Green Lantern and Nova in: "That's No Moon!"

 

Hal Jordan met the Richard Ryder Nova way back in STF #121, and I thought it was time that he met the Franke Raye version. I wonder how close the Shalla-Bal Silver Surfer from the upcoming Fantastic Four movie will be visually to this iteration of the Galcatus Herald.

Iron Man and Space Ghost

Lately when Chemo is featured in the comics, he has some kind of robotic appendages attached to him.  He still looks cool, but I still favor the more simple classic design, as used on this cover.  A giant sentient container of bubbling toxic waste is a terrifying concept and his appearances always excited me as a kid.

The Atom and Cloak and Dagger

The CW made a big deal out of introducing Ryan Choi in the Crisis on Infinite Earths event.  I thought that was so that they could have Ray Palmer pass on the mantle of The Atom to him, just as happened in the comics.  However, Brandon Routh's final appearance on DC's Legends of Tomorrow has come and gone, with no sign of Choi.  It seems like a lot of set up for a character that they haven't used again.  Oh well, it's not like I'd expect him to get in costume or use shrinking powers much on that show anyway - Palmer barely did, after all!

Darth Vader Vs. Green Lantern

In addition to the Marvel shows announced, the Disney streaming service will also be featuring a Star Wars-related series, The Mandalorian.  It is supposed to feature the adventures of a lone fighter pilot in the time frame between the original trilogy and The Force Awakens.  There isn't much to make a judgment about it yet, but Jon Favreau's involvement as writer and producer is certainly a positive sign.  It could be pretty cool.

Space Ghost joins Star Wars

OK, so the DCEU is having trouble finding solid footing, but there's no reason that we can't have another series if interconnected superhero movies in addition to Marvel's.  The Valiant Universe looks to be making an attempt to get in on the action, which could be cool - but what I'd love to see is a series of films featuring the Hanna Barbera heroes.  Start with Space Ghost and Spin out the Galaxy Trio, Herculoids, Birdman, Shazzan and more.  The kids who were fans of those shows growing up are now directors, producers and movie executives - Let's finally see those properties get some live action love!

Jonah Hex and the Original Ghost Rider (Part 1)

I always liked the look of the original Ghost Rider (later called Night Rider, and Phantom Rider).  The all-white outfit complete with white mask, cape and hat riding on a white horse made for a great image and I am sure gave out a signal to bad guys that a there was a new force for good in the west.

This is only the first part of this tale, so make sure you come back for the thrilling conclusion tomorrow!
