fuck ok so ive actually had. a lot of ideas about comics that i would like to exist. i talked about the hard Superboy '94 overhaul in the server i think. yesterday?

i think my dream comic, that being like something that would never exist in a million years, is a sort of 'Miscellaneous Adventures of the Brat Pack' comic. My main complaint with the original series is that the gap of time between issues 4 and 5 is left entirely to the reader's imagination. I don't blame Veitch for this, since there are limits to how many issues you can get for a comic run, let alone one that was more or less entirely independently made in the pre-internet era. He included all of the necessary stuff and it's actually two issues longer than what's described in the pitch bible. The omnibus also includes a scene of the team at a signing event.

But God I want more. I have so many softball questions that aren't plot relevant but matter a lot to me. What was the group dynamic like? What kind of supervillains did they have to fight? I want to see the intricacies of their personalities devolving. I want to see Cody going from uber-narc status to just having to be okay with Karlo and Beau's respective use of recreational and performance-enhancing drugs. I want to know how Shannon felt about getting work done. I want to know if they ever had to care about each other, if there was any real friendship or if it was just proximity. I want to see them fight! What the hell does Chippy even do in a fight? Does he just tank bullets the whole time? Do they have any strategy at all? Is Beau actually racist or just deluding himself into thinking he is? When did Karlo go from beer to crack cocaine?? Just short vignettes! I would be a giddy wreck if I could make that a reality. Maybe even with flashbacks to their family lives? Can we see Ling wiping schmutz off of baby Beau's face?? Even thinking about it makes me really excited.
