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?
excellent pairing, clever bit of artwork matching !
ReplyDeleteThere are two such mysteries evident on this cover, already! First; where has Moon Knight (Ralph's more usual partner-in-crime fighting) gone to? And secondly; how did Logan develop enough of a sense of humor to make half-way decent puns?
ReplyDelete@Anon809: MK disappeared after his and Ralph's last team-up in STF #3897. He was probably captured by Bolt and Electro at the cliff-hanging end of STF #4348. On whose behalf, though, is a mystery in itself. Given Wolverine's inclusion, here, my first guess would be...the Living Pharaoh!
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy a good knockdown, drag out fight in both comics and old Republic serials, and the combination of Bolton and Snejbjerg, though completely different art styles, work very good together.
ReplyDeleteI too am wondering about Wolvie. He has enough of a sense of humor to laugh at others' jokes, but cracking wise himself seems out of character. Rather than complain about it, though, it may be something to explore in an ongoing story thread... and the person behind the change would have to be the Joker.
ReplyDelete"The Wolverine Who Laughed!"
DeleteComing soon to the Ross-verse(?).
@Anon608: YES! Now, we NEED that issue!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jared. That's a perfect way of mashing it up.
DeleteI'd love to see this pairing even more considering the contrast of personalities. It would a fun action filled romp for Ralph until Wolverine cuts someone. How would that change the tone of the heroes?
ReplyDeleteThe group mind has said pretty much everything. Ralph & Logan aren't bad but they go in a place to get info...Ralph says hold on Logan, and gets info. Logan gives him this one. NO MORE. .....maybe??
ReplyDeleteWhereupon, Ralph--in trying to stop Logan from doing what he does best-winds up getting a Chinatown pulled on his mystery-twitching nose.
