Never a huge 'Heroes reborn' fan, but the idea of Harry Osborn taking over as Spider-man in an attempt to atone is pretty intriguing.

Yeah, in this case it simply allows for a year to tell interesting stories like was done with Incredible Hulk. On the other end I shudder at the thought of Spider-Man reimagined by Rob Liefeld or Jim Lee.

Well, his costume redesign would have involved either a high collar or lots of pouches.

Behold: Spider-man with super steroid spider breasts and spider nipples! Behold: His spectacular spider guns, which are as wide as he is tall! AND BEHOLD: his incredible Spider-healing factor! Amped up to incredible portions to contend with the horrific anatomical changes he endures under the sadistic Mr. Liefeld's cruel pen from panel to panel!
Ladies and gentlemen, BEHOLD: SPIDERMAN REBORN!
A twelve issue miniseries starring Peter Parker! Cable! And a host of forgettable villains dying with their mouths inexplicably stretched wide open!
Written and (well I guess it's technically 'drawn') by Rob Liefeld..for as long as he feels like it! To be finished out by an as yet unnamed Spider writer\artist team!
Coming to a store near you!!

I always feel bad for Rob, as in interviews he has a ton of enthusiasm and love for comics and his ideas sound great, he just has questionable talent and very iffy staying power. With some kind of partner/guiding force, I think he could have done better. Nearly all his stuff feels like a rough draft that somehow got published.
I like his ideas and then open the comic and start wishing he'd given the idea to someone else.

He really does have such passion for the work, but his track record looks like that of a ten year old with ADD. He never really stays with a title for too long and when he does, it's always massively-late and very sketchy. The funny thing is that I look at his old Youngblood stuff from the nineties, and then I look at something newer, like Onslaught Reborn. And I'm like: Why does his stuff from twenty years ago look more "finished" than sketchier, newer work?
It's just so bizarre. As an artist myself, it makes me wonder that if he could find something to enjoy in the either the art itself or evolving his work as an artist, that interest/enjoyment in the work might carry him through a project better than just the idea of Hero A vs. Villain B. Because it looks like he hasn't learned anything new in his art for twenty odd years.

Yeah, after an interview, I picked up some of his run of Deathstroke, because he sounded so gung-ho about it. The arc with Lobo where Rob re-imagined the Omega into the Image team template ( strong guy, leader, girl, guy with claws etc) was a lot of fun.
The next arc you could feel the disconnect. Maybe he should go the Jim Starlin, Alan Davis route and just do minis?

If nothing else, it would leave less for later creative teams to clean up. I think that would leave him freer to do crazy ideas and the other creative teams could incorporate elements of his stories, or discount them completely. The minis would be their own entities, and he might even have a better track record of sticking with them until the end.
...maybe.

What If...Scott Summers had been a Responsible Adult?
Jean Grey has returned from the dead, Angel calls to tell Cyclops the news. But this time Scott asks Angel to tell Jean that he's married now with a son, that what they'd had as teenagers can never be reclaimed, and that he wishes her a good life. Angel does so and, having an inkling about what Jean might need, then gives Wolverine a call. This leads to two teams of X-Men: one helping Magneto train new mutants in Xavier's teaches, and the other actively projecting a heroic image of mutants. Sadly, when this second team encounters Apocalypse, mental commands are triggered in Wolverine and he kills the team. The school team is then unable to defend the Morlocks against the Marauders, and when several New Mutants are kill Magneto goes nuts and back to villainy. Later, the Marauders ambush Cyclops, killing him and his wife, and Mister Sinister get his hands on baby Nathan. That doesn't matter though because, with nobody to sacrifice for his spell, Forge fails to stop the Adversary from destroying Earth.
So yes, the fate of the world depended on Cyclops running out on his family.

Watching the netflix marvel shows I now want to write 'What if Jessica Jones was actually good at her job...?' I may need to rewatch her series, but Jessica appears to be a good investigator on Defenders. But yeah, in the Alias comic, she completely failed to do what J. Jonah Jameson hired her to do. Even Mac Gargan knew to follow Peter Parker as a potential lead to Spider-Man's identity.
