The Destroyer and Batman

 

I had to groan when I saw that The Batman Part II has been delayed yet again and now will not come out until 2028.  That probably also meant that we won't see Batman join the DCU until after that (if the DCU lasts that long between poor reception and company mergers).  Hopefully whatever Matt Reeves has planned will be worth the six year wait for a sequel.

Sgt. Rock and Werewolf by Night

 

Recently, I found some reasonably priced Artist's Editions on sale an picked them up.  These are books that collect full size images of original comic art.  One that I got was The Best of DC War, which features lots of Joe Kubert pages.  As if I didn't already consider him the best comics artist ever, seeing his techniques up close is truly a thing of beauty.

Mr. Terrific enters The Laff-A-Lympics

 

This cover comes about at she result of a suggestion by Marc Tyler Nobleman, comics' historian and Patron of this Blog.  Thanks, Marc!  I'm looking forward to Mr. Terrific's return in Man of Tomorrow, hopefully he will get another cool solo action scene.

The Beast & Wonder Man Vs. The Brotherhood of Evil

 Of all of the X-Men returning for Avengers: Doomsday, I am looking forward to seeing The Beast the most.  He was cool in X3, but we didn't get to see him in nearly enough action scenes.  Hopefully that will be remedied in this new appearance.

Dick Tracy and The Atom (Part Three)

 

For the conclusion of this Three-Part Epic, we get our third Atom and the revelation as to who has been behind these time twisting shenanigans! Let's hope Tracy and Choi can put an end to Chronos' evil plans!

Dick Tracy and The Atom (Part Two)

 

For the second part of this three-part epic, We see that Tracy has tracked down Ray Palmer's whereabouts.  Who is the secret villain behind this case? Make sure you return tomorrow for the thrilling conclusion!

Dick Tracy and The Atom (Part One)

 As a short redhead growing up, I couldn't help but feel a certain kinship with Al Pratt.  I was glad to see him eventually prominently featured in All-Star Squadron. This tale is only Part One of a Three-Part Epic, so make sure you come back tomorrow for the next chapter!

Fantastic Four and Space Cabbie

 

More recent versions of Space Cabbie depict him with a very futuristic looking taxicab.  There was something cool to me about the original version, just a regular looking taxi with a big ol' fin in the back, zipping through the cosmos.

The New Teen Titans and Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends

 

I remember seeing character designs for a never produced New Teen Titans cartoon back in the 80's and wondering what could have been. How cool would a crossover with Peter, Angelica and Bobby have been?

Spidey previously met The New Teen Titans in STF#3810 and STF #767 and the original Teen Titans in STF #619...

The Beatles and The Silver Surfer

 

I was pretty impressed with Paul McCartney's recent Saturday Night Live appearance.  Not only did he perform a half dozen great songs (only a couple aired, the rest can be seen on Youtube), he was also the funniest part of a mechanics skit with Will Ferrel and Marcello Hernandez.  Over 60 years into his career, and he's still a great entertainer.

Wonder Woman and The Thing

 

Reed Richards could have used that lasso, I seem to remember one member or another of the Fantastic Four getting mind controlled on a semi-regular basis back in the day.  The Thing first met Wonder Woman way back in 2011, on an MS Paint MTIO Cover...

Sasquatch Vs. Green Arrow & Black Canary

 

Ollie had better have a couple of extra sets of ski poles in that quiver, it looks like he and Dinah are going to need them!  Let's hope Walter regains his senses and joins them in taking his manipulator down!

Mademoiselle Marie and The Invaders

 

Are fishnets and a mini skirt appropriate battle wear?  Maybe not, but Marie is an effective agent nonetheless. It would be cool to see her on a mission with The Invaders.

Metal Men Vs. The Absorbing Man

 

This could be an interesting match up.  Would Crusher Creel be able to absorb the team's shapeshifting abilities in addition to their metallic properties? I'm thinking that would make for a more exciting battle, so if I was the writer, I'd say yes. 

The Spirit, The Flash and Sonic The Hedgehog

 

Previously on this blog, The Flash has crossed paths with both Sonic (STF #518) and the Spirit (STF #1672).  Bob Greenwade, frequent commenter and Patron of this Blog, suggested that all three share a cover, given their connection to Central City.  It might not be as action packed as you hoped for, Bob, but here you go!

OMAC and The Jack of Hearts

 

A lot of prep work was required on the original image before I could add out heroes in.  Here's a look at the behind the scenes process:

Vixen and The Cat

 

I love Vixen as a character, but that first costume of hers was something else.  For a character that was supposed to be a fashion model, it wasn't the greatest look.  Fortunately she received a makeover by the time she joined the JLA.

Josie & The Pussycats and Wonder Girl

 

For me, music and comics have always gone together.  I like to have something playing in the background when I am reading the latest issue.  Usually its classic rock, but sometimes I'll put on some superhero movie scores to really get in the mood.

Space Ghost and Firestorm

 

Uh oh, Mr. Universe is back to menace the heroes of STF once again! This time though, he's facing one who has met him before - Firestorm battled him alongside Mar-Vell in STF #4735.  Hopefully that experience and the help of Space Ghost will give him an edge this time around.

Deadman Vs. Doctor Doom

 

Leave it to Victor Von Doom to figure out mystic barriers against possession.  This could be a interesting match up, especially if Doom was somehow aware of Boston Brand's presence.
