Ya know, i do think it kinda funny that Marvel has no forum anymore, if it ever did. In the day and age of computers, i guess you could call it the silicon age, they seem to be much farther behind the times than venerable old DC.
I would love chance to show them that not all fans are quivering fanboys over some of their "favored" writers and artists.

I'm a major Slott fanboy as well cause it's not just mindless comedy...there is a good story in there as well. He's already used Julia Carpenter and now El Aguila over in GLA...I told him if he does that I will buy anything he does so I obliged.
As for the top tier character? A Spider-Man title comes to mind. Since Spidey has so many he can jump on. Or he can do a Spidey mini.

Slott one of the Spidey books (which haven't been up to par for quality lately IMO) would make this mega-Spider-Man fan a very happy camper!

Did anyone see the news as to Slott's major character ongoing series?
It’s the Thing! And you know, I think this is going to be pretty cool! Slott on the Thing might actually be the perfect fit for him…and will definitely go in the tradition of She-Hulk and Spidey/Torch.
The Thing is actually one of my favorite Marvel characters, and I don’t think he gets nearly enough attention as it is. I mean, he used to be Marvel’s most popular character along with Spider-Man for like two decades! I wouldn’t mind seeing him go back to at least being one of the most popular.
And Slott writing almost guarantees good story-telling, lots of comedy and a love for science-fiction/silver age goofiness. I think Marvel found a good fit for this one.

THE THING? Top-tier at Marvel? Longtime star of the Fantastic 4, star of his own team-up mag, had his own solo series before. Had his own MEGO action figure!

To tell the truth I really think the Thing is an icon. He has the star power to be out there in the mainstream with guys like Spidey, Hulk, and um...I guess the X-Men (ick).
I am really glad they gave him his own title. He is probably my favorite Marvel character. Who doesn't like the big rocky guy???
As for Slott? He has done nothing but impress me at Marvel. I would like to see him do something a bit more dramatic (not serious/dark/grim/gritty). Would love to see him (or Casey) take over Avengers after they finish this grim/gritty/in da hood phase.

Ben Grimm's a great character, but I find myself wondering if anyone can make him work for long outside the FF. We'll see soon enough.
Hey the Avengers do have an editor! Tom Brevoort? hahahaha. We know he has nothing to do with this Avengers. A couple years ago Tom was on top...now? He seems to be a middle man cause his books certainly are starting to look more like the MK line. In any case...Joe Casey is working on Iron Man hopefully he may get Avengers in the future. Who knows it might be David Mack...when Echo joins!
In today's market a Thing solo series is risky. His last series was successful but it spun out of Secret Wars as well as Byrne's FF...when Byrne was BIG and comics sold like hotcakes so you may be right. If I was Marvel I would stick with the Thing series just in case.
LASH, love the Ambush Bug icon!!!
