The Demon Vs. Deadpool


I had always liked The Demon, but his appearances in the Alan Moore-written issues of Swamp Thing really made me a big fan.  Moore really had fun with Etrigan speaking in rhyme, and I loved reading his dialogue.  Artists Steve Bissette and John Totleben depicted him perfectly as well, they kept his design but made him appear truly demonic with sharp teeth and claws - he never looked better to me.

  2. I would love to have seen what Jack Kirby would've done to Deadpool in an issue of MR. MIRACLE. :-)

  5. Hmm. Deadpool married a demon, so I'm not sure what he'd endure in hell... maybe they'll restrain him Clockwork Orange style and force him to watch Green Lantern and Wolverine Origins repeatedly...

  6. @Mike Shirley: more likely (and more deservedly), it'll be the needlessly-overladen-with-f-bombs BLADE III.

  7. P.S.---on a lighter note, how about a cover depicting the flying saucers of Gerry Anderson's UFO vs. the Colonial Vipers of BSG: TOS?

  10. You want lighter?
    How about light and heavy at the same time?
    How about a team-up of Bouncing Boy, Fat Lady (Was that her code-name?) from the Great Lakes Avengers, Herbie the Fat Fury, and Fatman the Human Flying Saucer?
