It's not because I think the team itself is uninteresting. I actually just think this book works better as an anthology series, and that's the polar opposite of a team-up title. Good relationship drama becomes immediately less interesting when you mire it in the exact same sort of good relationship drama from other couples. Consider that the CW superhero shows all have bled audiences when most of the shows began running the same types of boneheaded romances. So, in this title, we will gather the dysfunction together into one small room and attempt to explain that somehow there's a difference between these various fail-couples? The only truly "doomed" couple here, by the way, is Dawnstar and Wildfire. I guess you can also make the argument for Rogue and Gambit. The other pair-offs all doomed themselves thanks to markedly idiotic decisions. And I don't want to reward stupidity with potential popularity. How can I accept Nightwing as starcrossed? The only stars Starfire crosses are those between New Tamaran and Earth. So, in the end, I reward you no points because you didn't even adhere to your own distinction. Jean Grey and Cyclops are starcrossed. Lol. "Cheating." "Doomed." Okay. Maybe if this team was called "Made Their Own Bed" my response would be different. Membership Drive: I'm only going to keep Wildfire/Dawnstar and Rogue/Gambit to start with here. We'll scrap the rest of these so-called couples and begin the replacement process with Alanna and Adam Strange, a fantastic romance that is subject to the whims of a science experiment consistently going awry. From there, I'll add Hawkman and Hawkgirl. You can't get much more doomed than constantly being murdered and re-murdered by the same asshole throughout history. Blink and Mimic might be a consideration if I didn't have Rogue and Gambit, but I also like the idea of keepting this team tighter in roster size. Also, I think you could have a great villain in Hath-Set for the overarching series baddie. --- "Reading would be your friend." ~Dave Meltzer <cite>scarletspeed7 posted [p:906629691] in Scarlet Ra...
