Mom.

Or like, What if Jessica Jones joined the Avengers and became Thor, only without the gay tights.

What do you know about the stories paying off? I bet you've never even read a whole issue! :)

I have the entire second run, and there are some awesome stories.

Yes, saying fuck made that book awesome.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they mean the Sue Dibny Identity Crisis, available now at your local newsstand.

What if Doop became the Juggernaut is the worst idea ever, What if Bucky became Captain America is pointless, and what if the Spiderman clone saga became Joe's mom is scary.

And Jessica Jones could not become Thor, since I have already taken that job. And no, the tights are not gay. Not that it's any of your business, but they are often seen carousing with tights of the opposite sex.
