John Henry Irons was my favorite thing to come out of the Death of Superman event. Here was a character inspired by the Man of Steel without being a simple copy of him with a gender or age change. I'm not sure what he is up to in the New 52, but I hope he finds a place to shine. It would be cool to see him compare red capes and hammers with Thor one day. I imagine this would be one of those fake-out covers, where the story would end with Thor and Odin presenting Steel with an Uru hammer to call his own.
Nice one Ross!
ReplyDeleteJohn Henry Irons, god of the forge... I like that idea.

ReplyDeleteThis is a very cool cover, and I really like your story idea. Call it: "Hammer Time!"
ReplyDeleteI don't know why this made me think of it, but for some reason I'm now wanting to see a team-up of Lobo and the Bamfs. I doubt there are enough images of the latter to make it, though.
Bob, I've already used "Hammertime!" as a title once before, so I had to resist the urge here.
ReplyDeleteThen, just call it "It's Hammer Time...Again!"
