Sam Wilson's newest cinematic outing seems to only be getting middling reviews, and the box office seems to be following suit. It looks like I can wait a few months for the Disney+ debut to watch it. Have any of you seen it, and what is your opinion? Should I catch Captain America: Brave New World on the big screen?
This one would be like one of those hidden gem Golden Age tales that I discovered as a back up tale in a 100-Page Giant or Annual back in the day. It was cool as a young reader to get a peek at comics from an earlier era.
I'm a little surprised that I haven't paired these two blonde heroines together yet. Something tells me that they would get along well. Maybe they would even have the makings of a World's Finest type of team.
It was a pretty controversial storyline when it was revealed that Zatanna erased some memories of her allies in the Justice League. What would happen if she tried to pull the same stunt on Earth's Mightiest Heroes... and what would cause her to take such a drastic action? The answers are only 60 cents away!
Avengers: Doomsday is about to begin filming, and I wonder what Spider-Man's role in it will be. I am sure Marvel will want to include him, but his new status quo after No Way Home means that all of his ties to Earth's Mightiest Heroes are gone. How will a loner like him fit in with the rest of the action?
Whatever type of situation that would call for an alliance between these two would certainly make for a moody tale. Let's hope that this fragile truce holds long enough for them to reach their goal.
It's time for another all-Kirby classic. Scott Free has made a lot of great escapes in his day, but can even he break free from the bonds of time? It would be fun to see how he got in to this situation - and how he gets out!
This is the third meeting between Doctors Mid-Nite and Strange, a pairing originally suggested by Bob Greenwade, frequent commenter and Patron of this Blog. They were last seen with Dr. Fate in STF #3267 and they first met in STF #2721...
Has anybody checked out the Hellboy: The Crooked Man movie? The reviews that I saw during its brief run said that the limited budget was very noticeable, but that the story was pretty faithful to the comics. I couldn't even finish the previous David Harbour Hellboy movie, so I hope it is better than that.
This might have been a fun Golden Age pairing to see. Here's another random villain from those days. It's too bad The Future man didn't stick around - I guess there wasn't much to his future after all!
Filming on the HBO Max Lanterns series is finally underway. Hopefully that means we will soon get some more details on the look of the production. I am sure the costume designers will want to steer clear of the mockery that Ryan Reynold's CGI costume received. One distant set photo has been released, but it did not reveal anything.
This is the first time that either has met Frankenstein Jr., but The Vision and red Tornado have crossed paths before in The Lost Issues - They battled The Construct in STF #2054, They investigated "who stole humanity?" back in Issue #1272 , merged programming Issue #971 and first met in an early MS Paint cover in Issue #44
When Sam Raimi was first announced as the Director of the first Spider-Man movie, I thought back on his comic book-inspired Darkman movie and knew that the wall crawler was in good hands. How cool would it have been if Raimi could have brought audiences a big screen team up between the two heroes?
Thunderbird had a great look (designed by Dave Cockrum, so no big surprise there), and it was too bad to see his time on the X-Men cut so short. I think his gruff attitude was too close to that of Logan and they didn't want two loose cannons on the team. It would have been interesting to see what would have happened if he had been kept around.
Goodness knows that the Professor has a few skeletons in his closet. I'm not sure the Children of the Atom would take to kindly to Jack Ryder snooping into their headmaster, and that conflict would make for and exciting tale.
A triple dose of Gil Kane goodness would be more than enough for me to want to pick up this issue! He is definitely my all-time favorite Marvel cover artists for a reason.
This would be a different issue, with both heroines adapting to situations outside their usual worlds. One of the great things about having characters with well defined personalities is the fun a writer can have by taking them out of their comfort zones.
Evert since I had these two appear together in a back up tale for STF # 665, I have received requests for them to get a full issue to themselves. It took a while, but I finally got around to doing just that.
The High Evolutionary seems like just the kind of villain that would be employed by The Empire. I can see them turning to him to help produce an army of soldiers to replace the Stormtroopers (perhaps with better aim). Let's hope a rag-tag team of rebels can upset his plans before they are fully in motion!
With all of the multiverse-related shenanigans that have been going on, I am a little surprised that we have'nt had any hints about the Squadron Supreme existing in the MCU. Perhaps they could be brought into Avengers: Doomsday or Avengers; Secret Wars, but those movies already sound jam packed without introducing a whole new team of heroes. I'd get a kick out of seeing them, though!
For the reasons that Deathlok lays out above, I think that he would give Brainiac more trouble than most heroes. Will Brainiac be a part of the upcoming Superman movie? If so, they've certainly kept that under wraps. I hope that his existence is at least teased, his movie debut is long overdue.
We only got a split second shot of Metamorpho in the new Superman teaser trailer, but it was enough to get me excited. I thought that Anthony Carrigan looks great in the make up they are using on him, he looked very comics accurate. With at least one major scene taking place at Stagg Industries, will we possibly be getting Rex Mason's origin in this movie?
Now these two heroes I am sure would get along. Their heroism loving personalities with a dash of vanity and great strength to back up their boasts would probably make them fast friends. It would be a fun romp to see them working togather.
Making this cover, it dawned on me - I don't believe that I have ever seen The Silver Surfer using his board to actually surf on ocean waves. I mean, I know it's designed for spanning the spaceways, but I'm sure it would be operational for traditional surf board use as well. Has such a scene ever been depicted in the comics?
This cover comes from a suggestion by Bob Greenwade, frequent commenter and a Patron of this Blog. I think Bob may have wanted to see our two heroes battle the King of all Monsters, and I figure a scene like that would take place early in this issue - but I'd hope such a tale would focus on the three of them joining forces against a larger threat.
Lois Lane is one of those characters that actresses really have fun with. and there have been some really enjoyable depictions over the years, my favorites are Noel Neill, Margot Kidder, Teri Hatcher, Dana Delaney Erica Durance and Bitsie Tulloch. Everyone seems to love the choice of Rachel Brosnahan as the latest cinematic Lois, and she does look great in the teaser trailer. I can't wait to see what she brings to the role.
One cool thing that I have liked about the Teen Titans is the variety of types of stories that were told with the team. They could easily go from standard superhero fare to epic off-planet action to street level mysteries. It would be cool to see them share a mystic adventure with Dr. Strange.
Spider-Woman and Batgirl met previously in STF #3879, but I thought it would be cool to see them in an animated adventure as well. Who better to face off against them than STF's own Mr. Universe, making his 5th appearance.
At a time when all I knew where heroes from Marvel and DC comics, I was happy to find Hanna-Barbera's World of Super-Adventure with it's impressive line up of cartoon stars. Space Ghost and The Herculoids were my favorites, but I liked all of the features. Alex Toth certainly knew how to design a show!
We've had two versions of the Suicide Squad in the movies, but still no Bronze Tiger. Maybe he can be a supporting character whenever the DCU finally gets the Batman side of things underway? I did like the live action appearances by Michael Jai White in the Arrowverse, but I thought that he could have been used better there.
There was a bit of background removal and replacement required before I could and Ronnie Raymond and Professor Stein to this cover. Here's a look at the behind the scenes progress:
Now this is the type of Super-Team cartoon I would have loved back in the day. The biggest action stars of my youth working together, count me in. Heck, let's consider that to be the shark from Jaws up there and throw him into the mix!
They say Batman can defeat anyone if he has enough prep time. Apocalypse has had centuries to prepare himself, though. It would be an interesting meeting!
We may see them from time to time, but for the most part, gorgeously painted movie posters are a thing of the past. It's too bad, some of them were truly iconic. Just like album covers, somewhere along the line, artistry took a back seat to more commercial advertising.
We've seen a bunch of Predator/Marvel crossovers now that both properties are under the same corporate umbrella, so maybe this battle will be created for real one of these days. The Predator might have his hands full in this match up, but it would be fun to see play out.
This is another pairing that I have meant to get to for a long time. Would Boston Brand be able to handle taking control of The Hulk? I guess it depends on how mad the big guy is when the attempt is made.
Sure, it was cool back in the day when Karate Kid was sent back from the 30th Century to our time for a series of adventures - but I wished that other members of the Legion of Super-Heroes had been able to do the same. Wildfire would have been at the top of my list, I just thought that he was so cool.
