Cannonball and The Ray

 

When you count the Brave and the Bold and Marvel Two-In-One covers that I began with, this marks the 5000th cover on the blog!

Here are another two heroes that have power sets that go well together.  Place them in a story that requires their special talents and you would have a fast paced page turner on your hands.

  2. Congrats on your 5000th cover in general! And, as usual, you've blended the different pieces of real-world artwork together quite seamlessly. Although, I must confess, I always found the in-flight version of the modern Ray a little disconcerting. More Sunspot of the New Mutants given a fast-ball special by Colossus!

  3. P.S.---I also love the new color-coding. Wakes a person up faster than caffeine, itself ! :-)

  4. Yes! This is a brilliant pairing that I never would've come up with myself. And the visual is perfect!

  5. A superhero team of royalty would be interesting. Like Black Panther, Namor, Black Bolt, Wonder Woman, Geo-Force and Amethyst, Princess of Gemworld. These are all marvel and dc characters, but i think you see where my brain went when i thought of a team of different royals.

  8. Congrats on the milestone! And these flying poses/effects go together so well, it's like they were always meant to team-up! Amazing work, old buddy!

  9. I think Shamus has a decent idea there. You can call the team The Rulers. Princess Projectra, Conan, and He-Man might also be included.

  11. Careful...The Rulers might have a free for all with the Totalitarians & the Overlords.

  12. Suppose you did something different: Judge Dredd is time pushed and meets Sgt Rock.

    1. Dredd does rules. How does he do in the mess of war?

  14. @Tobor: I actually was thinking that an eventual century-issue cover of the Rulers vs the Overlords would be in order.
