I've been rereading my Hickman Marvel books to see how all the pieces fit.
I started with Secret Warriors, then went with SHIELD, and now I'm on FF.
Read Hickman's first FF arc (570-572). There's a flashback at the very end of 572 with Reed and his dad. Now read the "1951" flashback in SHIELD #5.
Whooooooooaaaaaaa.
My mind is blown.
There's over 12 months between the release of these issues. One scene is obviously right after the other, yet each stands as a piece of the puzzle in the books that they are from.

Nick Spencer
I mentioned his name back in January as part of my "The best comics you're (probably) not reading" entry.
Well, now he's Marvel exclusive. http://www.newsarama.com/comics/nick-spencer-marvel-exclusive-110309.html
Fuck Tony Stark. I'm a futurist, bitches!
Congrats, dude.

Marvel's Big Shots
Alright, so we've got Moon Knight by Bendis and Maleev coming up.
Daredevil and Punisher have been announced, but the creative teams have not.
I'm going to put on my "dream team" hat and post who I'd like to see on the books and what I'd like them to be. Just because.
Daredevil - Jason Aaron and Chris Samnee.
From his work on Scalped and some of his Wolverine stuff, I could see Aaron being a good fit for the character.
However! I hope this is more light-hearted, like Aaron's Astonishing Wolverine & Spider-Man book.
At this point, I'm sick to death of Daredevil being a doom-and-gloom book and each incoming writer trying to one-up the previous in terms of how much they can fuck up Matt's life. Basically, I want to see more light-hearted but still serious stories, in a similar vein to the work done in Daredevil #353-375 by writers Karl Kesel and Joe Kelly.
Chris Samnee I feel would be a good fit on Daredevil, no matter the tone of it. He can do "fun" stories like Thor: The Mighty Avenger as well as his issue of Ultimate Spider-Man and he can do serious stuff like DC's The Mighty, and the "Red Panda" arc on Queen and Country (#29-32, for those playing at home).
Aside from that, I really like his use on contrast and negative space (see his sketches on his site - www.chrissamnee.com) and I feel it could be used to show off Matt's radar.
He's been my "dream" Daredevil artist for a few years, now. He's drawn the character in the Daredevil: Blood of the Tarantula one-shot and a few pages in Daredevil #500 but I think it's time for a prolonged run on the book.
Punisher - Ed Brubaker and Michael Lark.
Do I really need to say anything?
These guys work well together and they've used Punisher well in the first arc of their Daredevil run.
I'd also like to see some guest art by Sean Phillips, if possible. Let him do an issue or two after finishing up a Criminal or Incognito arc.
I'm not really sure what I'd like to see this book be, if it happens. I think Brubaker would do a slow burn that would play to his strengths instead of a pedal-to-the-metal-kill-everyone take.
