With the utter mediocrity that came along with Modern Warfare 2: Ghost #1, it got me thinking about comic books based on video games: it's an idea that seemingly goes hand in hand, yet the majority of the time these books wind up being atrocities against the digital realm (again, see our review of Modern Warfare 2: Ghost #1). There are exceptions of course - the Silent Hill comics come to mind - but for the most part, video game comics often befall the same tragic shortcomings that video game films do.

But what if mere pipe dreams could become realities? What game franchises could be brought over to the monthly comic book format, and what are the dream teams that would go along with them? Imagine a universe in which there is peace on Earth, social unity and New Jersey has been set adrift, for that is the universe in which these books could ever exist.


10. God of War
Written by Gail Simone
Art by Tony Daniel

When it comes to Greek mythology, the possibilities are relatively endless. With a writer like Gail Simone aboard, who has shown her affinity for mythology in her current run on Wonder Woman and would be a prime candidate to tackle Kratos and his world, this book would thrive. With multiple gods to battle, lands to explore, and things to destroy, a God of War monthly title is certainly feasible.

For art duties, Tony Daniel would make a fine pairing for Kratos and his complete and utter badassery. As we've seen him do with Batman, Daniel is more than capable of both telling a story visually and constructing an aura of kick ass around his central characters.
