Name: Ian X
Bio: I grew up on Marvel Comics, especially the 80s Silver Surfer, X-Men, and Excalibur. More recently, I read a wider variety of "grown-up" comics like Hellblazer, 100 Bullets, and Preacher. I'm also an aspiring comics writer, currently working on The Deathlings (http://thedeathlings.com) and a second book. Finally, I'm probably best known as a portrait photographer.

I have a more focused suggestion– What about getting together and agreeing to buy the next issue of “Kirby Genesis” instead of one specific Marvel title– Lets say, Avengers #18?
If the movement gets traction, it’s a clear strategy to articulate, and Marvel will see the impact in dollars.
Whether someone is a mutant isn't determined by their parentage, it's determined by whether they have the X-gene. The gene appears able to appear spontaneously (true mutation in the classical sense) or to be passed on. A half-human, half-mutant with the X gene is a mutant. One without it is human.
My nominations to go on this list would include Star Lord, Namor, and Hellboy. Good calls on Zatanna, Spock, and Invincible though.
I suspect we will see things come down to three imprints (two and a half, really)...
DC Universe (superheroes)
DC (non-superheroes, digital comics, whatever doesn't fit elsewhere)
Vertigo (mature audiences, fantasy, crime, etc.)
My big question is where will the creator-owned books end up? Wildstorm and Zuda were the only DC imprint that I know of that did anything creator owned. Will those things end up in the plain "DC" imprint, or with Vertigo?
Everyone.
That's who wins.
The End.
