Mademoiselle Marie and The Invaders

 

Are fishnets and a mini skirt appropriate battle wear?  Maybe not, but Marie is an effective agent nonetheless. It would be cool to see her on a mission with The Invaders.

Judge Dredd and The Watcher

 

I can't imagine Dredd having much patience with that cosmic Peeping Tom.  Just how would he enforce the law, though?  This could make for an interesting match up.

Nova Vs. The Joker

 

Oh boy, this can't end well! Still, It would have been fun to read about from the safety of my Earth Prime living room.

The Spirit and Wonder Woman

 

After all of the Femme Fatales that he has had to deal with, I wonder how The Spirit would react to working alongside the Avenging Amazon?  It would be cool to read about, especially if it was illustrated by a master of the form like Brian Bolland!

Superman Vs. The Red Skull

 

The promotional materials for the new Superman movie should be ramping up soon with the release date getting closer.  I am looking forward to seeing a full trailer, but who am I kidding, I'm already sold by the teaser (and honestly, they had me at Metamorpho) - maybe I should skip it to avoid spoilers?  Who am I kidding again, I know I won't be able to resist watching!

Mars Attacks The Flash

 

Uh oh!  Is even the fastest man alive swift enough to get out of this predicament?  I'm sure those vile Martians will give him a run for his money!

Crusaders of Camelot

 

This is a team concept that I have had rattling around in my brain for a while, and I am glad that I finally got around to putting it together.  It would be cool to see the adventures of a superhero team from the Middle Ages.

Judge Dredd Vs. Howard the Duck

 

This cover required a bit of prep work before I could add Howard into the mix.  Here's a look at the behind the scenes progress:

Robin & Starfire Vs. Darth Vader

 

Darth Vader and Starfire have a bit of history on this blog - Starfire first ran afoul of the Empire in STF #397, and was taken hostage by Vader in STF #398... (her marriage to The Silver Surfer was resolved in STF #2200, if you're curious).  Vader was last seen taunting Starfire by joining forces with her sister in STF #3047.

Green Lantern Corps and Eternity

 

It sounds like the Green Lantern Corps Max series is still on the way, even if it will take a while to get here.  Report have said it will be a mostly down to Earth mystery, which I am sure will help the budget.  Still, I hope they don't ignore too many of the fantastical off-world elements that makes The Corps such a cool concept.  Now that the strikes are over, hopefully we'll hear more about the direction of the show and casting for it soon.

Elongated Man and Captain Britain

 

If I wasn't reading a comic book when I was growing up, I was reading a mystery.  From Encyclopedia Brown to Sherlock Holmes, I loved fictional sleuths.  Just another reason that characters like Batman and Elongated Man, who combine super-heroics with old fashioned detective work, are among my favorites.

ROM in Camelot 3000

 

I bet a good writer could make a cool story out of this set up.  King Arthur is always looking for a few good knights to fill out his Round Table, after all.  It only follows that a futuristic Arthur would want a space age knight for the job.  

Justice Society of America and Captain Britain (Part 2)

 

Continued from yesterday's cover, we are getting an idea of what Captain Britain's mission for the JSA entails.  I always enjoyed JSA or All-Star Squadron tales that included Batman, Wonder Woman and Superman.  The original trinity would often take a back seat to the other heroes, even in the Golden Age tales, so you really knew it was a major event when the whole crew showed up.

Animal Man and Machine Man

 

Just from their names, these two clearly don't have a lot in common.  That's of course until they come face to face with a monstrosity that perverts both of their abilities.  It would be a fun battle to see go down.  

The Metal Men and Ultraman

 

The Metal Men are at the top of my list of characters that I want to see in James Gunn's DCU.  There had been talk of an animated film in years past, and I always thought that was a good idea.   Computer generated special effects have reached a level where I think they could be done well in live action also.  Whatever path he takes, I hope Gunn has plans for them.

Zatanna and The Spirit

 

When Warner Bros. brought on JJ Abrams to revamp the DCU, he seemed to have big plans for Zatanna.  I heard rumors of her leading up a Justice League Dark team or even being featured in a solo movie of her own.  Nothing much came of the Abrams partnership, and now James Gunn and Peter Safran are heading up the DCU.  I haven't seen him mention Zatanna in his plans yet, but I hope she is in the mix.

The Phantom Stranger and 8 Famous Co-Stars

 

For the conclusion of this Five-Part Epic, we see that The Enchantress' lost love was none other than King Arthur of Camelot 3000.  Let's wish our STF couples some peaceful times ahead after all they've been through. Hey, nobody said comic book romances wound be easy.

This marks the 15th Appearance of The Power Couple, The 29th Appearance of the WW/Cap romance and the 11th appearance of The Hercules/Vixen romance.

The Enchantress and 7 Famous Co-Stars

 

As we reach Part Four of this Five-Part Epic, we see what's truly behind the Enchantress' machinations.  Just who is her "dearest" anyway?  Comic fans should recognize that silhouette. Make sure you come back tomorrow for the exciting conclusion!

This marks the 14th Appearance of The Power Couple, The 28th Appearance of the WW/Cap romance and the 10th appearance of The Hercules/Vixen romance.

Red Sonja, Detective Chimp & Black Knight in Camelot 3000

 

I just checked out the newest collection of DC Showcase Shorts (Constantine in the House of Mystery, Kamandi, The Losers and Blue Beetle), and they were all at treat to watch.  These 20-minute adventures of some of their lesser known characters have been more entertaining to me than DC's full length animated efforts in the past few years, and I really hope the Warner Bros/Discovery shakeup doesn't mean the end of them.  Camelot 3000 would be a perfect place to visit in a future installment, so let's hope they continue.

Spider-Man and Blue Devil

 

There's been a lot of talk about Secret Wars being the next huge crossover event that the MCU is building towards.  The Russo Brothers have even indicated interest in directing such an epic.  But which Secret Wars story will be adapted?  The original series that I remember from my youth had The Beyonder summoning a bunch of heroes and villains to Battleworld where they duked it out.  Then there's the newer Secret Wars series that was hitting just when I stopped regularly buying comics, so I don't know too much about it - just that it seemed to involve the multiverse, with lots of different versions of Marvel heroes running around.  That seems in line with what the MCU has been doing lateley, but then again the Russo Brothers seem to lean into the more classic tales from 30 years ago or more, so who knows what's  in store?  Perhaps it will be something with elements of both events.  I'm sure we'll have several more years to speculate.
