This is the sixth appearance on the blog featuring these heroic siblings.
They first appeared together in STF #505...
Next, they had a twisted family reunion in STF #1387...
which continued into the next issue, STF #1388...
Then they visited their parents in STF #1877...
And the last time, they ran afoul of gangs in STF #2625...
In fact, I think it's time they get their own label: Hawkeye/Huntress...

ReplyDeleteI wish there was some way to easily find all of the different crossover relationships you've created in your universe.

That's easy dude. Look for the Family Hour label.
If Hawkeye ever becomes Clint Barton Wayne, would that mean he has his own CW network?

ReplyDelete@Anonymous: I'm for it!
ReplyDeleteFirst, welcome back to the siblings. They're always a special treat, as are all your devilishly clever family connections.
ReplyDeleteBut this is a particularly smooth looking cover. I hadn't noticed in their previous teamups how colour coordinated their costumes are! Even the villain is doing his evil best to colour match
(On the subject of your repeating combos, can I say once again how much I'd love a return to what could have been the most potent combination of all - Spidey in the Batcave, convinced Bruce (Batman) Wayne was his long-lost Dad. So much potential there! And it brought together arguably the two most iconic superheroes of the two most iconic comic companies! Please give us another instalment of that. Spiderman and Batman together. Webbing all over the Batcave! And if Bats is Spidey's papa, who could Bruce's be? Maybe... Sherlock Holmes? Zorro? The Phantom? Doc Savage?
I forget about this pair within days of each appearance, and yet each time I find their appearance welcome. It may be, in part, because purple is my favorite color, but the archery thread also makes things interesting.
ReplyDeleteAs for their tag, personally I would've gone with H&H, and of course that would've been as clear as mud. That said, I think you've generally kept with the contemporary tradition* of putting the woman's name first (as with WW/Cap), so more appropriate here would be Huntress/Hawkeye.
As for finding "all of the different crossover relationships," maybe you could pile a bunch of them on in #3100 just so they're all in one place somewhere. For bonus points, each pairing could be put up against some third-party villain (I think it'd be fun to see these two dealing with the Evil Midnight Bomber What Bombs at Midnight, the Strange Brothers could land on the Planet of the Apes, etc.)
Random bizarre thought: Bizarro Superman #1 with Man-Spider. Both flawed replicants of iconic heroes, featured in a story echoing the first M/DC crossover.
@Dave: We pretty much know about Bruce Wayne's parents, including (I think) his mother's maiden name, but his grandparents are a different story. One of his grandmothers' maiden names could easily have been Walker or Reid. Of course, the former would make him second cousins with Hellcat (in the STF-verse), and the latter with the Green Hornet!
*This tradition is probably most visible in figure skating; in pairs and ice dancing, the woman's name is always listed before the man's.

Yeah, but...it would HAVE to be a 3 ring binder cause of all the changes that occur thru time. Best way to keep up to date with them.
Well as Hal Jordan might say: "Where there's will power, there's a way."
ReplyDeleteCG, That does have a certain ring to it.
ReplyDelete@Horsefeathers and Carycomic: Simon Sez... "I agree."
