The 90s were a wild time for comic book fans. Our favorite superheroes were getting killed, broken and cloned left, right and center while some of the biggest artists in the industry moved from Marvel and DC to form their own company, Image. With more of a focus on looks than story across the board and some truly wild storylines, these stories would lend themselves more towards modern video game fans than man comic fans nowadays with some story punch ups. Here are the eight comics we'd like to see get dusted off and given the video game treatment.

BATMAN: KNIGHTFALL
In 1992, Superman died. It turned out to be a brief change, but it wouldn't be the last blow given to one of DC's greatest heroes. The next year, Batman faced off against all of his foes, released from Arkham by then-new villain Bane, and ended up getting his back broken by Bane. Soon after, his crazy replacement Azrael, took over and started leaving a trail of brutally injured criminals in his wake while Bruce Wayne went on a journey trying to regain his physical prowess. Give that basic plot to the creators of last year's Batman: Arkham Asylum with the caveat that all the fighting leaves Batman more and more tired, leading to the eventual breaking. Then you can choose between the good (Bruce Wayne, Robin) and bad (Azrael) sides for the second half of the game.

DC VS. MARVEL
Fans had been clamoring for a widespread crossover between Marvel and DC for years. Sure that had been various issues teaming up the X-Men with the Teen Titans and Superman with Spider-Man, but DC vs. Marvel (also called Marvel vs. DC for two of the four issues) was the first big miniseries to pit the big dogs of both companies against each other and they even let the fans vote to see who would win. We'd update the costumes and turn this into a Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe-type game that mixes action with fighting and really give the fans what the want: the opportunity to have Spider-Man beat up Superman or vice versa with them at the controls.

AMALGAM COMICS
An offshoot of DC vs. Marvel, Amalgam Comics was a combination of Marvel and DC's universes written as if it had been around for decades. You got characters like Dark Claw (a combination of Batman and Wolverine) and Super Soldier (Captain America and Superman). DC and Marvel put out two series' of one-shots, but that's really not enough for fans. We'd like to see a mass action game set in this world a la Marvel Ultimate Alliance with plenty of characters to take control of, special moves to develop and villains to pound.

SAVAGE DRAGON
Erik Larsen's Savage Dragon character was a modern day video game star long before the next gen systems were even a glimmer in their creator's collective eyes. He's a super-strong bad ass who rarely gets hurt going up against a series of villains, one crazier than the next. Larsen's fearless and intricate stories have put the Dragon up against the Devil, God and tossed him into alternate dimensions, all the while throwing homages to various heroes and villains from comics' long history. We'd like to see game designers retain Larsen's distinct style in developing the story which can easily pull from the 17 years worth of stories Larsen has written and drawn himself since 1993.

ONSLAUGHT
Try and wrap your head around this one. In 1996, the evil part of the X-Men's leader Professor X turned into a nearly all-powerful being called Onslaught. He posed such a threat that it took the combined might of the X-Men, Avengers, Fantastic Four, Hulk, Thor and others to finally take him down. But, that victory came with a cost: the deaths of many of the Avengers, the Fantastic Four and the like. We'd set this one up like a less massive multiplayer game with a certain number of people limited only by the number of characters in the Marvel Universe. That many people can team up or split up to take on Onslaught and other villains in a more localized setting without having to make up lame rip-offs of the characters you really want to play as. Go through once as Wolverine with one group of people and then Hulk with others.

WILDSTORM: FIRE FROM HEAVEN
Within Image, several smaller groups of characters and teams started to form based on each creator's ideas. Jim Lee dubbed his WildStorm and ended up moving that company away from Image and signing up with DC Comics as an imprint. But before all that, Lee and company threw comics like the WildC.A.T.S., Gen13, Deathblow, Stormwatch and more up against one megalomaniacal baddies by the name of Kaizen Gamorra and Miles Craven. Many of the characters might not be familiar to a modern audience, like Union or Sigma, but that doesn't mean they couldn't make fun characters to play in a game that takes characters from a small island full of evil to the moon for a climactic battle. This one's got everything from superheroes to intergalactic conquerors. We'd suggest doing the whole game in Lee's style even in the books themselves weren't all drawn by him and get the team behind Mass Effect 2 to create an epic story that will truly utilize these classic 90s characters.

TRENCHCOAT BRIGADE
Hey we love superhero games as much as the next gamer, but sometimes we want to see comics' lesser known books and characters on the video game screen. Take this weird little miniseries that came out from DC's Vertigo line of comics called The Tenchcoat Brigade. This group of characters showed up in a Harry Potter-esque comic called The Books Of Magic and then got their own miniseries. The Brigade consisted of John Constantine (a.k.a. Hellblazer), the Phantom Stranger, Dr. Occult and Mister E, all magic based characters with various levels of attitude. We'd like to see a game in which each character is playable in either single or multiplayer mode while they traverse all kinds of crazy magic dimensions, helping people and saving the world with no one ever being the wiser.

RISE OF THE MIDNIGHT SONS
Throughout the 90s Marvel put out a series of crososvers and one-shots based around a team called the Midnight Sons. These were a group of monster hunters trying to keep the world safe from demons looking to take over the world. The book included Blade, Ghost Rider, Morbius The Living Vampire, occasionally Dr. Strange and a number of lesser known monster killers. Turn this one over to the makers of the Left 4 Dead games and make it a real survival thing, but this time with supernatural weapons and powers. Play as monsters to kill monsters, fun concept right?
