Marvel Guessing Game...

[Gray Lensman]

There was a special edition with Joe Quesada on Newsarama today. I thought people might find this interesting, or at least entertaining.

Quesada has basically announced some projects in a Jeopardy-style format. He's giving everyone the answers, but letting readers guess the questions. At some point, he'll give the game away.

All this is, of course, assuming that Quesada is telling the truth. A huge assumption, I know. ;D

Anyway, here's the list of answers. What do you think they are?

This legendary title returns thanks to the brilliant creative talents of this legendary Brit.

Not really sure... but legendary Brit sounds like either Garth Ennis, Warren Ellis or Neil Gaiman. I'm leaning more to Gaiman as he was supposedly doing something else following Eternals.

This legendary British master has just renewed his exclusive contract with Marvel.

I'm leaning to Ellis here.

This classic novel is scheduled to be illustrated in and published by Marvel.

No idea. More Stephen King stuff?

This recent, huge Marvel event will spawn not only an ongoing series but, two one shots and a mini-series featuring a dead character.

The event could be either Civil War or Annihilation, but I lean more to Civil War. Dead character... hmm. Hawkeye?

This classic teen character will spin out into an ongoing.

I'm really not sure. Nova?

This team of characters will unite in two one-shots despite their master’s wishes.

I'm blanking here.

These two recently deceased characters will return in a mini-series.

Hmm. Also not sure.

This soap opera gets immortalized in a Marvel comic.

Or this one either.

This Marvel family will finally have their own bi-monthly title.

Not too many MU family books. I'm leaning to Power Pack, though.

This cheesehead creator is the writer of the new Marvel family title.

That would probably be Sean McKeever, who is from Wisconsin.

This classic character will be returning to a much requested classic look.

Spider-Man going back to the red-and-blue is my guess. If so, good. The Iron Spider outfit was just a bad idea.

This story is Marvel’s big summer blockbuster event for 2007.

Insufficient data on this one.

This three-initialed writer will be taking over Thor.

Peter David (PAD) or Brian K. Vaughan (BKV) would be the most likely here, I think.

These siblings just signed a deal with Marvel.

The Kuberts are exclusive to DC still, IIRC, so not sure who he's referring to here...

Edit: Unless it's the Luna brothers. Duh.

This group of teen characters will be getting their own Marvel Comic.

Lots of possibilities here...

This three-initialed creator is writing Marvel’s next hit teen team title.

Again, I'd be thinking PAD or Vaughan, unless I'm forgetting someone.

This amazing creative team will soon be finished with their legendary team comic run.

Millar and Hitch on Ultimates would be my guess.

This award winning team title will be looking for a new creative team.

Hmm... Thunderbolts? I hope not, though.

This person is the new artist on one of Marvel's legendary team comics.

Got me.

This person is the new writer on one of Marvel’s legendary team comics.

Ditto.

[hector]

I suppose the Legendary Brit of the first and second questions is the same one. I wouln't call either Ennis or Ellis "Legendary" (or Ennis Brit at all..) so the most logical choice would be Gaiman.

[Gray Lensman]

I see your point, Hec. But then, this is Quesada speak.

[Gay Titan]

This classic teen character will spin out into an ongoing.

Isn't Namorita already an Agent of Atlas?

[Gray Lensman]

You're thinking of Namora, Rodney. She's Namorita's mother.

Nita was rather annoyingly killed off by Nitro in the opening of Civil War along with the rest of the New Warriors. Shame, too. I'd much rather have her survive than Speedball.

[hector]

Well, turns out the Legendary Brit was Alan Davis.

AHHHHHH, thanks for the clarification.
Yeah. I would rather have her over Speedball.

[Gray Lensman]

Some interesting announcements. I got a few right.

There are a couple of these I am definitely getting. The return of the Clan Destine is probably the biggest news for me. It was really a great series, and I've long hoped Alan Davis would return to it.

I'm also interested in Abnett and Lanning on Nova. The Annihilation mini was pretty good. Whedon on Runaways, I will also likely look into.

The rest... eh. JMS can't handle established characters, World War Hulk gets a thumbs down from me on Pak alone, and I'm not that interested in the rest.

All in all, still more promising things there than I'd have expected.

[peterh]

I was guessing Alan davis, mostly because I'd really love to see him some DC work again. And with my luck, you just know he'd be the newest Marvel exclusive

[Elliot Kane]

Clan Destine? Gets my vote

[Venom65437]

The though of Spider-Man back in black gets me super hot and bothered.
