scarletspeed7 09/07/18 12:10:22 PM #371:	#24 - Raven and the Spooky boys Created by: Girugamesh Raven Ghost Rider Moon Knight The Shade Etrigan the Demon Klarion the Witch Boy I wouldn't say I have a vision for this team so much as a flavor. But it's a great, unique flavor. It has hints of darkness, an edge of uncontrollable evil lurking in every character. Raven is always a knife's edge away from succumbing to darkness. Moon Knight is a split personality, a wild card at any moment. Ghost Rider is empowered by the forces of Hell essentially. The Shade can and has become an unbridled murderous force for evil. Etrigan and Jason Blood are the cooler version of the Hulk, and that moral quandary, that chess game between the two opposing minds, always threatens to consume one or both. And Klarion, of course, is a Mr. Mxyzptlk - a seemingly innocuous being that hides a shark-like killer attitude beneath. So I immediately see the potential for internal conflict and the thematic flavor for this title. It's darkness seeping in at the edges. A little bit of an undercurrent of madness threatening to engulf the world. And I'm always a sucker for magic teams since they are so woefully underutilized in comics these days. I really feel like this is a great team, but I take minor umbrage with Raven over Enchantress in this group. Raven is a children's character playing in an adult's world with this gang. She's a little too simplistic and soapy for the rest of these characters. There would be a certain economy of dialogue necessary to give her fans the title they can wrap their heads around. Peter Milligan or Mike Carey would be forced to dumb it down a little with this title. But the group itself would sell well. Membership Drive: Aside from the aforementioned replacement of Raven with Enchantress, I kind of like the idea of Hellboy in this group. Another character that has always wrestled with his explosive, volcanic potential lurking behind the human-like behavior and attitude he fronts, I could really see him jibing with this team and also providing a lot of the source material for their various adventures. The archaic and the arcane really are best presented in Hellboy, and these characters would gel with that sort of storytelling immaculately. --- "It is too easy being monsters.
