Supergirl and Spider-Woman are about to hit the big screen, although as variants in each case. Issa Rae will be voicing Spider-Woman Jessica Drew from another universe in Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse, and then a couple of weeks later Sasha Calle will star as an other dimensional Supergirl in The Flash. From what I have seen, both look to be impressive. Still, I hope we will get to see the versions we know from the comics in the theaters at some point down the line.
Supergirl and Spider-Woman previously met trying to avoid becoming super-villain brides in STF #2555...
Hmmmm! That structure at the top looks like the sail of an ancient Roman galley. And the tower, itself, resembles a frozen waterspout! Are we, perhaps, looking at a hydrokinetic construct of some kind? That is; telekinetically hardened water a la Silver Age Mera's people, the Xbellians? Perhaps even Mera's villainous Silver Age twin sister Hila and her lover Kan-Dor?
ReplyDeleteI mean, let's face it. Nobody--least of all, comic book Mera--has "Heard" of them since the end of Aquaman's original mag.* But, post-Doomwatch, the DC metaverse might now be composed of up to 52 multiverses! So, it's conceivable that readers might be hearing from them, again.
*Yes, Mr. Greenwade, the pun was intended. ;-D
Given that she's wearing the Early Silver Age costume, I would speculate that the events depicted on this cover predate STF #152 (where the Danvers sisters reunited for the first time). A not-unreasonable guess seeing as how Ms. Marvel's costume, from that period, is almost contemporaneous with Spider-Woman's costume!
ReplyDeleteThe next crossover should be Monster Allergy and The Maxx
ReplyDeleteOr even and Hellboy and Monster Allergy one.
Delete@Cary: To me, the building looks more like a mansion with a sign or billboard mounted on top or nearby; I think it says "DISTO.""
ReplyDeleteAs for the pun... #AwfulReferenceHaveATunaSlap
I'm guessing that the background, as well as the image of Supergirl, was originally from a Supergirl-Batgirl team-up.
ReplyDelete@Bob: I thought it might be the name of the self-styled Roman personage. Like "Distopia Rex: Empress of Chaos!"
ReplyDeleteP.S.---tuna has too much mercury in it, these days. Give me a grilled cheese-with-bacon slap, instead. ;-D
@Bob and Cary: I think maybe it says "DISCO". These images are likely from the 1970s, so it could make sense.

It’s originally from Spider-Woman #17.
A disco with an extended balcony? Not in the city?? Sounds normal. Linda Lee could have been there all innocent while Spider-Woman was undercover investigating. They
ReplyDeletecatch her, throw her off an unused area.....unused area?? Good luck finding that.
The balcony was closed...can't Spider-Woman glide? Supergirl hears something and her X-ray vision does the rest. Now, who's doing it is a whole different issue.
i hope Ms Drew wasn't feeling embarrassed about being a pushover. Happens to the best of crime fighters.
@Daviticus: Now that you've said it, I believe you're right.
ReplyDeleteNice one Ross, now can you do a cover with Gwenpool and Lana Lang Superwoman?
ReplyDeleteIsaac
Or maybe Stripperella could go to Coruscant: "Star Whores!"
ReplyDeleteLow-priority request: a photo-sim cover with the Guardians of the Galaxy and the Legends of Tomorrow.
How about Stripperella meets Batman '92?
ReplyDelete@Carycomic: working undercover(s)? ;-D
ReplyDeleteI'd rather see a mistake identity slugfest between Hellboy and Mr. Monster.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds good but i would like Monster Allergy ti get the spot light for once
DeleteThat poor man's version of manga from Italy?
ReplyDeleteMonster Allergy night be a "poor man's version of manga from Italy" but it isn't bad and it's worth to check it out.
