This marks the fifth appearance of the Herc/Vixen romance, so I thought that it was time that they received their own tag. Vixen is at last finally giving the smitten demigod a chance - let's hope he doesn't blow it. Time (and future covers) will tell if she starts to truly reciprocate his feelings.
A cliff hanger of a first date? "Let's go for a stroll up the side of this mountain."
ReplyDeleteGood Intentions?? Has Herc been there before or just going by its reputation? I doubt a second date.
That's why Herc's old man was always getting into trouble with Hera. Zeus had _too_ good a view of all those mortal hotties! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping that Herc doesn't so much as blow things, as just get to a point where he'll accept Mari letting him down gently. Then perhaps Herc could pursue someone like Nubia or maybe Isis.
ReplyDeleteTangentially, I'm still hoping to see Vixen and Spider-Man in an adventure together, what with their mutual connection to Anansi.
And, totally unrelated, how about Planet of the Marvel Apes?
(Or, for something truly bizarre, Sailor Moon and the Shadow!)
@Cary: You'd almost think she'd suggest moving somewhere "safer," like Asgard.
STF #2137 featured a Spidey/Vixen story.
ReplyDeleteJust on the sounds of their names, how about Vixen and the Marvel's main android, possibly vs. someone like Multiplex. The Vixen, the Vision, and Division.
ReplyDeleteVerily, let us "meet the folks", as the mortals say!
ReplyDelete@my namesake @ 12:53: Or, failing that, how about the Vixen vs. Mandrill? I'd love to see if the Tantu Totem would allow her to secrete stronger pheromones than he does!
ReplyDelete@Anonymous: That might be an interesting confrontation, indeed. Especially as Ross has yet to use Mandrill, here! Which, in turn, is why I second the motion. :-)
ReplyDeleteP.S. @ Bob Greenwade: Nah! Odin would be too leery of Zeus' reputation and tell both Olympians to get the Frigga out!
ReplyDelete@Ross: Yes, though as I pointed out at the time, it doesn't touch on the Anansi connection. Seriously, Vixen and Spidey could have an ongoing partnership based on that alone -- for that matter, you could even toss Mari into the Spider-Verse to meet Madame Web, Spider-Gwen, Spider-Punk, Sp//dr, and of course Spider-Ham.
ReplyDeleteNot sure you got enough credit for the great title on this one, Ross.
ReplyDeleteDad joke of the month, easily.
What Mr. Daley said. :-)
