Time for another all-Kirby cover. I think this would be an interesting match up. Not only would is supply cool action sequences, it might be interesting to juxtapose the different leadership styles between these two rulers. The difference of loyalty gained through respect rather than fear may be what turns this tide of battle.
the Best Villain Kirby created against the strange mixture of magic ( herbs & African Gods ) and wakandan technology of the Early Kirby version of the Black Panther.. an interesting challenge for the writer of this tale. one is left wondering who would Guest star ,
ReplyDeleteForever People or Jimmy Olsen and the Newsboys ?
"Tide Of Battle!" That would be a good title for a movie poster featuring Mera (played by the Redhead Who Mustn't be Named) taking on Kang the Conqueror (played by Jonathan Majors). Or would that be too exploitative?
ReplyDeleteIf so, how about Kang vs. General Zod, instead?
The one played by Michael Shannon, I mean.
ReplyDelete@Cary: Never mind exploitative; a photo cover with Jonathan Majors and She Who Must Not Be Named would be downright disturbing.
ReplyDeleteI'd much rather see something with Aiden Gallagher and Millie Bobby Brown.
IIRC, Christopher Priest's Black Panther had contingency plans for Galactus, so this might not be such a one-sided battle in favor of the villain as one might think.
ReplyDeleteIf Batman can have contingency plans based on heroes and villains he meets, then his Marvel counterpart can do pretty much the same based on a country of money, new minds to tap and praise, and materials from outer space.
ReplyDeleteDarkseid is that perpetual 23 year old who wants to forever prove how strong and powerful he is. Only thing is, just as there were old gods, the new gods could find unexpected surprises as well. Mr D may not lose, but may not win always either.
By the way, anyone see Lamount? Hope he can answer the unasked question..Who is Darkseid's Shadow?
Speaking of dark sides, I was anticipating that--in honor of Father's Day--your cover would depict something involving Darth Vader! But, Darkseid of Apokolips is _almost_ as good.
