Steel and The Mandalorian

 

I missed The Mandalorian and Grogu in theatres - my local cinema closed down and now I'm about 40 minutes away from the next closest one.  Even though I thought the third season of the series was a step down from the first two, I do enjoy the characters and look forward to checking out their new adventure once it hits Disney+ in a few more weeks.

The Warriors Three and Superman

 

It's time for another all-Kirby classic!  The Warriors Three got the short end of the stick in the MCU, but who says they can't battle on here in the pages of STF?

The Punisher and The Equalizer

 

In addition to getting a new aged up T'Challa Jr. in the next Black Panther movie, Denzel Washington is said to have a role in it.  Washington is one of my all time favorite actors and he has hinted that this may be his final performance, so I can't wait to see what he and director Ryan Coogler have in store.  Thanks to Brian C, a Patron of this Blog, for suggesting this pairing!

Aliens Vs. ALF

 

Have the Xenomorphs finally met their match?  Or will Gordon Shumway get the stuffing kicked out of him?  The answer is only 60 cents away!

Captain Carrot & His Amazing Zoo Crew and Sasquatch

 

It's probably be a while before we see Sasquatch on the big screen, but I hope it eventually happens.  A Zoo Crew animated series feels overdue as well!

Metamorpho and 3-D Man

 

Uh oh!  It looks like The Grandmaster and Mr. Mxyzptlk are back for another round of their superhero championship!  Who will with this round of The Infinity Wager?

Daredevil and Rorschach

 

This would promise to be a gritty tale that pulls no punches.  These are two more characters that I have a hard time imagining working well with one another - but it would certainly be interested to read about.

Spider-Man and Flash Gordon

 

What if Spider-Man had made his debut a few decades earlier?  Maybe we would have seen the wall-crawler appearing in some classic movie serials, like the one above. Ah, what could have been!

Guy Gardner and U.S.Agent

 

Oh boy, something tells me that these two hotheads would not get along.  Let's hope that they can find a common enemy that will get them fighting on the same side.

Expansion Team in: "Whatever Lengths Necessary!"

 

Presenting the sixth appearance of the Expansion Team!  I was very happy to hear that Incredibles 3 is in production, it will be great to see more Elasti-Girl action.  Reed Richards will be back in Avengers Doomsday, but the trailer shows that he still has that stupid mustache.  Either shave it or grow a beard to go with it, Pedro Pascal!

Blue Beetle and The Fantastic Four

 

Nothing like a Kirby-Ditko combo to deliver some Silver Age action!  Blue Beetle previously met the FF along with Booster Gold in STF #3590. The FF met the Jaime Reyes Blue Beetle in STF #1632.

Vigilante and Cloak & Dagger

I'm not sure where the Vigilante identity rests at DC these days.  I seem to remember Adrian Chase dying (suicide?) and that there was a female version for a bit.  But with all the reboots and restarts, who knows, maybe Chase returned at some point?  Or is the character currently in limbo?

 

Blackhawk and The Human Torch

 

It's about time that Blackhawk me some other high-flying heroes from World War II.  let's just hope that he can keep his balance up there!

Green Lantern Corps Vs. The Wrecking Crew

 

The new Lanterns trailer was a lot better than the teaser but I still have my reservations about the show. It still feels a bit like it's embarrassed to be a Green Lantern show, and I don't like some of the rumors I've read regarding the fates of some of the characters.  Still, it's an HBO series and they are usually well written, and I do like the cast.  A lot is riding on this series, so I hope it is received well.  

Sgt. Fury and G.I. Robot

 

I'm not sure when Season Two of Creature Commandos is coming out, but it will be interesting to see where G.I. Robot's story will go next once it does.  Will he make the leap to live action eventually?  only time will tell.

Deadman and Wolverine

 

Thank you to Yuri Volte, a patron of this blog, for suggesting this long overdue team-up!  Deadman met Wolverine with the rest of the X-Men in STF #1991, but I've never featured a cover with just the two of them. There's definitely story potential here.

Hawkwoman and Hela

 

Hela is one Marvel Villain that I would love to see make a return to the big screen.  Cate Blanchett's performance and the visual depiction of the character in Thor: Ragnarok were spot on, and I'd love to hee her intereact with some of the other heroes of the MCU.

Iron Man and Richie Rich

 

Tony Stark has often clashed with other billionaires, so I don't know how well he's going to take this new development.  It might be fun to read about, though!

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.
