Sf/F novelists on DC books..Good fits or not?

[bcondray]

:D

I think I may be harping on this a bit...but instead of just naming Sf/F authors I'd like to see write comics... I think I've got a few rather good matches of writer to specific characters..

Sgt. Rock...John Ringo

Phantom Stranger .. Simon R. Green

Elongnated Man... Robert Asprin

Green Arrow ..R.A. Salvatore

Black Canary .... Elaine Cunningham

Ambush Bug... Terry Pratchett

Sargon.... Ed Greenwood

Zatanna... Mercedes Lackey

Green Lantern Corps... Peter F. Hamilton

Dr. Fate....Jim Butcher

Madame Xanadu...Anne Bishop

I, Vampire.... Laurell K. Hamilton

Wonder Woman....David Weber

Doom Patrol....Michael Moorcock

Legion of Super-Heroes.... David Drake

Challengers of the Unknown..... Elizabeth Moon

Metamorpho.... L.E. Modesitt, Jr.

Unknown Soldier... Eric Flint

Omega Men.... Weis/Hickman

House Of Mystery..... Terry Brooks

So...What do you think of my choices....and do you have any you would add?

Pratchett on Ambush Bug? It would be the comic book equivalent ingesting every hallucinagen known to man all at once.

Asprin would have to cowrite with someone so he can keep his tax dodge going. Heh.

There's this fantasy novelist named Gaimen. He should try his hand at comic books some time
oh, wait....

So that's why he has all those "helpers" on the newer books.... .. What brought this on? I.R.S. go after him...or something else?

Never heard of this Gaimen...is he friends with Neil Gaiman?

Actually, Gaiman is the original, Gaimen is the much anticipated, but widely panned, sequel.

Bigtime. He only co-writes or works as "creative editor" nowadays because the profits from anything he writes solo get heavily garnished by the IRS.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I messed up the joke with a piddling spelling error. :p

[achilles140]

On what books?

Resnik on Batman or GL or a Mystery in Space type thing, maybe L.E.G.I.O.N.

Cook on Wonder Woman or perhaps Dr. Fate, or Zatanna.

Ambush Bug... Terry Pratchett

Yes, please. :D

[mmmrrrr]

I know it's a Marvel book, but William Gibson on Cable & Deadpool seems like a good fit.

Isn't the guy doing Aquaman some bigshot fantasy writer? Is that book any better then when Busiek was writing it?

Tad Williams' first issue of Aquaman doesn't go on sale until 3/21.

[Inanimate]

Elizabeth Moon should right Wonder Woman, or at the very least Hawkgirl, Black Canary or one of DC other warrior girls.

John Ringo needs to write a WarMachine book or a shield combat armour book. For DC
possible GLC or Steel or something based around Starlabs or DEO teams.

David Weber should have a stab at the next Kree-Skrull or Rann -Thannagar style space
conflict.

I say let Robert Jordan right a big sprawling DCU Maxi-series... but a) they'd never come out. b) it'd be changed from 6 issues to 12 to 16 and then an ongoing. c) Every month their would be rumors of his ill health or death.

[manilaknight]

Oh okay, my goof. :p It'd be interesting to see then if the sales on that book increase.
