I'd also love more DANGER UNLIMITED.

(side note: I'd happily commission JB to draw those DU timeline characters in one big group image! I'd love to see what they look like!)

You have enough "group" commissions, Nathan. I don't mind footing that bill to give you a rest. =)

Yeah, I considered "mock DU covers" of those storylines as potential commissions, but I missed the boat / my timing was off.

Eric, at one point I tried to commission a drawing of UMBRA -- but JB (understandably) said he didn't want to reveal that character in a commission.


I'd also like to see JB do that Penny Dreadful comic...


*forgot the "to" :)

Superman & Batman having sons isn't my idea of going back to normal, Adam.

***

I meant in terms of how the characters are being written, their personalities. Damien Wayne pre-dates the New 52 anyway. Strangely enough, he barely appears in either BATMAN or DETECTIVE at all. And Bendis won't be doing much with Jon Kent in SUPERMAN or ACTION COMICS either.

I'm voting again!

DAREDEVIL at Marvel
and
CHALLENGERS OF THE UNKNOWN at DC!

Actually (and we sort of saw some of this when he tackled DOOM PATROL), I would love to see JB handle the Challs, METAL MEN, METAMORPHO and the Doom Patrol all at the same time.  They all seem connected to me, but I'm not sure if any of them can support an ongoing series successfully.  So, either some sort of blanket title or a series of rotating mini-series.

I’d like to see what JB would do with an ULTRAMAN book.

Coincidentally, I was YouTubing some Ultraman clips just last night.

Count me in as one who would like to see JB tell an Ultraman story!

I also agree with anyone who's said Daredevil.

I know JB had a good stint as writer on Iron Man and has had a couple of short runs with the Incredible Hulk, but these are two characters that I would have loved to have seen JB work on as writer-artist for a substantial stretch.

Hard to argue with..

THOR
BATMAN
THE (EARLIER) DEFENDERS

Note I say 'earlier' Defenders because technically Silver Surfer wasn't part of the team in the first issue, and I'd hate to lose him. But I know there is an argument, and perhaps a very valid one too, that it's just splitting hairs to not count him as part of the original team. But then if we do so does Cap count as a member of the original Avengers? (Or is that different because he actually replaced one?)

Anyway to get back on topic, those three books would definitely be my top three. And maybe partly because I love how JB draws capes. He somehow always makes the characters wearing them seem so much more majestic!

I would've said a run on "Dick Tracy", until I saw JB's own thread on that very subject a couple of weeks ago (loved the art he posted, though!).

T.H.U.N.D.E.R Agents would be nice, but, again I think (may have misremembered?) that JB's said he doesn't have much interest in the characters.

Oh, and I'd love to see a six part series with JB's take on the 40s era (is that Sprang?) Batman.

I'd second the nomination to see a Silver Surfer run. There are so many interesting story elements that could be rendered, especially between the Surfer and Galactus.

But I'd also add seeing him do a run with Dracula could be interesting, too. I still look back on Captain America against Baron Blood. It's one of my favorite stories. And I think it would be outstanding to see JB do a run with Dracula in an Old World setting that clashes with the Modern Era.
