Booster Gold and The Avengers in: "Skip Day!"

 

A lot of prep work was required to remove Spider-Man before I could add Booster Gold in to this image.  Here's a look at the behind the scenes progress:

Booster first met The Avengers back in STF #3114...

Robo Force in: "No Home On Krakoa!"

 

For this, the 10th appearance of Robo Force, I thought I would place them somewhere wholly incompatible with their robotic bodies.  It would be interesting to see what landed them there and how they will react to the living island.

Ultraman Vs. Red Hulk

 

We've seen Superman battle the Hulk before, but these two dark reflections would probably really let loose on one another.  There would definitely be a lot of collateral damage in this one - but who wins?

Hellboy Vs. Aliens

 Hellboy has made a career of dealing with giant monsters, so I think that a mission featuring Xenomorphs would be right up his alley.  Having Mignola on the art chores would make the story even better.

Superman and Mary Jane

 

A scene like this could set up quite the divergent timeline.  It would be interesting to watch unfold.

Has anyone checked out Superman and Spider-Man's recent real world crossover, and was it any good?  I'm waiting for these new DC/Marvel crossovers to be collected in digital and then I plan to check them out, but I'd love to hear your opinions.

Superman and Spider-Man have had a history on this blog as well - They were last seen together sporting their black costumes, Superman gathered heroes to find a missing Spidey...  There was a movie of their classic crossover... once they underwent an identity crisis... and once they decided to have a car fight.

Power Man and Deadman

 

Maybe Boston Brand would have found his killer sooner if he had consulted with a Hero for Hire like Luke Cage.  It would certainly be entertaining to read about.

Doctor Strange and The Legion of Super-Heroes in: "Master of Mystic Interrogation!"

 

Based on the costumes, I'd say that this adventure takes place prior to Doctor Strange's first encounter with the LSH on this blog, back in STF #3546.  As for who the traitor might be in the scene above?  I never fully trusted someone who claims to be a descendant of Brainiac...

Madrox Vs. Multiplex

 

I don't envy the artist that would have to handle this issue.  I imagine crowd scenes, and lots of them!

ROM and Batman Vs. Clayface

 

For the final part of this Three-Part Epic, we learn who has been behind the Gotham Incident all along.  I did see at least one correct guess in the comments!  I'm very interested to see what the upcoming Clayface movie will look like.  It is supposed to be a lower budget affair, but I hope that the special effects needed to bring the villain to life are not skimped on.

ROM Vs. Batman

 

In the middle chapter of this Three-Part Epic, we see that the Dark Knight has not taken kindly to the events of last issue!  But if ROM is innocent, then what is really going on here?  Make sure that you return tomorrow for the exciting conclusion!  

Batman first encountered ROM on a Lost Brave and the Bold cover, an MS Paint effort from way back in 2010...

Catwoman and ROM

 

My goodness, what has ROM done?  You just know that a situation like this is not going to sit well with certain other residents of Gotham City! Good thing that this is only Part One of a Three-Part Epic, so make sure you come back tomorrow to find out what happens next!

Ghost Vs. The Ghost

 

This is a pairing that was requested by Bob Greenwade, frequent commenter and Patron of this Blog. Thanks, Bob!  My only question is how do two characters engage in battle when they can't make physical contact with each other?  That would be a problem for the writer to figure out, I guess!

Plastic Man and Thor

 

The Avengers: Doomsday teaser featuring Thor presented a somber and determined Thunder God.  Chris Hemsworth has decent comedic chops, but I think Marvel realized that they had been leaning too far in that direction with the character.  It will be good to see a more serious take returning for the Odinson.

Calvin & Hobbes and Watchmen

 

Well, Calvin certainly has the imagination required for such an undertaking.  It would be fun to find out what kind of world he builds.

Dick Tracy and Conan

 

Despite all of their differences, for some reason I think that these two could find some common ground. As long as they were up against a mutual enemy, anyway.

Human Torch and Black Lightning

 

I'm glad to finally use Doctor Destiny on the blog, an underrated DCU villain.  In addition to his cool creepy look, he was powerful enough to take on the JLA single handedly.  His mind-bending abilities always made for interesting visuals as well.

Captain Marvel Jr. and Flash Gordon

 

Time for an all-Mac Raboy cover.  I liked the cool sky cycles that Captain America or Hawkeye would zip around in on their Avengers adventures.  I have to wonder if those were inspired by Flash Gordon's Rocket Cycles, which he was known to use.

Ant-Man and Wonder Woman

 

This is a rare case where I used an actual Super-Team Family cover to make a lost issue. Some prep work was required before I could add in Ant-Man.  Here's a look at the behind the scenes progress: 

Green Arrow Vs. Hobgoblin

 

I remember being intrigued by the mystery of The Hobgoblin back in the day, even if the ultimate reveal wasn't as interesting as some of  the speculation.  I can only imagine who would be behind the mask in the scenario presented above!

The Flash and Ghost Rider in: "Rest in Peace - Or Race in Purgatory!"

 

The Flash first met Ghost Rider way back in STF #243... when he was recruited for a mission in Hell.  I suppose a race in purgatory is a step up from that, at least!

Xena and Big Barda

 

Here we see that Barda has chosen the another member to join her new team!  Regular visitors will remember that she recruited Hellcat in STF #4964 Red Sonja in STF #4881. She still has a one more slots on the roster to fill, who will it be?  Hint - its a character that appeared in comics from DC, but is not part of the DCU.  All will be revealed on a future cover, so stay tuned!
