sherkahnWe've had the Chipmunks, Underdog and Cat vs. Dogs, and other CGI pet movies (with Marmaduke going a god awful nightmare) have their films.
Should Marvel decide to tap that gold mine, there is one character above all who deserves his own movie. And give it to the Pixar team to do it. They can do no wrong.
( Dignity is over-rated. )

shelleymaree Ah, there's so many characters that don't have their own movie, but totally deserve it!
But! I'm going to go with... Wonder Woman.

schmevil[Yes I know, I'm a day behind. I just spent the weekend at FanExpo with mad so you'll have to forgive me and my tardiness. FUCK YEAH ED BRUBAKER!]
Right now, my favourite comics writer is Ed Brubaker. (This might change tomorrow. I'm indecisive like that).
Brubaker's been tapped to do a surprising amount of reinvention work for the big two. He brought back Bucky Barnes as the Winter Solider, and killed Steve Rogers to explore his absence. He helped give Selina Kyle new direction back at the start of Catwoman volume two. He collaborated with Matt Fraction to revitalize Iron Fist.
These are all great series that play to his strengths as a writer: noir and 'street level' stories. His less successful big two books (*cough* X-Men *cough*) see him trying to write more traditional superhero stories. What Bru excels at: themes of betrayal, rediscovery and redemption; tight plotting, reveals, character work, brutal action sequences.
You can see him at his best in Criminal, Incognito, and Sleeper. (Or so I'm told. Haven't yet read Sleeper myself). Criminal and Incognito pair him with Sean Phillips, and imho these two were made for each other. These books are seamless - Phillps' gorgeously muddy pencils are the perfect compliment to Brubaker's harboiled neo-noir (Criminal), and his noir-pulp identity porn mashups (Incognito). I kind of want them to work together forever and ever, amen.
His work with Steve Epting on Captain America, and Darwyn Cooke and Mike Allerd on Catwoman, is also good, and whoever put together these creative teams deserves a hug. Because shit son, this is comics: just words and pictures, working towards the same storytelling goal.

proteus_livesWell, True Believer, you'd be wrong!
Walt Simonson + Volstagg = Awesome!
I bring more scans of Volstagg excellence in my ongoing campaign to make people fall in love with Thor's supporting cast.
Volstagg's daughter Hildy is sick. You best get the fuck out the way!
