Marvel is and as long as it's in the current hands will remain a dying comic book company, contrary to what Simone says there's not an X-Men book for everyone, if you're not into left wing politics, gay characters, or a bunch of characters you don't know or care anything about then there's no comic for you.
I just borrowed the collected Teen Titans issues #1 thru 8 on Hoopla and it was such a refreshing read. No agenda, no nonsense, Gar is inappropriate around the ladies, Donna Troy is photographing topless fashion models, and Cyborg's story arcs in issues 7 and 8 genuinely moved me (in issue 7, he reconciles with his father shorty before he dies, and in issue 8, he meets the kids with prosthetic limbs and joins them in sports activities). I miss those great old days.
Everyone loved her work on Wonder Woman, Batgirl, and Birds of Prey. Marvel doesn't have a lot of standalone lady superhero books, this would be right up her alley! Do a Storm or Jean Grey or Kitty Pryde book--you can have all the girl-kicking-ass stories you want, this is the place for it. This is one genre where realism isn't an issue!
They keep wanting to put people with agendas on books that don't fit it, when there are plenty of things she could do that she would be *good at*.
A New Mutants-type spin off was exactly where Miss Simone's "wanna" would fit, but it would have required an older-school ability to relate to a wider world than one's own immediate coterie. (See John Ringo's pinned X post.)
Either way, if you are hired to write the Old Team, master their stories and bring in just one new character a season (remember Kitty Pride?) who lets the familiar OG team expand on canon lore in new ways.

Perez/Wolfman?
Yes sir.
Fat feminist spends too much time eating big macs and whining about misogyny.

A bad case of the "but I waaaaanna" back-firing.
