I'm still not sure we want to limit to 20 members, I think what we want is 20 titles. But if we had 20 members, I don't think off the top of my head I disagree with your list.

Another possible approach is: who wants to write what? Can we assemble 20 titles from that?

And to get that conversation started, I'd be comfortable writing:

- Minority Miss
- Doctor Stomper
- Occultism Kid (caveat emptor, mine would probably be Action-Comics-ly
  different from the classic take)
- Kid Kirby
- Captain Continuity
- Kid Recap

that doesn't mean I want to write 6 ongoing titles :-P I'd end up choosing 2 or 3 from those based on what other people pick and what other people want to read. (But for the anniversary event I could, yes, write 6 issues if need be. Even 8.)
