So I came up with this thought exercise a few weeks ago, Earth-2M and the 13th Doctor were kind enough to once again oblige with a response. I asked the crew to come up with creative teams that they would like to see working, once again, on some of their favorite titles. We were not encumbered with things like payroll, death, and past or present feuds with Marvel and DC. One rule: The creators we selected had to have actually worked on the titles at some point in their career and we could not use a creator more than twice. As I should have expected my pull list got out of hand pretty quickly and I find my fictional self collecting just as many books as my actual self.
