Rocket Raccoon and Metamorpho



I recently picked up the first TPB of The Terrifics, and they were some of the funnest comics that I have read in a long time.  I am very happy that Metamorpho has found a new home, he's one of my all time favorite characters.  I'm a fan of Mr. Terrific and Plastic Man as well, and I always thought that Phantom Girl was one of the cooler Legionnaires, so I am intrigued by this new version.  Plus, Tom Strong is back, and interacting with the DCU! There were a few artists on the series.  They are all great, but I really loved Evan "Doc" Shaner's work and I hope he stick around.  His Rex Mason looks perfect!

Would Rocket want his leg too? Have you done a Rocket and Ch'p team up? Or even Rocket and Squirrel Girl? Ch'p and Squirrel Girl?

or how about Ch'p and...
Dale Evans, the queen of the cowboys...

Maybe Squirrel girl could even be a humanoid species evolved (through primate-like ancestors) from SQUIRRELS!

On Pop Culture Shock Therapy today, a roommate of the original Battlestar
Galactica's Starbuck dreamed that he was a woman (an allusion to the reboot). Maybe it, or a similar comic strip could have G1 My Little Pony characters have nightmares about being feminine human-like eye candy (in other words, Equestria Girls).

@Anonymous 2: maybe such a comic strip could reference(?), for the Christmas season , Baron von Frankincense. (Frankenstein, Frankincense; Get It?!LOLXD).

Today's cover would definitely be a great tie-in between AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR and a Terrifics-based movie. Unfortunately, I just read the latest issue of the latter, and a lot of the dialogue...

...made it seem like the series is already being cancelled. :-(

Maybe Rex Mason wasn't a good dancer, but has anyone noticed he has two left feet?

Great cover. Would be a fun story.

I like The Terrifics too.
There have been jokes that their creation was DC taking advantage of Marvel ceasing to publish the Fantastic Four, or at least a creators' tribute to the latter group: Wait until you see the main villain in their more recent stories!

@The first anonymous: maybe Squirrel Girl is an In-rodent from just such a parallel Marvel alterniverse. Similar to how the Gibbon seems to be an In-simian from the Marvel Ape-verse!

I was excited about "The Terrifics", but after reading the first trade I was underwhelmed. I hope the creative team gets a chance to improve on the direction and purpose of the series, not to mention the character interactions. It was good, but not great.

@Ken: again, read issue number ten. Still on sale, as we speak.
