Okay,

I think I need an update here.

Remember this is MY dream, and others are free to criticize it and email
me theirs. The Marveleone Universe is as follows:

0. THE INFINITY MASTERS graphic novel
	Thanos, Magus, Warlock, and many other heroes fight over the Gems, but
they fight intelligently. It turns out that Doctor Strange kept the
Reality Gem but it was stolen, the Gauntlet was reassembled, and Magus
uses it indiscriminately. However, thanks to Thanos, who knows what
happens when total godhood is attained, the heroes know what to do this
time and they defeat him. Strange is forced to use the Reality Gem to
fix up the past but he doesn't put it back exactly the way it was. This
has many repercussions; he and Dr. Doom destroy the Gems so that they
can never be used again for Good or Evil.

1. THE AMAZING SPIDERMAN
	Carnage is slain. Eddie Brock dies, and Venom goes to Felicia Hardy.
Mary Jane does not smoke. Aunt May dies at last. The Vulture is very
dead from a fall in Spectacular. Harry Osborne does not become a
villain. This is the main Spidey title, by Michelinie and Bagley.

2. SPIDER-MAN
	This book rotates creators. Most guest stars go here, Amazing is an
all-Spidey book for the most part.

3. THOR: THE GOD OF THUNDER
	God of Thunder, by Walter Simonson and Terry Austin, picks up right
where Mighty Thor #382 ended. (TMT by the way, is canceled). Thor is a
GOD, and his story will take him away from Earth about 50% of the time.

4. FANTASTIC FOUR ADVENTURES
	FFA picks up right after FF #354. Reed was responsible for Doom's face
being marred, as Walt Simonson had intended. Doom first tracks down the
villain who tampered with his robot (it was the Leader), and then after
that he indirectly sends the FF after them (leading to a Thing/Hullk
COOPERATION) and, cloning a younger, unscarred body, assumes a new alias.
	Of course, Alicia is the real Alicia, and she and Johnny have a baby.
Sharon Ventura stays with the team, but has lost her powers. The FF
moves their skyscraper's HQ module to a new building in Houston, while
most of FFP stays in New York (I'm not keen on New York).
	I write and ink this one, and Jeff Johnson pencils.

5. THE INVINCIBLE IRON MAN
	IIM begins with issue #251, right after Iron Man #250. Through the
Reality gem, Tony's back wound is undone and he resumes his idle rich
life. The Mandarin story is retold, but in 6 issues instead of 24.
	Stories by Michelinie and Byrne, art by Bob Layton.

6. THE SILVER SURFER
	All cosmic adventures occur here. There are NO Guardians of the Galaxy,
no warlock, Thanos, etc. Just Surfer. Nova stays with Galactus.
	Art by Ron Lim and Tom Christopher, stories by Jim Starlin.

7. CAPTAIN AMERICA
	Plot by Eric Raymont, script by Paul Lewis, art by Ron Lim and Danny
Bulanadi. The Red Skull and company go corporate, and Skull gets a new
clone body. The world is a dark place and Cap is the only bright spot in
the whole mess. Even when brutal methods would work better, Cap is a
paladin.

8. NAMOR
	John Byrne and Jae Lee give the book a shot in the arm with some
accomplishments!!! Namorita is a permanent character since the
decimation of the New Warriors.

9. THE MUTANT TITLES
A. X-Force is canceled and all members are killed.
B. Excalibur remains as is.
C. X-factor remains as is.
D. John Byrne writes both X-Men and Uncanny. Portacio, Lee, Williams,
and Thibert return for the art.

10. THE HULK TITLES
A. Incredible Hulk remains as is.
B. John Byrne is too busy to do She-Hulk, so it is done quarterly.

11. THE AVENGERS TITLES
	Except for Thor, Iron Man, and Cap, all Avengers are killed. There are
no Avengers any more; the public needs to contact the FF or X-factor for
help. Avengers, AWC, Quasar, etc. are canceled.

12. DOCTOR STRANGE, THE SORCEROR SUPREME
	The existing book is canceled, and partially undone so that it isn't so
silly at times. Story by Roger Stern, art by Mike Mignola.

13. KIDDIE BOOKS
	All Punisher books, Moon Knight, Ghost Rider, Darkhawk, Sleepwalker,
Daredevil, Cage, Barbie, etc. are canceled without warning. This way the
kids will read stuff like Hulk, God of Thunder, Cap, and FFA and grow up
smarter.

14. WHAT IF
	This stays as  a rotation book. One very very silly April Fools' issue
is "What if Alicia Storm were a Skrull?"

15. BARBARIANS
	Groo and Conan stay, mainly because they don't affect other titles.



May all your dreams come true, and mine too.
