Let's say that you're able to commission a single issue comic book starring any character you want, by any living writers and artists. So, for example, you could commission an issue of Fantastic Four written by Alan Moore and drawn by Chris Sprouse. Or Amazing Spider-Man by Peter David and John Byrne. Hell, you could even get a Harry Potter comic by Grant Morrison and Bill Watterson.

So, what would your top five picks be?

Roy Thomas and Jerry Ordway telling the story of the first Union Jack's initial battle with Brother Blood circa World War I.

"The Adventures of Uncle Twitchy and His Pal, Rafael" written and drawn by Erik Larsen.

Living, huh?
How about a Babs Gordon Batgirl story by Linda Burns and Kevin Nowlan?

An adventure of the IMWAN 4, written by Uncle Rog, breakdowns by Steve Ditko, finishes by Loston Wallace.

I think that one's already in the works.

And I'd be happy with a few more Thor: The Mighty Avenger books
by Roger Langridge and Chris Samnee.

Supreme: The Conclusion by Alan Moore and Art Adams with Mike Allred

Daredevil - James Ellroy and Tim Bradstreet
Doctor Strange - Neil Gaiman and Steve Ditko

Ditko -- story and art for some Spider-man, picking up exactly where he left the book.

No Stan Lee?

That nearly happened, or at least it was in the process of happening.
But I think Marvel was doing John Byrne's Spider-Man Year One at about the same time,
and Ditko passed apparently because of this.

Sad.

No, we got to see where he took the book. We never got to see what Ditko would have done.

It's not the art I want to see as much as where he would have like to have gone.

Not Byrne, Busiek.

That's the stuff.

When Moore's done with that, how about he finishes 1963?

X-Men by Claremont and Byrne
Teen Titans by Wolfman and Perez (can't wait for that new Titans graphic novel by them).
Conan by Matt Fraction and Patrick Zircher.
The Incredibles meet the Fantastic Four by Bruce Timm
Daredevil by Tim Sale.

Well, Monk asked for the Top Five, so:

1. Supreme: The Conclusion by Alan Moore and Art Adams, with Mike Allred (as stolen from Hanzo.)

2. 1963: The Conclusion written by Alan Moore. With the 1990s characters drawn by Mark Silvestri, and the 1963 characters drawn by Bruce Timm

3. Glory: The Conclusion, written by Alan Moore, art by Adam Hughes

4. Youngblood: The Conclusion, written by Alan Moore, art by Chris Bacchalo

5. can't think of a fifth one.

Nice one!

Agents of Atlas: Dark Reign Revisited, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Norman Osborne.

For example:

I cannot find an emoticon to describe how I feel about this.
