I'd be rooting for the X-Men, but, honestly, I don't think they've got much of a chance here. Colossus and Nightcrawler essentially have no chance. Wolverine might do a bit better, but, face it, he's not going to win. Sunfire's far more powerful than his opponent, but pitting the most hot-headed, least clever member of the team against Batman is a bad idea. Storm and Banshee are the X-Men's best chance, but Hal's fought and beaten foes with yellow-tinged powers before, and Atom's extremely clever, and more powerful than people expect. The X-Men would have to pull off some major upsets to take this. Of course, pulling off major upsets is part of what superheroes do, so it's not completely impossible, just very, very unlikely.
Alaric's right. GL would probably help out the Atom by power ringing up a pair of soundproof ear muffs. One second later? A size-and-weight adjusted punch to Banshee's jaw! Flash returns the favor by super-speeding Storm around in Wolverine's direction so that his adamantiun skeleton would ground her lightning. Leaving Wonder Woman free to knock out both mutants.
Superman, meanwhile, takes the brunt of Sunfire's solar blasts then uses his super-cooling breath to freeze Nightcrawler in mid-bamf. While Colossus is Bat-gassed by the Dark Knight (as organic steel skin doesn't necessarily mean equally metallic lungs).
OH, YES!!!
I would definitely shell out the cover price for this book. But, I especially love the back-link to STF #700. If only because the back-up tale (Big Barda meets Red Sonja) retroactively lays the foundation for the New Female Furies! But, you were probably already aware of that. Right?
In any case; congrats on this anniversary issue!
Even though there's no price on this cover it's still a bargain considering the jam packed story inside!
In the good ol' days this would've cost between a dollar to $2.50.
These days this could be anywhere from $20 - $30. 😟
Happy 5200 Ross! Excellent match-ups. Back in my day, 100 page specials were a big deal, since they were kind of rare. It must have driven the editors crazy when the publishers wanted a milestone issue that wouldn't mess up continuity.
Good for the publishers! It shows they were more concerned for the readership back then than most of them appear to be, today.
Great cover! I was a little surprised in the credits - was thinking the JLA was drawn by JLGL and/or Dick Giordano. I always enjoy trying to guess the artists before looking for the answers. I try not to make requests, because I really appreciate all the work you do on this, but maybe when there's a big DC team v Marvel team, could you do art by JLGL/Giordano and Big John Buscema? I think they really exemplified the respective house styles.
I totally missed yesterday that today we'd be finding out where the teams went. D'oh! I do still like the idea of time-tossed X-Men working with the LSH, though -- maybe not the whole team, necessarily, but specific ones. Storm, Nightcrawler, Wolfsbane, Jubilee, and Husk seem particularly fitting, since I don't think any LSH member has powers similar to theirs (I recall that the LSH bylaws require each member to have a unique superpower, with only a couple of specific exceptions allowed).
Well, Lightning Lad can certainly generate his own lightning and Chameleon Boy can certainly change into more than just a lycanthrope. But, the other three? Yeah, they definitely don't have any matches for their abilities among the LSH.
