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!

I’m still waiting for a Conan/Xena crossover.

So happy to see this pairing!!!

Cool team-up! What are you calling this team, then?

Detective Tobor said...

or..Xena is being given the bird's CLAW!! What a hook! Barda just measuring her abilities. But will Xena need to learn new weapons? What a way to start a new year!!

Detective Tobor said...

A new team of Furies. Check the cover with Hellcat!

Ross said...

Air Dave, They will be called pretty much what you would expect.

Next Fury? You've got me stumped. No, wait. Maybe that DC stuff is misdirection. Could it be...Nicole Fury? (From Earth -81114.)
If Nicole - or the sort-of-DC character - turns the gig down, the one character I can think of that would be a really good fit for the team is Angela.

@Davejonz: more likely, it will be the Starfire who led an eight-issue revolt against the Yorg and Mygorg during DC's pre-Bicentennial expansion (while "still only 20 cents!").

@Ross: Let me be the first to wish you...Happy New Year! :-)

Well, I see someone else has already claimed the sword-wielding "Starfire" as their guess -- and a darned good guess it is, too; they're doubtless right -- so I'm just going to shoot for the moon, and make Dart (of Atari Force fame) my own.

Carycomic said...

I've been half-wildly guessing that since STF #4881. ;-)

THE FACT LEXI said...

The next recruit should be Red Sonja or Sif.

Kid Charlemagne said...

I will guess that Barda's going to go for someone seriously powerful, who does NOT fit the Warrior-Woman motif: Promethea.

(I'm assuming that the America's Best Comics characters have NOT been incorporated into the DCU, but I haven't read comics regularly since 2007, chiefly because the expense finally became insufferable.)

Kid Charlemagne said...

Barda might want someone who was seriously powerful in a different way, so I will guess Promethea, from America's Best Comics. I assume Moore would not have allowed his ABC characters to be incorporated into the DCU, given his strained relations with DC.

Kid Charlemagne said...

Apologies for repeating myself, y'all. The first one didn't show up as they usually do, so I thought either the app messed up, or I did, so I tried again.

Barda is going to recruit Rima the Jungle Girl and Elvira, Mistress of the Dark.

Already done, Lexi. See STF #4881.

Or Dejah Thoris of Barsoom.

Simreeve said...

That 'Starfire' was my guess as well.

Or maybe Sparkplug (Flare's sister) or Vamfire (E-man's sister) or even both!

Conan / Xena / Groo......

Carycomic said...

Barda and Promethea vs. Mr. Universe might be a good premise.

"Good things come to those who wait."

Theoretically, anyway.
