Hey, all. It’s been a minute since I was last here, which is funny considering one of my most recent posts was about me coming back after an absence.
Any-who, I’d like to pose a question. If you could choose a character or a team to have their own “Challenge” series, who would it be?
To elaborate a little, it would be in the same vein as DC Challenge and its spiritual successor, The Kamandi Challenge. To summarize, every issue is created by a different team of writers and artists, and each team is tasked with solving the challenge of the previous issue, as well as create a brand new challenge for the next issue’s team. Similar to The Kamandi, Challenge, one character or team would be the focus of your proposed Challenge. You’re welcome to suggest writers and artists that you’d like as well, but remember -- they only get one issue to work with!
Things to consider are that, like Kamandi, each issue can be very tonally different than the others due to a variety of reasons. Characters that are super versatile (again, like Kamandi) would do best in a host of possible situations. Also, keep your concepts just that. We don’t want to tiptoe into fanfic here.
Personally, I’d go with good ol’ Blue and Gold. Ted and Booster have great chemistry together and I’d love to see what they’d get up to/in to while trying to get out of whatever they’re put in. Possible writers are my usual favorites: Steve Orlando, Rob Williams, Dan Abnett, and Gail Simone. Artists could include Francis Manapul, Doc Shaner, Kenneth Roccafort, and Bilquis Evely. Also, I’d need an issue from Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Conner. The two of them together for Beetle and Booster would be a treat.
