9. Aztek

Writer: Joshua Williamson
Artist: Patrick Zircher

Aztek: He's the Ultimate Man!!

A Grant Morrison and Mark Millar collaboration from a time when they didn’t hate each other, Aztek is the peak underrated nineties character. And if anyone needs a second go around, it's him. Aztek was raised by a cult to go into Vanity, the worst city in the DC universe, and do battle with the monster that sought to end the world.

Pre-52 Aztek lived out his purpose and died in battle, but this is a new opportunity, and a chance to give the Aztek story much more breathing room than it was allowed the first time around. For the team, I picked people who can play it up nineties style. Williamson is a fantastic get for DC, and his image work is featured in some of my favorite recent comics. Plus, from his existing DC work, I can tell how much he loves Morrison-JLA era DC comics. And you need that fondness for Aztek.

As for art, Patrick Zircher draws dudes in a really meaty satisfying way. They all look like piles of hardcore, and this is important for a book looking to recapture Morrison's DC energy.
