What about a book that's all about that weird Inter-dimensional law firm from Deadpool (or Wolverine? Can't remember)? Landau Luckman and Lake I think it was called? It employed a dimension hopping covert ops team.
Art Adams would be cool, but I wouldn't mind seeing Bill Sienkiewicz drawing a Ellis written Mojo book. come to think of it, has Warren ever worked with Sienkiewicz?
Was Dr. Strange already mentioned? Not exactly a dormant character but I think it would be interesting to see Warren picking up where Waid left with the recent mini-series with Strange unable to perform any magic but heading straight to trouble.
I'd like to see more done with Excelsior, or whatever they're called now, but somehow that doesn't seem like Warren's bag. Neither does Trouble, of course, but no one gives a shit about that story.
@SteadyUp I threw up a little bit in my mouth when I followed that link. Had no idea. I have no problem with violence and gore, but apparently I just can't stomach that level of dumb. Weird.
Has the Warren Ellis' Man-Thing joke been used in this thread yet?
Tell me if I'm completely and totally off-base here: is part of the problem that you don't necessarily want to revamp and rework a character into a radically new version - essentially a new character - because the time and energy involved in doing so would be more profitably spent creating a new creator-owned character?
