At all the UDC sites I've been to, eventually an Ultimate Marvel sister site opens up and I was wondering if anyone would be interested in that here. While DC is generally my favorite company, I would certainly enjoy having my hand at some Marvel characters (especially The X-Men who I have found creatively bankrupt since Whedon left). So yeah, if anyone's interested I'll work at building up a site. Not for a little while though while we establish our work here. I'm thinking mid-summer.

I thought about this the other day. I'd be interested in doing a little something.

I wouldn't mind taking a crack at the Fantastic Four.

Okay, so yeah. I'm thinking like the beginning or middle of July. I know that I'll probably have my titles established by then, so I'll be able to take on more.
And Jross, The Fantastic Four is probably my favorite franchise ever. But, judging by your Green Lantern, I'd say its in good hands.

It's tempting, but I'd be more or less revising issues from my Daredevil run a few years back. I reckon I'm going to retire from fan fiction after my Batman run is finished.

Sure why not. In for a DC in for a Marvel. *L* I'd like to reserve Ultimate Hulk if I may.

I would love to do a Punisher title. So mark me down for that one. Punisher...baby.

There's so much I'd like to do, SHIELD or an X title of some sort would be at the top of my list.

Oh, FoxMulder, don't let me take your fun. I didn't mean that I wanted to reserve them, just that it would be fun. My new day job has curtailed my writing time, and I still have a book to finish for HJP, plus Ultimate GL.

In fact, I wouldn't know where to start there. I was just saying you better do a good job.

As marvel has an ultimate run (which I am fairly partial too) as an idea it could be cool to do a marvel elseworlds project, like marvel 1602, or sci fi version like batman beyond, of thekillingjokes batman. Just as it would be cool to see a themed work fully develop. - Just a thought.

Might not be a bad idea, especially the 1602 one.
We could always do X-TREEEEEEMME! Marvel.

I wouldn't object to a name other than "Ultimate Marvel." It'd be cool to take the material and go nuts with it.

Personally, I'd rather not do a high concept board as I do appreciate creative freedom. To set a board around a theme would make the board relatively homogenized. I don't want to sit down and tell people what to write which is what a theme would do. I like this board because it allows something like TKJ's Batman to exist which is really out there, my Flash to exist which turns the Science into Spiritualism and Starman which plays it a bit more straight in the same universe.
That said, I'm a bit biased as I already have some plans for X-Men. I want to take the counterculture ideas of X-Men a bit more literally. I took a class on radical thought in the 60s and I thought it would be cool to play up the MLK/Malcolm X paradigm between Xavier and Magneto. Have Xavier be a student of Ghandi, Jesus and others while Magneto will be a student of Fanon and Marcuse. I also have the first arc relatively plotted out.

I think your X-Men ideas are pretty sweet, Fox. I also love the spiritualism of Flash.

Ooh, actually, maybe an Ultimate Death's Head. He exists in Marvel, Transformers and Doctor Who continuity.

I'm interested in doing an Ultimate Nova. I don't know if I'll be able to find a character for DC I'd like to write on, but I have something in mind for Nova.
