Okay, we've all done the "dream teams" on the popular heroes -- Spidey, Supey, Batty, Green Lantey, Cappy, Flashy, Wondy, you name it.

But what about big names on books that don't feature the Big Two's star players? Which creators could get you to buy books you normally wouldn't?

So here's the deal -- pick a line (or two) of non-Big Two books like Image, Valiant, Dark Horse, Impact, whatever OR a line of books that have been scooped up by the Big Two but was separate from their core universe for a time -- Fawcett, Charlton, New Universe, Ultraverse, etc.

Then, pick the creative teams that would put those heroes at the top of your reading list. Sound simple?

Go, man -- GO!
