OT: In the "long going tradition" of the What If You Were Given Control?- Superman, Batman, JLA, World's Finest, The Brave and The Bold, and Annuals threads, I have comprised the ultimate What If You Were Given Control? thread. No, this thread isn't about what you would do with one of Marvel's Ultimate titles. In this thread I am going to ask what they would do if they were to be given a twelve issue run on the comic book of your choice. It can be a Marvel book, a DC book, a Dark Horse book, whatever. It's your choice.
