The Scarlet Witch will have her own mini series with the Vision on Disney's upcoming streaming service, which sound pretty cool. When will we see Clea though? Although a Doctor Strange sequel has been announced, I haven't heard confirmation that the character will appear. I hope she will though, she was a big part of the Doctor Strange comics I read growing up.
The Coven first assembled in STF #920...
Poses like that are why I love Zatana's outfit and that it is a feminine version of her father's makes it even better.
ReplyDeleteI think I suggested this a few years ago, but it would be great to see the wicked Witch of the West and J'onn J'onzz.
ReplyDelete"Martian, want to play ball?"
WOW! Excellent compilation, Ross. The only way you might possibly surpass this is if you depicted a catfight, for your Mother's Day issue, between TWW and Endora (Agnes Moorehead)! Like, say, over the former giving all witches a cosmetically bad name for far too long?
ReplyDeleteWhere did the artwork for the wicked with come from? Also, does she have a label? I couldn't see one.
ReplyDeleteWhen's Willow Rosenberg gonna join? ��
ReplyDeleteIt's from a poster by JC Richard
ReplyDeleteLove his TV commercials.
ReplyDelete"It's J. C. Richaaaaaaard!"
Conceivably, this story could conclude with Glenda joining the Coven. I'd kind of like to see Jeannie as a part of the group as well, or at least be a part of a story if she's the wrong kind of magic-user. A future story could pit the group against the White Witch of Narnia.
ReplyDeleteDo you mean Glinda, the Witch of the South from Oz, rather than Glenda, one of the friends of Jason Blood?
Delete...or the White Witch from the Legion of Super-Heroes...
ReplyDeleteor any of the Charmed sister or the lead character from Wicked???
how do you do it so grandly all the time Ross????
Lots of good suggestions. I do try to keep the team rosters to a manageable size so the covers don't look like Where's Waldo pages(Not to mention each additional character increases the difficulty).
ReplyDeleteI never understood why the North American publishers renamed Where's Wally to Where's Waldo. If they had kept the original name used in the rest of the English-speaking world, there could have been a great cover with Kid Flash and Wally of Two Worlds.
ReplyDelete@my namesake(s): Or, failing that, how qbout, in honor of National Women's Month, a three-for-all between Shi (Crusade Comics), Vampirella (Warren/Harris/Dynamite), and jade (Chaos!/Dynamite)?
ReplyDelete@Anonymous: Ross might find that next-to-impossible. Considering Crusade went belly-up and Dynamite's relatively new "Chaos!" imprint has yet to even reprint Jade's old comic! Let alone publish further/new adventures of the 4000-year-old vampiric anti-heroine.
ReplyDelete@Anon, re: Glinda: Yes, Glinda, the Witch of the South. Thanks for the catch... This past week I've been really bad at speling.
ReplyDelete@jack-el: I thought about the LSH White Witch, but Ross already has Zatanna and Madame Xanadu from DC, and I think he's set a limit of two from each of the Big Two for these things.
@Ross: Strictly speaking, a "coven" would have a roster of 13. Still, limiting things to 7 for these purposes would seem reasonable, or at least 7 in a particular cover.
Is that Tinkerbell in there?
ReplyDeletewhat about Witchie Poo from the Loonie Tunes cartoons or Sabrina from Archie comics or two live action TV series???
ReplyDeleteSpeling. Nice touch.
ReplyDeletePeter Pan and Wendy, the Good Little Witch?
ReplyDelete@jack-el: or Witchipoo (H. R. Puf'nstuf) and Rita Repulsa (...Power Rangers)?
ReplyDeleteRichard: Tink is sitting on Zee's left elbow.
ReplyDeletejack-el and last Anon: Sabrina might be a decent fit, but the others you mention are all villains (at least technically). And the witch in the Loony Toons cartoons is called Witch Hazel.
@Jack-El: Bob is right. Witchiepoo was the main antagonist, played by actress Billie Hayes, from the live-action Sid & Marty Kroft production H.R. PUFNSTUF (starring the late, great Jack Wilder as Jimmy). While Witch Hazel was a Bugs Bunny foil character voiced by the late, great June Foray!
ReplyDeleteOK, i was wrong about Witch Hazel from the Tunes... i stand corrected.... but now i pitch a new idea.... The Dark Coven comprised of the villainous witches from comics, cartoons, film and TV....
ReplyDeletethe previously mentioned Witchiepoo and Witch Hazel and Rita Repulsa and the Wicked Witch of the West along with...
Ursala the Sea Witch...
Madam Mim from the Sword in the Stone....
some version of Morgan le Fey...
Klarion the Witch Boy by Jack Kirby...
from Sabrina the Teenage Witch original TV show Pen Gillette as the Head Warlock...
Endora from TV or movie version of Bewitched....
(was the Sea Hag from Popeye a Witch???)
just some further thoughts on the subject...
and on the GOOD Coven...
ReplyDeleteWendy the Good Little Witch...
from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, both Willow and Tara...
@Jack-el: yes, she was. And voiced by the same legendary character actress who did Olive Oyl's voice. Mae Questel!
ReplyDeleteIn addition to also doing the voice of Betty Boop (both originally and recreated for a cameo/homage in WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT?), she did live-action stuff ranging from the "Aunt Bluebell" paper towel commercials of the Seventies; to her final film role--as the somewhat senile great-aunt married to William Hickey--in NATIONAL LAMPOON'S CHRISTMAS VACATION.
Why is Solomon Kaine green?
ReplyDeleteMaybe he drank too much stout. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHe's a Fanatical Puritan he doesn't imbibe.
ReplyDeleteYeah, right. And Richard Nixon was never a crook.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous know your Robert E. Howard.
ReplyDeleteI know he was born in Peaster, Texas, but later raised in Cross Plains. That he was part of "The Lovecraft Circle" by virtue of corresponding with that other Howard on the pros and cons of barbarianism vs. civilized society. And that he committed suicide before he was 31.
ReplyDeleteSufficient unto the day thereto?
Great cover and a great group! How about a sequel including Samantha Stevens (BEWITCHED), Jeannie Nelson (I DREAM OF JEANNIE), Willow Rosenberg (BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER), Sabrina, Scarlet Witch and Zatanna?
