Firestorm and The Silver Surfer

 

I enjoyed creating yesterday's all-Kirby cover, so I decided to try another one today.  I think that this would be a powerful team up - cosmic power and nuclear power up against an unstoppable, hideous creature... sign me up!

  1. First, "Death-dealer of the Dead Seas." and now "Soul Siphon"?! I've said this before, Ross, but---with your brilliant gift for alliterative villain names--you are criminally under-employed by the professional comic book publishers.

  2. When I saw who was on this cover, I was wondering what your point of discussion would be. I never would've suspected that it was "just because." Well, that's as good of a reason as any!

    Cary has a good point, though. If DC and Marvel were to formalize a crossover imprint (Amalgam or otherwise), they could do far worse than to hire you as editor-in-chief or some other sort of creative executive.

  4. I didn't think Kirby had ever drawn Firestorm, but I recognized the square face style instantly.

    Another story that looks fun to read.

  6. Speaking of all-Kirby covers, it seems like DC's Guardian has only really shared covers here with Captain America. I get it, their natural counterparts with the shields and all, but isn't it time to mix it up a smidgen?

  7. That Kirby Firestorm was probably from a "Super Powers" mini. I loved his art, by and large, but his Firestorm never worked for me.

  9. @PromoRob: I'll take a Kirby Firestorm over a Robbins & Springer Batman, any day.

    If you had Kirby's Silver Surfer, Mister Miracle, Captain America, Firestorm, Hulk, and OMAC would you have Jack's Of All Trades?

  11. How about a certain half-Contraxian superhero aiding Sora, Kairi, and Mickey Mouse on their latest quest? I can see it now.

    "Jack of Kingdom Hearts!"
