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!

Mr. T and Chaselon


 These two have been allies ever since they joined forces in Task Force T back in STF #1082, and I thought it was time to give them a solo adventure - complete with a ring for Mr. T.   Who will be given a Green Lantern ring next?  You can find out right here tomorrow!

The Flash and Mr. Fantastic

 

I haven't seen the new FF movie yet, but I hear that Pedro Pascal is pretty good as Reed despite the mustache and limited stretching scenes. I was worried about the casting, so that's good to hear.

This cover required some decluttering and background replacement.  Here is a look at the behind the scenes progress:

Red Tornado and Aunt May


 Poor May Parker is always being written as a frail aunt in distress, it's time she get the chance to be the hero of the story.  Who better to join her in such an adventure than Ma Hunkel?

Hercules and Cyborg

 

Hercules was introduced in an MCU post credits scene, but when will we see him again?  There has been talk of a 5th Thor film, but I don't know if that is definite yet.  The next two Avengers movies are supposed to be jam packed with heroes, perhaps he will make an appearance in one of them.

Batman Vs. The Creature from the Black Lagoon

 

The Creature from the Black Lagoon truly had an excellent costume design. It looked great in and out of the water and certainly gave me the chills as a kid.  Batman's movie serial costume wasn't as much of a success.  It looks ok here, but most of the time one or both of his ears was pointing in the wrong direction!

The Spectre and The Vision

Thugs and gangsters never stood much of a chance against these two ultra powerful heroes.  It will take a mystical threat to challenge their combined forces.

Manhunter and Shang-Chi

 

It always makes a big difference when comic artists illustrating expert fighters have really done their homework.  When the reader sees a character like Shang-Chi or Iron Fist using actual martial arts moves, it adds a lot to the effectiveness of the scene. Hopefully this issue would contain plenty of such sequences.

Betty and The Beast

 

It looks like Archie Andrews has met his match. Maybe a well-timed Sentinel attack will distract the competition.

Nightwing and Puck

 


Nightwing previously faced off against The Ringmaster with The Roustabouts in STF #2410, and with Nightcrawler way back in STF #68...

Scarlet Witch and The Metal Men

 

They would probably be wise to follow Wanda here.  She's proven herself a close friend to a Synthezoid, why not a team of robots on the run?

John Wick Vs. Cobra Commander

 

OK, admittedly this story may only take 2 comic panels to tell, but I still feel like it would make for a satisfying read!  John Wick 5 is reportedly in development, although I'm not sure how that works given the end of the last film.  Perhaps his appearance in Ballerina (which I have not seen yet) explains it?

Thunderbolts and Plastic Man

 

Yes, Eel O'Brien also has a past working outside the law, but would this team made up of former members of the Masters of Evil tolerate his humor and antics? I'm not quite sure about that, but I bet it would make for an interesting read.

Mr. Terrific and Storm

 

I saw and quite enjoyed the new Superman movie.  I liked how it truly embraced its comic book roots, it felt like reading a Silver or Bronze age issue.  I wasn't crazy about the major change to Superman's Kryptonian origin, though.  Mr. Terrific was definitely a standout.  Edi Gathegi's performance was great and his actions scenes were a blast to watch.  Definite spinoff material there!

Two-Face and She-Hulk

 

Between their duality and legal background, this feels like a natural combination.  I can only imagine what Harvey Dent's plan is with this newfound power. 

Two-Face encountered Jennifer Walters' cousin Bruce Banner in STF #4280...

Swamp Thing and Shaman

 

Looks like a somewhat metaphysical issue.  That's ok, those those can make way for some lavishly illustrated tales.  I just wonder who it is that these two are trying to contact.

Sgt. Fury and Wonder Woman

 

I'm betting that Fury and his Commandos would have welcomed some back up as powerful as Wonder Woman on their missions.  I know that I would have certainly welcomed reading about it!

Hellboy and Gargoyles

 

There was talk of a live action Gargoyles movie a few years ago, but I haven't heard much about it since the projects announcement.  It appears to still be in development, so hopefully we will hear about some forward momentum soon.  If done right, it could be a very cool film.  Thanks to Mike Shirley, a Patron of this Blog, for suggesting this team up!

Iron Man and Robocop

 

Robocop was the closest thing we had to an Iron Man movie until the real thing came along a couple of decades later, so this seems like a natural combination to me.  Watching these two in action side by side would make for a fun summertime flick.
