Solomon Grundy Vs. Venom

 

Undead mobster versus unhinged symbiote - who wins this battle?  I guess it all depends on which iteration of Grundy that we are talking about, as his personality and power level can vary from rebirth to rebirth.

I need to know: Could Deadman possess Man-Thing? That'd be an interesting story. And I want to see it here.

That last line may have come off as too pushy, I don't know.

But, are you 4-Imprint uncertain?

OK! Being serious, now. I don't know who to root for. Most of Grundy's post-Golden Age depictions have treated him as a half-plant/half-zombie version of the 1970's Hulk. Mentally child-like,
thus emotionally unpredictable. Whereas the Klyntarian portion of Venom is merely an extra-terrestrial organism who just NEEDS to symbiotically bond with someone/something else the way a junkie needs drugs. Eddie Brock, as a journalist who became disgraced through certain unethical (and not-quite-involuntary) actions, is the least sympathetic of the three characters.

That being said, I'll have to keep my fingers crossed that Cyrus keeps his gold (#semi-adequatepun/keepthecookie).

I could see Hourman & Dr. Fate ( Kent Nelson ) sitting on a Tree branch with a big tub of Popcorn and making professional wrestling commentary…

I want to see Venom cover Solomon in hopes of getting to his mind.
Watching the telly and saw Captain Marvel, the Marvel title holder. That title has more users and miles on it than a GL power ring.
H.H. HORSEFEATHERS with very low mileage

Don't think Solomon is much different than Bizarro in the memory dept. so it may be a futile try by Venom.The detail art is great though. But Ross, 3 AM?? Really?? WOW!!

Detective Tobor said...

Then again, a solemn Solomon could be a new rebirth to try out.

Carycomic said...

And I can just imagine the title Ross would give: "Just Another Manic Grundy!"

Carycomic said...

As in, "...reborn on a Monday" ?

One of your best combo covers ever & one of 2024's best too. Well done sir.

Speaking of Solomon Grundy, I'd like to see a 13 part Legion Of Doom adventure (against 11 Marvel heroes ala '78 Super Friends numbers) on here someday. It would be a blast to "read" about. It's time to move on from 3 & 4 part epics to bigger & better things. Dream big. Go big.

^ Maybe as an annual "12 days of Xmas" gift type theme to your devoted fans every Dec. perhaps? I bet you still have time for this year's Dec. if you hurry.

I admire your enthusiasm Shamus & concur. I'd like to see Deadman & Man-Thing team-up on here soon. Also can Aquaman/DC Atlanteans control him with his aquatic telepathy since he's an aquatic creature of some sort? These questions need answered here in this combo universe. Any others?

Hey! That's an idea. Starman (Ted Knight, Mikkel Tomas, or the switch-hitter) vs. Marvel's Zodiac!
