The 14th appearance of the MK/EM Team already? I'd say this pairing is ready for their cartoon debut! After all, while both characters have shown up as cameos on different animated shows, neither has really had a chance to shine in that format yet.
There's definitely a cool moody mystery tale that could be told with these two. Deadman has been rumored to be in the works for inclusion in the DCU, and I hope to hear more on that soon. I enjoyed Man-Thing's MCU introduction and hope that we have not seen the last of him there.
I am thankful today for all of the visitors to this blog who have sent feedback, comments and suggestions, and I hope that all are having a wonderful day today.
This is another match up that has been long overdue on this blog. The intellect of Tony Stark up against the AI evil of Brainiac seems like a natural. Let's hope his run-ins with Ultron have taught the Armored Avenger a few tricks to use here.
Something tells me that if there were to be a crisis in the Marvel Multiverse, it would star with the Squadron Supreme's Earth. It would be interesting to see if they would have fared any better against the Anti-Monitor's forces than DC's Crime Syndicate did.
For the 17th Appearance of The Danvers Twins on this blog, I thought that I would put them up against two of the toughest bruisers in comics. I'm thinking that and action packed issue like this one would have to include some epic splash pages and at least one double page spread.
I'm kind of surprised I haven't had these two meet before, given their names. The toughest part of this cover was extending Moon knight's Cape. Here's a look behind the scenes.
It would be cool to see these two cinema icons face off. Both of them are determined, resourceful fighters. There is of course a difference in opinion regarding the use of firearms. It would be an explosive movie, to be sure.
I mainly like seeing these two together because they have a couple of my favorite costumes. I think there could be an interesting story involving them both, though. It might be a strained working relationship, but it would be fun to watch play out.
Would Animal Man be able to take on the properties of a werewolf? If so, what kind of effect would that have on his psyche? It might be interesting to find out!
Ant-Man and The Wasp received their Power Rings in STF #3993, and I thought it was time to send them on a mission. What better Green Lantern to join them than the diminutive yet daring Xax? Let's hope they can keep one step ahead of the ferocious feline Red Lantern!
Seeing Ghostbusters and Superman II in the theater as a kid are two of my favorite movie memories. I wanted to find a way to combine those two franchises and the using Phantom Zone villains seemed like the way to do it.
This is an example of a cover where I had an image that I wanted to use, but which needed to be cleaned up first. sometimes I can't get a nice clean digital image and elements of the page behind it bleed through, so I have to get to work. Here's a look at the behind the scenes progress:
For this Anniversary Issues, I thought I would go for a full issue throwdown between DC's brightest and Marvel's most vile. You see the match ups here - do the world's greatest super-heroes stand a chance?
This is another cover that looks relatively simple, but required a bit of prep work. I had to remove and replace Nexus's targets prior to adding Frank Castle in. Here is a look at the behind the scenes progress:
I thought it would be fun to have the original stretching hero cross paths with one of the newer kids on the block. It might be interesting to see Plas in a mentor role. He's been given a son in the comics, but that's still a side of him that we haven't seen enough of.
This cover required a bit of background extension and repair before I could add in Dr. Fate and the JLA Satellite. Here's a look at the behind the scenes progress:
I have mentioned before on this blog that my favorite cover artists for Marvel and DC are Gil Kane and Nick Cardy, respectively. If you were to ask me who my favorite cover artist for non-Marvel and DC titles, it would have to be Will Eisner. His cover scenes were filled with mood, action and great character design. Plus, his utilization of text and logos as part of the art always made them special.
This is another team up that I feel has been long overdue. I can see these two working very well together. I just cut the cord, so I will have to wait to watch the final episodes of Superman and Lois when they show up on Max, but I am hoping for at least one more big action sequence from Steel.
There's a little too much light pollution where I live, so I don't pull out my telescope to use very often. When I do, I like to check out Jupiter or Saturn if I can, and looking close up at the Moon is always cool. It makes me think about the dark side which never faces us - who's to say there isn't a Blue Area over there, just waiting for a team of heroes to call it it their home base?
Adam Strange first met The Inhumans in STF #4372...
Not a pairing that might immediately come to mind, but one that I would love to see, as Ralph Dibny is one of my favorite everyman heroes, and I like seeing him matched with different characters. Besides, Logan has plenty of mysteries in his life, who's to say he wouldn't call upon the stretchable sleuth for some assistance?
The Phantom Stranger is a character that I would love to see join the DCU. He may not get his own movie or series, but he could be like a spooky Nick Fury in that he could show up in other character's projects at key moments to offer guidance or assistance. I bet it would be a fun role for an actor to portray.
Something tells me that these two would get along pretty well. Even so, it would be fun to watch them in battle with one another. They could really let loose and present a truly spectacular fight scene if the artist assigned to it cuts loose as well.
I've been getting requests for The Totalitarians to return for a third appearance, but it was tricky to find an opponent that could provide a challenge for such a powerful team. Then, I also received some requests for One Punch Man to make his STF debut - he seemed like the prefect choice to up against this villainous team.
If you are going to wear a big initial on your costume, just be sure you are aware of who you are standing next to! Let's hope these guys can get some fashion tips from superherodom's top designer!
The similar color schemes make these two heroes look good together. Captain Marvel has magic based abilities of flight, speed and strength with a nice guy personality and a youthful identity, so he has aspects of Dr. Strange, Thor, Quicksilver, Captain America and Spider-Man all rolled into one - It would be interesting to see Tony Stark's reaction to working with him.
Not a pairing that naturally comes to mind, but Dinah Lance is no stranger to crossing dimensions and Reed Richards works well with blondes, so why not? Besides, the images worked well together and I had the perfect title that I wanted to use!
We've seen stories where Hex moves ahead in time, but I like it when heroes from the future come back to visit him as well. I remember really liking the two part story in Justice League of America #198-199, where the leaguers met a bunch of DC's Western heroes. I would be cool to see the Avengers do the same.
