Tigra and Cat-Man (Part 6 of 7)

 

In the penultimate chapter of our week-long tale, we see that the master that Tigra was referring to is none other that the villainous Ringmaster!  No wonder these sworn enemies are working together again.  Let's hope they can get out from under his thrall in time for tomorrow's final chapter!

"Are you a God?"
Why Yes.
Damn straight.

In the immortal words of a certain beer commercial?

"BRILLIANT!"

:-D

Tomorrow's cover will have to go a long way to _top_ this. My _hat_ is off to you...you old son of a pun!

Let us take a moment to remember one of the greats today. R.I.P Neal Adams.

Can't wait for the trade paperback to come out.

Ladies and Gentlemen! Presenting the fiercest cat people in captivity! Incredible Ross, the Ringmaster fits in beautifully with the themes you've designed here. This has been a fantastic ride, so I'll definitely stay tuned for tomorrow's finale. And, perhaps... in regards to Anon's comment, some tribute featuring Neal Adam's art might be in the works?

I find it interesting to note (though it's almost certainly irrelevant to the story) that Cat-Man's costume is shown here for the first time in its more modern design, while Tigra's look* has jumped around the timeline somewhat.

Regardless, I'm hoping that tomorrow's finale shows some manipulative mastermind behind events, starting with whatever criminal situation was initially going on in Gotham and including Cat-Man's apparent betrayal. (I think it'd be most magnificent if it turned out to be Pinky & the Brain, though I understand how that's incredibly unlikely. Maybe someday....)

*I'd still love for Cheetah to confront Tigra: "Why do you even bother with the bikini?"

PS: I know that they met, from the comment on yesterday's entry. At the time, though, Cheetah was pre-transformation; this would require a re-meet after that event.

I remember Mar-Vell taking on a male Cheetah, along with a Kree Sentry years ago, but I haven't seen him since. Pinky and the Brain? Maybe. I was holding out for the Cheshire Cat for a short time, but there seems to be a lot more at stake here. Now I'm wondering if it could be the Collector, or maybe even the High Evolutionary who is behind all this.

I'm still holding out for Mr. Greenwade's other suggestion...Esteban Carracus vs. Barbara Ann Minerva in "Cheetahs Never Prosper."

@Anon743: thanks for relaying the message.

@Anon@3:08: I don't think I'm the one who first suggested that pairing, though I might have come up with the title.
