You must have a fantastic cover ready to go for Halloween because this would have been aces as the showcase for that day! Well done!
I do have an idea for Halloween. which will feature two characters making their STF debut.
I can't wait to see that one, then. As for this one? Awesome!
Makes me wonder if Marvel Apes will meet Tarzan, next?
what a neighborhood! What a house party! Alfred E Neuman dressed as Galactus shows up & they all head towards the exits.
Two characters new to STF? Wonder who they could be__I know ; I'll just go back to the beginning and use process of elimination. *Faints seeing the load of work it entails.*
@det_Tobor: except for the Marvel Ape Zombie known as the Silverback Surfer. MZDD notices the lack of fear and asks him "Are you bananas?!" To which the Surfer replies: What? Me, worry?"
I actually had been hoping for Marvel Zombies versus the Black Lantern Corps for Halloween, but maybe that can happen next year. For this cover, I'll second what Toby and Cary said.
I'll also second Cary's suggestion. Better yet, put the Marvel Apes on the Planet of the Apes!
@MHS: LOL!
Awww I was hoping you'd have Wendy and Casper coming to the door and greet kids dressed as everyone. The other side of town can be just like a convention at night.
@Ross: forgive the digression. But, have you ever depicted the Rutland (Vermont) Halloween Parade on any of your cover sims?
Nope
the Rutland (Vermont) Halloween Parade had the first DC Marvel crossover...
https://comicsalliance.com/rutland-halloween-parade-marvel-dc-crossover/
The parade got off its feet thanks to Tom Fagan, a local reporter and super-fan of comics. With each year that he ran the parade, more comic creators got involved. In fact, Rutland holds the distinction for inspiring the first crossover ever between Marvel and DC Comics.
After visiting the parade, comic book writer Roy Thomas was inspired to set a story there. In Avengers #83, "Come On In, ...The Revolution's Fine!" (Dec. 1970).
THE FIRST EVER MARVEL/DC CROSSOVER
As more comic book creators ventured north, their stories about the parade grew grander. Along with Len Wein and Gerry Conway, Steve Englehart made comic book history by writing the first Marvel/DC crossover (albeit unofficially) by setting it at the Rutland Halloween Parade.
In Englehart's Amazing Adventures #16, "...And the Juggernaut Will Get You... If You Don't Watch Out!" (Jan. 1973) Gerry Conway, Steve Englehart and Len & Glynnis Wein come across Hank McCoy a.k.a. the Beast, on their way to the Rutland Parade. The blue-furred mutant finally gets to town, just in time to stop a rampaging Juggernaut, who has lost control of his powers. He attempts to steal Englehart's car but in intercepted by Beast, and disappears into the woods.
Then in Len Wein's Justice League of America #103, "A Stranger Walks among Us!" (Dec. 1972) the four comic creators make their way to the mansion of Tom Fagan, who is sporting his best Batman costume. The Phantom Stranger leads the Justice League to Rutland, on the suspicion that Felix Faust is attempting to take advantage of a weaker dimensional state and summon ghosts to our reality.
The JLA meet up with Tom, who asks them to ride in the parade. While waving to the crowd, Faust's plan kicks into effect, and the JLA must contend with a town full of citizens gaining the powers of their costumed characters, including Glynnis Wein, who turns into Supergirl, and variations of Spiderman, and Captain America.
Len, Steve and Gerry go after Glynnis, while the Phantom Stranger intervenes to save the League. With his plan foiled, Faust escapes town -- by stealing Englehart's car.
Finally in Gerry Conway's The Mighty Thor #207, "Firesword!" (Jan. 1973), Tom Fagan has switched into into an authentic-looking Nighthawk costume, but has fallen under the mind control of Loki, who is summoning Absorbing Man to destroy the town. Thor, Sif and Hildegard intervene to defeat Absorbing Man and Loki, blinding the trickster god in the process. Loki hears the Faust-driven stolen car of Steve Englehart and rushes after it, but his blind state leads him right off a cliff. Len, Steve and Gerry locate the missing (and now human again) Glynnis, who doesn't quite remember what just happened.
Meanwhile, comic fans had their mind blown after reading the very first DC/Marvel crossover. For Englehart, Wein, and Conway it was the chance to try something new.
Len Wein, Gerry Conway were up there with me, Glynnis Wein was up there -- Gerry and Len and I got sitting around talking about the whole Rutland thing and we figured Denny had done an interesting story and we wondered could we do something interesting with it, and somehow out of that came the crossover."
Most amazingly to Englehart, the crossover idea had modest, yet imaginative motivations. As he elaborated: The idea of doing a crossover between Marvel and DC, I'm not sure anything like that had been done before, but it certainly seemed like a radical concept and we knew that we had to be subtle (laughs) and each story had to stand on its own, but we really worked it out. It's really worthwhile to read those stories back to back to back -- It didn't matter to us that one was at DC and two were at Marvel.
History can really be cool.
But the real surprise is: In the 3 stories, Glynnis Wein was dressed as Supergirl (in her early new costume days). BUT, in the 2 Marvel stories, her character is referred to as POWER GIRL!! This was long before DC had Power Girl as a character.
A Supergirl, named Power Girl in Marvel, became a real permanent character in DC. That has to be the coolest crossover character of all time!
Wouldn't that be the greatest cat fight in the history of the STF-verse? Power Girl vs. Jessica Jones...for the affections of Luke Cage!
I wouldn't mind a ring-side seat. ;-)

Just remember what Max Mercury said about cat-fights...

That they're only for p***ies?

Nope.
That a wise man brings nothing to them except for a comfortable chair and popcorn.

Nah, you guys have it alllll wrong!
Jessica wouldn't need to fight for Luke cause she knows her baby's pop ain't gonna be stupid and wouldn't anyway. Power Girl wouldn't try stealing a guy in a family like that either!
BUTTTTT.. Power Girl says something about Jessica on a professional level...and...yep,, a definite possibility. (especially if Jessica felt she didn't have to hold back and had something to prove to herself.)
About this last discussion... I'm pretty sure Luke isn't married to Jessica in the STF-verse (maybe in the past, but not these days). Otherwise he and Karen wouldn't be dating for so long.
