Judge Dredd, Adam Strange and She-Hulk

 

Three quite different heroes from three different comic universes thrown together in one wild adventure - I'd read it, just to find out what's going on!  It would be fun to see all of their personalities clash.

Adam Strange and Magnus: Robot Fighter

 

Giant robots wrapped in a science-based mystery is just the type of situation that would get these two together.  I'd love to see them share an adventure.

Man-Wolf and Adam Strange

 

The latest rumors making the rounds say that Adam Strange is coming to the DCU, with Will Poulter being considered for the role.  I've long thought that The Character was ripe for live action treatment, so I hope these reports are true.  The Krypton tv series featured Adam Strange as a character, but I'd like to see a version more faithful to the comics.

Adam Strange and the Inhumans in: "Tomorrow's Terror... Today!"

 

There's a little too much light pollution where I live, so I don't pull out my telescope to use very often.  When I do, I like to check out Jupiter or Saturn if I can, and looking close up at the Moon is always cool.  It makes me think about the dark side which never faces us - who's to say there isn't a Blue Area over there, just waiting for a team of heroes to call it it their home base?

Adam Strange first met The Inhumans in STF #4372...

The Guardian and Adam Strange

 

Just like happened to Captain Marvel and Black Panther a week or so ago in STF #4559, it would seem that two disparate heroes have found themselves working together to thwart a gigantic monster. Yikes, just how many of these big guys are lying in wait?

Adam Strange and The Inhumans

 

I've been reading the amazing three-volume Alex Toth retrospective (Genius: Isolated, Genius Illustrated and Genius: Animated), and it is fascinating to see how he developed so many properties to be cartoon series on the small screen. Both Adam Strange and The Inhumans seem to me as though they would have been perfect candidates for this treatment.  I can only imagine how cool animated shows featuring them would have been with the design work of Toth to help bring them to life.

Adam Strange and The Defenders

 

It was only a matter of time before Adam Strange joined The Defenders for an adventure.  After all, he is the brother of Stephen, The Master of Mystic Arts - in fact, this marks the seventh appearance of The Strange Brothers on the blog.

Adam Strange and Ant-Man

 

Writers from Rick & Morty were hired to pen Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania, and... well, it felt like a Rick & Morty episode.  I kept thinking that if I saw some of the ideas and concepts on the Adult Swim cartoon, I probably would have enjoyed them a lot more.  In the movie, something didn't quite gel for me and it all came off a bit goofy and forgettable.  The talented cast that was assembled for the film deserved better.

Doctor Strange and Adam Strange in: "Strange New World!"

 

This marks the sixth appearance of The Strange Brothers.  They were last seen escaping Hell in STF #3163, they faced their wicked uncle in STF #2801, They were forced to do penance in STF #2649, they were trying to escape from Limbo in STF #2146, and they were first revealed to be brothers in STF #370...

Adam Strange Vs. Annihilus

 

One of the cool things about The Fantastic Four coming to the MCU is that their exploring ways will also allow the opportunity to introduce lots of cool new locations in the Marvel Universe.  On the top of my list would be The Negative Zone, complete with Annihilus and Blastaar as villains.   Other than a Thing/Hulk fight, there's nothing I'd like to see more in a new FF movie.

Adam Strange and Iron Man

 

I'm still waiting for live action versions of these heroes, in these outfits.  Adam Strange appeared on the now-cancelled Krypton, but he never wore his signature costume or learned to use his jetpack. Iron Man made many appearances in many different suits of armor - but frustratingly, never in his classic Red and Gold widow's peak, hip disk look that dominated his first three decades of comic appearances.  Maybe we'll get it in a multiversal variant Iron Man at some point?

Adam Strange and Star Trek in: "The Rann-Romulus War!"

 

It's too bad plans for a 4th Star Trek movie with the new crew fell apart.  The rumored plot had Chris Hemsworth returning as Kirk's father in a time travel tale, which sounds like it could have been a lot of fun.  Reportedly, actor's salaries and schedules got in the way, not to mention the tragic passing of a cast member and script disagreements.  There may be a chance that the project starts up again, but I think maybe that starship has sailed.

Adam shared and animated adventure with the crew of The Enterprise in STF #2056...

Adam Strange Joins Star Wars

 

 

Continued from yesterday's cover, we see Adam has found Tatooine's most famous resident along with his friends.  Jabba's not going to know what hit him!  I quite liked this Adam Strange costume redesign by Pasquale Ferry.  It looks a bit more modern while still maintaining the aesthetic of his classic uniform.

Beta Ray Bill and Adam Strange in: "Jabba's Ransom!"

 

It looks like Adam and Bill have resolved whatever conflict The Grandmaster was trying to engineer in STF #3194... and this is not the end of this adventure - so make sure to come back tomorrow for the exciting conclusion!

I was glad to use an Ivan Reis Adam Strange image for this cover.  Here's an original Superman/Batman page by Reis that I picked up many years ago:

Adam Strange and Ghost Rider in: "Death Ride From Rann!"

 

Has anybody checked out the current Strange Adventures comic featuring Adam Strange and Mr. Terrific?  I like both of those characters a lot so I was interested in reading it, but some of the previews that I have seen make it look like yet another attempt to do a "grim and gritty" Adam Strange story, which I don't think ever really works.  I prefer Adam as more of a straight up swashbuckler type.  I still may pick up a digital copy once the series is completed and collected.

Adam Strange Vs. The Red Skull

 

Has anyone checked out the new Strange Adventures series by Tom King?  I was wondering if I should pick it up once collected, but King is a very hit or miss writer with me. I quite liked his Mister Miracle work, and have heard nothing but good stuff about his Vision mini series, but I was actively turned off from what I have seen of his writing for Heroes in Crisis and Batman.  Still, I like Adam Strange and Mr. Terrific, so I'd be interested to know if this current series does them justice.

Adam Strange and Beta Ray Bill

 

Thor: Love and Thunder is supposed to start filming this week, and we still have no confirmation on whether Beta Ray Bill will show up.  It seems like a jam packed movie already with Jane Foster, Gorr The God Butcher, Valkyrie and the Guardians of the Galaxy already in the mix, would there even be room?  I imagine he would be a CGI creation, so his inclusion would be easy to keep under wraps.  Maybe we will be pleasantly surprised.

Adam Strange and Doctor Strange in: "Drag Me Out Of Hell!"

 

Adam was left in Hell following the events of STF #3145, so who better than his mystical brother to try an bail him out?

This is the fifth appearance of The Strange Brothers.  They were last seen facing their wicked uncle in STF #2801, They were forced to do penance in STF #2649, before that, they were trying to escape from Limbo in STF #2146, and they were first revealed to be brothers in STF #370...

Adam Strange and Ghost Rider

 

I still think that Adam Strange has all the elements to make for a great movie.  The concept of an Earth man that travels back and forth to a distant planet where he falls in love and battles space monsters is full of potential.  Perhaps the box office failure of similarly-themed John Carter has lessened Adam's chances for big screen glory.  Still, I think it could work well.  Give him a plot that has mysteries to investigate on both Earth and Rann and watch as he tries to solve them both while never knowing exactly when he'll be able to travel between worlds.

Warlock and Adam Strange in: "Splitting Adams!"

 

With Black Widow's release date being pushed back to a year after its original spot, all of Marvel's movie slate has been delayed as well.  Now comes word that James Gunn will be writing and possibly directing some episodes for a new HBO Max series spinning of of The Suicide Squad and starring John Cena's Peacemaker - so it sounds like he will be busy with DC characters for a while longer.  When will Guardian's of the Galaxy Vol. 3 get underway?  Audiences have waited a long time for that Adam Warlock post credits scene from Vol. 2 to pay off, and it looks like we are going to have to keep waiting for a few more years.

Adam Strange and Warlock first met way back in STF #79...
