I was just thinking the other day about the rest of Marvel Earth, and not so much about AF, but also all of the other great nonAmerican super-teams and super-heroes that are out there. And I was thinking wouldn't it be cool if Marvel came out with an "International" title which would spotlight an ever revolving cast of nonAmerican heroes and groups for single issues or short arcs?
That way, if if AF didn't get a title of their own, or the impending one is a flop, we could still get stories of them ... without having to make them guest stars in someone elses story. And of course, it would be cool to see what is going on in all of the reaches of Marvel Earth without having to commit to, say, a the team-formerly-known-as-the-Soviet-Super-Soldiers title or a Blitzkreig title.
If some foreign hero just stank, well, thats his "last" appearance. And maybe its just me, but aren't min-series alot easier to write than on-going series? So, potentially, if you opened the comic to any writer with a good script on any given month, you could get higher quality plots and stories.
Anyway, just a thought ...
