Uh oh! Is even the fastest man alive swift enough to get out of this predicament? I'm sure those vile Martians will give him a run for his money!

I lot of times I will pair characters together on this blog because I feel that they would get along and work well together. This is a case in which the opposite is true. I imagine that Selina Kyle would have no patience for a squirrel-themed hero.
For this Anniversary Issue, I thought that I would present the kind of Saturday morning line-up that would have made my head spin. With shows line these and some Peanut Butter Cap'n Crunch, I would have been all set. Here are some closer looks at the stories in this issue:
Big news hit this week as control of the James Bond franchise has been given to Amazon. What will that mean for the future of Bond movies? Amazon has made some great content, but also some real clunkers, so who knows? I just hope this doesn't lead to a James Bond Cinematic universe. I like Miss Moneypenny and Q, but I don't need to see them get their own spinoffs.
Here's another World's Finest inspired pairing, this time with some canine heroes taking the spotlight. I think these two would get along famously. Thanks to Simreeve for suggesting this team up!
Of all the DC characters that I wish I had seen Jack Kirby illustrate more, Hawkman would be at the top of the list. He worked on the character in the Super Powers mini-series, and a sketch or two - and I really loved his take on the winged wonder. How cool would it have been to see Kirby really let loos with a Hawkman series of his own?
Sam Wilson's newest cinematic outing seems to only be getting middling reviews, and the box office seems to be following suit. It looks like I can wait a few months for the Disney+ debut to watch it. Have any of you seen it, and what is your opinion? Should I catch Captain America: Brave New World on the big screen?
This one would be like one of those hidden gem Golden Age tales that I discovered as a back up tale in a 100-Page Giant or Annual back in the day. It was cool as a young reader to get a peek at comics from an earlier era.
I'm a little surprised that I haven't paired these two blonde heroines together yet. Something tells me that they would get along well. Maybe they would even have the makings of a World's Finest type of team.
It was a pretty controversial storyline when it was revealed that Zatanna erased some memories of her allies in the Justice League. What would happen if she tried to pull the same stunt on Earth's Mightiest Heroes... and what would cause her to take such a drastic action? The answers are only 60 cents away!
Avengers: Doomsday is about to begin filming, and I wonder what Spider-Man's role in it will be. I am sure Marvel will want to include him, but his new status quo after No Way Home means that all of his ties to Earth's Mightiest Heroes are gone. How will a loner like him fit in with the rest of the action?
Whatever type of situation that would call for an alliance between these two would certainly make for a moody tale. Let's hope that this fragile truce holds long enough for them to reach their goal.
It's time for another all-Kirby classic. Scott Free has made a lot of great escapes in his day, but can even he break free from the bonds of time? It would be fun to see how he got in to this situation - and how he gets out!
This is the third meeting between Doctors Mid-Nite and Strange, a pairing originally suggested by Bob Greenwade, frequent commenter and Patron of this Blog. They were last seen with Dr. Fate in STF #3267 and they first met in STF #2721...
Has anybody checked out the Hellboy: The Crooked Man movie? The reviews that I saw during its brief run said that the limited budget was very noticeable, but that the story was pretty faithful to the comics. I couldn't even finish the previous David Harbour Hellboy movie, so I hope it is better than that.
This might have been a fun Golden Age pairing to see. Here's another random villain from those days. It's too bad The Future man didn't stick around - I guess there wasn't much to his future after all!
Filming on the HBO Max Lanterns series is finally underway. Hopefully that means we will soon get some more details on the look of the production. I am sure the costume designers will want to steer clear of the mockery that Ryan Reynold's CGI costume received. One distant set photo has been released, but it did not reveal anything.
