Evil Overlord To Do List
Okay, I am sort of canon-ed out. If you are a comics reader, you probably know why.
SO!
If you had absolute control over the comic/whatever media company of your choice, what demands would you impose? Be as silly and specific and self-serving as you really would be, don't lie, you know you would. (I fully expect that you'll hammer out the socially irresponsible messages first thing but, you know, Day 2.)
My things! (And yes, you can assume I've taken over DC Comics, here.)
1. Zombies Attack Colu, the limited issue miniseries.
I do not even have words for how absolutely *tragic* it is that zombies were allowed to play themselves out without even a measly 80 page giant where a planet full of self-important green super-geniuses run screaming from a staggering horde of undead hungry for BRAAAAIIIIINNNNNNSSSSS!!!!! You guys it would have been beautiful.
2. Suicide Squad and LEGION With Dots get brought back for guaranteed runs, under the understanding that their *real* purpose is to record the cranky and largely off-panelromance love affair relationship between Amanda Waller and Vril Dox II. Fandom can post on ![[insanejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/ij-community.gif)
scans_daily about how it is just now noticing they are obviously MTB; meanwhile I get to sit in my giant leather office chair and go EEEEEE! a lot.
3. Krypton society retroactively shifts to a naming system that is maybe slightly more complicated, but at least is not based on out-of-date sexism. (I know this breaks the silliness rule, but it is something editorially tiny I'd seriously like to see changed. Or have it be acknowledged that Krypton was not the egalitarian society that exists in Superman's head, which can be interesting also but changes with whoever is writing the backstory this issue anyway.)
4. Amanda Connor is tasked with drawing a Power Girl series.
OH WAIT.
I DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE ANOTHER #4 THOUGH I'VE HAD THIS LIST A WHILE.
5. Swimsuit Crisis, for which half the blame goes to![[insanejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/ij-userinfo.gif)
caia_comica.
In which NOTHING is CHANGED FOREVER! And everyone remains the SAME AMOUNT of ALIVE OR DEAD! Drama ensues when Hal Jordan has TOO MANY MARGARITAS and forgets he's meant to be willing into existence a BATHING SUIT! Possibly the earth is getting destroyed in one of the tie-ins, but never mind because Aquaman is giving out DOLPHIN RIDES!
I could go on, but I shall not! What would YOU do?

For others--hmm.
1. Captain America is back from the dead. Bucky turns out to be a Skrull. Captain America and the Falcon get back together and have happy and totally kind of romantic adventures together, in which they periodically team up with Nick Fury--back as head of SHIELD, yays!--and his new Femme Force, consisting of every awesome female SHIELD agent ever. Including Bobbie Morse Barton, who isn't dead anymore. Oh, and Dum Dum Dugan, who is not a Skrull.
2. The Skrulls decide the whole Secret Invasion shit is totally lame and go back to fighting the Kree, as any Skrulls should. Or maybe they can fight the Shi'ar, for some variety.
3. Ollie and Dinah get themselves unmarried stat and go back to not dating at all until they can get themselves some actual good writing or characterization. And then either they go and be an hot 'n' awesome unmarried couple or Ollie runs off with Hal and Dinah with Babs. EITHER WORKS.
4. Really, I don't care what they do with the rest of the New Gods, but we need Scott and Barda alive and well and possibly in their own series. Amanda Connor could draw it!
5. Geoff Johns needs to be forcibly pried away from both Green Lantern and JSA. Seriously. Alex Ross, too.

Man, Amanda Connor would be stuck drawing so many things. Maybe we should clone her.
