Marvel Team-Up

In the same spirit that is the odd wonder Batman:  The Brave and The Bold, Marvel Team-Up could be a lot of fun.  Marvel Comics has, in the past, had an on-again off-again series thatmtu_tpb_2 teams up its various heroes to fight a common foe or — as it often turns out — two foes who have teamed up.  It would be a blast to sit down and see what two superheroes Marvel was teaming up this week.  Iron Man and The Hulk?  Deadpool and Spider-Man?  Darkhawk and The Human Torch?  Or Marvel could take a page out of DC's playbook and center the series on one particular hero who teams up with different heroes from episode to episode (a certain beloved web-slinger comes to mind).  This would/should be an animated series, with an emphasis on fun.  Lots of laughs, lots of adventure, and some nods to us comic dorks.

    HAHA sounds gay. No, it doesn't. I like Runaways and the Xmen ideas.

    Well, since Marvel's optioned Runaways for a movie (with BKV doing the script), I really doubt that would get turned into a TV show. Down the line, maybe yes, but I think that would depend on how well the movie did, and it would probably be animated, not live action (the TV show, I mean).

    I didn't know Runaways had been optioned for a movie. That's fantastic!

    I think that Deadpool would also make a good choice for serialization as a television show. It could follow a format similar to 24 (as was suggested for the Punisher), or it could follow in the footsteps of Showtime's Dexter with a single major villain every season and each individual episode focusing primarily on Deadpool's day-to-day routine/profession.

    Another format that could be used by Marvel for one of their lesser known group-comics (such as Runaways) could be the LOST format. Throw together a group of individuals, set them in a strange situation, and throw us a bit of history on each individual over the course of each season. We may catch only glimpses of each character's earlier life, but it could make for a very good serial drama.

      The Punisher hasn't been done enough…well, not in the right way. A TV show would be perfect for the franchise. And I agree, a daily bugle show would be awesome.

    The LOST format could really well for a book like Exiles.
