Spider-Man and Krypto



OK, we've seen Chewie/Goose/Flerken make his big screen debut, it's high time that Krypto gets his moment to shine.  I guess DC felt like there's no room for such a character with their dead serious take on the Man of Steel, but hopefully they have since learned their lesson about keeping the whimsical side of comics out of their movies.  I thought we might at least see Krypto on TV's Supergirl, but no sign of the Pooch of Power there, either.

Maybe he's exploring fire hydrants in other dimensions with Lockjaw. Which would be a nice, whimsical cover for depiction, here, in its own right!*



*I got the idea from your latest anti-robot test. ;-)

KRYPYTO was teased in the last episode of Titans.

What in the name of JJ Jameson is going on with Spidey's legs? Is his left knee double jointed? And his right thigh must be super bendy as well, to jut out to the side but still have his foot pointing down like that. (It all looks very uncomfortable!)

I love this cover (despite Dr. OTR's point, which of course has nothing to do with your work, Ross).

I also love Cary's suggestion. Perhaps a few other non-anthropomorphized (or only slightly so) canines could be a part of the adventure as well: Dynomutt, Scooby Doo, Snoopy, etc.

Interestingly, I'd just been thinking that it was about time for the Legion of Super-Pets to meet up with the Pet Avengers. If that cover could echo something from the JLA/Avengers miniseries, I'd be especially thrilled.

@Bob Greenwade: to quote a certain old beer commercial?

"BRILLIANT!"

Regarding Bob's suggestion, we have seen Scooby team with Ace The Bathound in his crossover comic, so a Scooby/Krypto team-up isn't that far fetched. (No pun intended.)

A(spider) boy and his dog. ;-)

I really like the shot but would love to see someone super grim doing it next time like Thanos or Doc Strange.

Scooby has teamed with Krypto in that comic -- with the whole 'Space Canine Patrol Agency' (plus G'Nort), in fact -- too...

This just occurred to me: a response for Krypto on this cover.

"Yep! There's a Chinese cooking supply store right on the other side of town..."

And two seconds later, that Superdog was hungry, again.
