Crossovers and guest stars have long been a staple of comics, but these days it seems you can’t swing a cat in a comic shop without hitting a guest appearance by certain characters, usually the current and/or next big thing. (Actually, comic-shop-cat-swinging is disallowed for any number of reasons, from animal cruelty to claw-damaged-back issues, but… Bygones.) Though Wolverine may be the quintessential example, Batman, Spider-Man and others have also reached a level of saturation where they’re just plain EVERYWHERE. Call it overexposure, call it supply and demand, but however you slice it, you’ll probably find a Logan cameo somewhere in the mix, leading to today’s mutant query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) is hoping for Squirrel Girl to guest-star in everything, from Punisher to Spider-Ham, asking: If you got to CHOOSE who became the “Next Big Thing,” what character would you choose and why?

Captain Marvel. The one that I like. Monica Rambeau.
Beta Ray Bill.
I wouldn’t mind somewhat realistic and historically accurate samurai or ninja manga, like Lone wolf & Cub, Path of the assassin or Samurai Executioner to be back in fashion.
