I am looking forward the season premiere of The Flash next week. It promises to be a good season in that it looks like we will be getting away from the time travel/speedster vs. evil speedster story lines, which should help keep it fresh. Best of all Ralph Dibny/Elongated Man is going to become a regular character on the show! He is one of my all-time favorite characters from the comics and always seems to get overlooked. Hopefully appearing weekly on TV will introduce him to many more fans.
Isn't the real story what Sue (Dibny) and Bernie (Rosenthal)are talking about over tea while their men are at work?
ReplyDeleteAnother cool cover. And you are welcome for giving you tomorrow's.
Isn't that actually S.U.L.T.A.N.? The renegade SHIELD scientist who somehow downloaded his consciousness into a robotic body (a la Machinesmith)? I think Spidey had a guest-appearance in that two-part adventure.
ReplyDeleteYup, had to "erase" Spidey to make room for Ralph.
ReplyDeleteOn one hand, Ralph Dibny was among those listed as killed by the reactor explosion. On the other hand, Flashpoint did alter a lot of things, and even if that's not the case here Ralph wouldn't be the first metahuman to be presumed dead but turn up otherwise (Martin Stein, Ronnie Raymond, Sam Scudder). It'll be fun seeing a live-action stretcher designed for the small screen.
ReplyDeleteI'm still catching up with all of last season's Arrowverse shows (I just finished the Invasion! trilogy, though I've watched all of what comes after on everything except Arrow), and it's pretty cool seeing encounters with various unexpected DC characters such as Christopher Chance, Jonah Hex (who is apparently now an annual event on Legends of Tomorrow), etc.
Today's cover is an interesting setup. These two heroes are not a pair I would have thought of, but this cover really works, and makes a strange sort of sense. In a way, those are your best pairings: not similar, not opposite, but completely incongruous, but just from two different circles but working together. I could see these two having several disagreements at the start -- the soldier and the detective -- but working through their differences to achieve their common goal.
I'm not this robot, either.

Always loved the Elongated Man. Your cover with the giant robot did make me think about something. You have never done a Transformers/Godzilla crossover cover, which surprises me since that seems like one of the more obvious ones.

Imagine how effective Ralph would be with training by Captain America? Oh and in this universe Captain America is (naturally) with Wonder Woman. Ralph/Sue and Steve/Diana would make a double date cover!

Seconded!
