Snake Eyes Vs. Bane

 

Usually Bane is a man of few words, but even he has more to say than snake eyes.  I am sure that the action in this tale would make up for the limited conversation within.  

Thor and Lois Lane

 

I've liked the quick moments that we have seen of Rachel Brosnahan's Lois Lane, and I am looking forward to seeing her performance in full when Superman is released to theaters.  I have to give a tip of the hat to the costume designers as well.  Her outfits seem definitely inspired by those that Lois wore on Superman: The Animated Series.

Deathlok and The Demon

These are two characters that I really want to see on the big screen.  Deathlok's appearance on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was low rent and underwhelming, he realy needs a proper chance to shine. Etrigan has never even had a chance at live action.  I bet James Gunn could have a lot of fun with him.

 

Nick Fury and The Six Million Dollar Man

 

I always has a soft spot in my heart for The Six Million Dollar Man.  his show was my first memory of a live action superhero after all. I even had the action figure.  I think that Steve Austin would fit right in with an agency like S.H.I.E.L.D.

Wolverine and OMAC

 

Logan could also be described as a one man army corps, so this is a pairing that I think could work well.  Now that I see them side by side, it makes me wonder - did Jack Kirby ever draw Wolverine for Marvel?  I can't think of a time he did, let me know if I am forgetting an issue.

Cloak & Dagger and The Question

 

This seems like a natural combination.  Vic Sage is known for investigation the city's biggest mysteries, and the disappearance of Cloak would certainly fit the bill.

Deadman and Tarzan

 

If I saw this on the stands I might wonder how Boston Brand found himself working alongside the King of the Apes. The chance to see this offbeat pairing illustrated by the legendary Neal Adams would be enough for me to want to pick it up, however.

The Atom and Black Goliath

 

These two would certainly eventually run into one another on the battlefield, if not in a laboratory setting.  It's only natural that they would cross paths, and I'm betting that they would work very well together.

Hawkman & Hawkwoman and Lady Sif & The Warriors Three

 

For the concluding chapter of this Three-Part Epic, it looks like we have all hands on deck to take on the menace of Earth-STF's greatest menace - Mr. Universe!  Let's hope their combined efforts can finally put him away for good.  He's a tough one though, you never know when he will pop up next!

The Warriors Three and Hawkman

 

For the middle part of our Three-Part Epic, it looks like Hawkwoman and Lady Sif have gone missing!  It's a good thing they arranged for some back up for just such an occasion.  Make sure you return here tomorrow for the thrilling conclusion!

Hawkwoman and Lady Sif

 

Uh oh!  It looks like Mr. Universe,  the arch villain of the STF universe, has returned!  This time out, he is vexing two of comicdom's greatest warrior women.  As the cover indicates, the adventure is just beginning - Who will show up in part two?  Make sure to come by tomorrow to find out!

Robin and The New Warriors

 

This is another cover which required a lot of de-cluttering and extension before I could add in any new elements.  Here is a look at the behind the scenes process: 

The Rocketeer and Iron Man (The Movie!)

 

What if Iron Man survived using the Infinity Gauntlet, and it was he who chose to return the stones throughout history?  Perhaps we could have seen an adventure like this!  The Rocketeer and Iron Man faced off against Godzilla in STF #538...

Plastic Man and She-Hulk

 

I can see an ex-con like Eel O'Brien having a few encounters with a superhero lawyer.  It would be cool to see these two in action together.

Calvin and Hobbes Vs. Darkseid

 

The ruler of Apokolips really needs to lighten up a bit.  Will a beach day with these two do the trick?  I doubt it, but it would be fun to watch.

Blind Justice in: "When Destiny Calls!"

 

For the second outing featuring this team of sightless heroes, I thought that I would have them run into a member of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants who uses a different type of vision.  But just what does she see in the group's future? Blind Justice first appeared in STF #2290...

The Spirit and The Hulk

 

Denny Colt is known for getting himself out of tough situations, but he may have met his match here.  Let's hope that he can convince the jade giant to work with him against a common enemy!

Machine Man and Green Arrow & Black Canary

 

One of the things that I hope to see in James Gunn's DCU is the relationship between Green Arrow and Black Canary.  Arrow touched upon it, but that series was much more interested in the archer's feelings for Felicity Smoak.  I think that Gunn is a fan of the characters, so hopefully he has some plans up his sleeve.

Black Panther and The Flash

 

I always like team ups in which the heroes would swap villains.  I thought it was time to present another one of those here.  Something tells me that Kraven and The Trickster have bitten off a bit more than they can chew here, however!

Jonah Hex in The Wild Wild West

 

This is a suggestion that comes from not one, but two Patrons of this Blog - Jeff O'Hare and Ivan Shablotski.  I never caught the series back in the day, but from what I know about it, Jonah Hex would have been an interesting addition.  I can only imagine what he would make of James West and his contraptions. 

Captain Marvel and Howard the Duck

Captain Marvel is no stranger to talking animals as allies, and has his own roster of bizarre villains, so a team up with Howard The Duck wouldn't seem all that out of place for him.  I think that a writer could have a lot of fun telling this tale.

 

Bugs Bunny and The Lord of the Rings

 

Bugs Bunny dug his way into a lot of interesting locales in the cartoons that I watched and enjoyed as a kid.  It might have been fun to see him find himself smack dab in the middle of of Tolkein's world. Sauron wouldn't know what hit him.

Moon Knight Vs. Solomon Grundy

 

Moon Knight is no stranger to battling supernatural adversaries, so this match up seems right up his alley to me.  Who comes out as the victor here?  I guess it all depends on what incarnation of Grundy we are dealing with.

Velma and Marcie in The House of Mystery

 

When Marc Tyler Nobleman, comics' historian and Patron of this blog, suggested a Velma and Marcie pairing on this blog, I knew just where I would set a tale featuring them.  Thanks for the inspiration, Marc!

Starfire and Doc Samson

 

Can even Dr. Leonard Samson help these battling Tamaranians find some common ground, or would he just get caught up in their ongoing feud? I don't know, but it would be fun to read about!

Justice League of America and Captain America

 

Captain America first encountered the JLA way back in STF #250..., an early MS Paint effort.  It looks like his investigation there took a dark turn, leading to this long-overdue sequel!

Katana and Iron Fist in "The Sacred Temple!"

 

Katana and Iron Fist have fought together before on the blog.  They battled Davos in STF #1997, and first the killers of K'un L'un in STF #3104. This time, they seem to have run afoul of the Foreground Sword Guys!

Doctor Fate and Conan

 

I was more a fan of traditional superhero fare than I was of sword and sandals epics like Conan.  Still, his stories seemed to attract some of the greatest artists in the industry.  That was enough for me to want to check out an adventure here and there. John Buscema and others truly created some gorgeous artwork when contributing to the genre.

Batman Vs. The Green Goblin in: "Breaking the Vow!"

 

Norman Osborne enjoys going after a hero mentally as well as physically, so I can see him pulling out all the stops to mess with Brice Wayne's head.  Batman first faced off against The Green Goblin on an MS Paint B&B cover way back in 2011...

Fantastic Four and Amanda Waller

 

This is an example of where I had an image to use, but the printing quality on it was low. In those cases, I have to "recolor" through use of the clone stamp tool.  It can be time consuming, but it is a necessary step for a cohesive cover.  Wouldn't you know it, for this particular splash page, I did find a nice crisp clear image of it just a couple of days after I had completed the cover!  I could have saved myself a lot of time if I had found that sooner!  Here's a look at the behind the scenes progress:
