For this Anniversary Issue, I thought I would go with a theme of villain team-ups. I was delighted to see Frog-Man appear in the trailer for Disney's She-Hulk: Attorney at Law series. I can't wait to see how he is realized and I love that Marvel is digging deep into their character files for the show. I can't help but laugh that Frog-Man will show up in the MCU before Mephisto, who remains a no show after multiple rumors.
Maybe Mephisto has been the friends we meet along the way the whole time.
ReplyDeleteHa! Ross, I remember buying this comic of the Secret Society of Super-Villains at a garage sale as a kid. I think it was in the DC Special series or something similar. It is great when I can remember reading some of the comics that you use for your Team-Ups. It a bit like reliving some of my childhood. Keep up the great work!

What Ordinaryguy2 said.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the nostalgia, Ross! :-)
What everybody else.

Agreeing with everything else, plus:
ReplyDeleteThe Rogues will regret this.
Now I want to see a team up between the dastardly villains Condiment King and Brick Frog.
ReplyDeleteSay, shouldn’t that read,”Leap-Frog is recruited by the Rogues!” Frogman is the wannabe hero son of Leap-Frog the silver age daredevil villain
ReplyDeleteSay, speaking of the Rogues, there aren't a lot of single-hero rogues' galleries who have a literal name for themselves. The closest one that comes to mind in Marvel is the Sinister Six. Maybe some future cover can feature a pairing (either teaming up, tag-teaming, or fighting) between these two groups.
ReplyDelete"Secret Society of Single Super-villains?"
ReplyDelete"Single Super-Villains Unlimited?"
Nah! You're right, Bob. Those sound too much like match-making services.
Batman and Daredevil VS Joker and Jester? That would be a great story!
ReplyDeleteDear Google: this is Carycomic. Legitimately! :P
ReplyDeleteExtravaganza extraordinary!
ReplyDeleteI'd read this comic.
ReplyDeleteI'd PAY to read this comic.
Kid brother: "Dave; what's 'extravaganza' mean?"
ReplyDeleteBig brother: "It's when you buy one vaganza at the regular price, you get an extra vaganza for free!"
3700! Incredible Ross! I feel the power of evil coursing through me already!
ReplyDeleteThis means... less than a year until #4000!!!
ReplyDeleteWell, let's see.
ReplyDelete#3800; circa September 8, 2022.
#3900; circa December 17, 2022.
#4000; circa March 27, 2023!!!!
Mr. Greenwade? You're a genius. :-)
@Cary: Not so much. It was 300 days until #4000, and there are 365 days in a year, so it was easy. (Plus, my IQ's only 133, which is 7 shy of officially being a "genius," in that sense.)
ReplyDeleteReminds me of an old riddle: Why should you never eat more than 239 baked beans?
ReplyDeleteI especially like The Joker Joins the Jester!
ReplyDeleteI wonder how Shadow Thief would do against Warlord Kaa?
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Deadman could stay in charge of Silver Age Carl Sands in Shadow Thief mode?
ReplyDelete@Cary: only the Shadow Thief knows. ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhat I'd truly like to know is if Dr. Spectrum was sent after Sinestro on the orders of his Lady-and-Mistress Star Sapphire?
