>>81171443Jerm, while I really enjoy this, if you're really serious about this, I don't know if Mania can be the main character, even for a few issues. I know Marvel's all about legacy characters right now, and teen girls, but I don't think she can hold interest in a book, even if she's only the main character for a little bit.
It's why for my symbiote squad proposal, Flash is the main character. People like Flash (except for the anti Flash guys who hate him with a passion).
I can't remember if you were planning to eventually team them up for a squad like I was later, but if you do want to do that, you need to make it much shorter. That's why it took a maximum of 3 issues for me to put my team together. If it takes too long, people lose all interest in the book. I mean, look what happened to Yost's New Warriors. Took way too long for even half the team to get together, and then we focused on that new inhuman character nobody cared about.
There is the problem of explaining these character's backgrounds, but I think it's not too bad to do with just a splash page per character or so.
Just my thoughts.
