Power Pack and Robin

 

It's only fitting that these kids cross paths with comicdom's first sidekick.  I'm still waiting to hear details on the planned Batman: The Brave and the Bold movie, and whether Dick  Grayson will plar a role, as Damian is the rumored Robin of that story.

Brother Voodoo and The Phantom Stranger

 

The Phantom Stranger is a character that I really hope shows up on screen in the new DCU.  I can see him showing up as a supporting character in multiple films.  It would be a great role for an actor to have fun with, but who best to cast?

Daredevil and Grendel

 

I feel like these two would go well in a story together. They seem to run in the same circles.  There's definitely a great film noir type story to be told.

Supergirl and Iron Man

 

Now that Superman is available home home viewing, I am expecting the publicity for Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow to start ramping up soon. It will be interesting to see how the film differs from the first DCU entry, despite it featuring another member of the Super family.

Doctor Who on the Planet of the Apes

 

Doctor Who with Tom Baker was appointment television after school when I was growing up. I was also a fan of the short lived Planet of the Apes TV series.  If there had been a crossover between the two, I think that I would have been beside myself.

Blue Beetle and Rom

 

Time for another double dose of Ditko. His skilled design work extended to the various creatures that he would create. This big guy wasn't given a name, so I cam up with one for him.

Mister Miracle and Invisible Girl

 

I hear Vanessa Kirby is a standout as Sue Storm in Fantastic Four: First Steps.  I look forward to seeing what kind of innovative ways she uses her powers in the film, as well as her relationship with Reed, Johnny and Ben.

Peacemaker and The Punisher

 

The new season of Peacemaker will be airing soon on HBO Max.  The first season was surprisingly enjoyable, and it will be very interesting to see how the show changes between the DCEU and James Ginn's new DCU. I'm also dying to see the new opening credits sequence.

Challengers of the Unknown and Rocket Raccoon

 

The Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy may be completed, but I hope that sometime down the line we see the team again.  I liked seeing Rocket Raccoon take his leadership role, and it would be cool to see him calling the shots on a mission.

The Thing and Sandman

 

A deceptively simple looking cover - but it took a lot of caption removal and image replacement before I could add Dream in.  Here is a look behind the scenes:

The Super Visors

 

This team comes directly from the comment section of this blog, right down to the name.  I forget actually who was discussing it, but I wrote down the idea for a team of visor-wearing heroes and it it was so silly that it stuck with me.  I finally decided to tackle it..

Justice League of America Vs. The Super-Adaptoid

 


I had to remove The Avengers as well as some other items before I could add in the JLA on this cover.  Here's a look at the behind the scenes progress:

The Creeper and Venom

 

If you are wondering why The Creeper has it out for Norman Osborn, he's held a grudge ever since they clashed in STF #1674.  He also face off against another Symbiote, Carnage, in STF #4507.

Black Panther and Jonny Quest

 

For a brief moment, the classic Jonny Quest cartoons showed up on HBO Max.  I only got about five episodes in before they were pulled off of the service.  Hopefully they will return or show up somewhere else that I can check out the rest.  It was great seeing them again after all these years.

The Atom and The Defenders

 

Can the world's greatest non-team subdue a dwarf star-infused hero out of control?  And just what happened to Ray Palmer anyway?  The answers are only sixty cents away!

Hyperion Vs. Black Adam

 

Battles between Superman and Captain Marvel have always been entertaining, so I figured that a clash between a pair of their dark reflections would be fun to see as well. If anything it would be even more brutal - but who would come out as the victor?

Liberty Belle and Union Jack

 

I always liked reading about these two wartime heroes, even if they never quite hit the A-list. They look great too - Union Jack's has a vary cool outfit and Libby Lawrence wears her jodhpurs well.

Superman and Thor in: "The Kryptonian Transfusion!"

 


I haven't had these two together for a while, and I thought it was time to feature them together again.  Superman and Thor have shared other STF adventures:

in Issue #1155, they paid for the sins of their fathers...

in Issue #994, they starred in an all-Kirby classic...

In Issue #949, they battled Amazo and the Taskmaster...

In Issue #155, they were confronted by their fathers...

In Issue #31, they squared off against Mongul...

and they first crossed paths way back in Issue #17.

Spider-Woman and The Shadow

 

Jessica Drew has become entangled in mysteries regarding her origins before.  Perhaps The Shadow could help her uncover some long-hidden truths.

Brainiac Vs. Thanos

 

I think that this would make for an epic match up.  I can see them trying to out maneuver each other with some dramatic results.  Who do you think would win this war?

Calvin and Hobbes meet The Demon

Sure, Calvin could have a dark side, but his heart was always in the right place.  Let's hope that Etrigan keeps an eye on him.

Green Lantern and E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial

 

The Green Lantern Corps is truly an interplanetary organization, so why not have E.T. join their ranks?  A ring would certainly ensure that he would not get stranded again, at least!
