Green Lantern Corps Vs. The Wrecking Crew

 

The new Lanterns trailer was a lot better than the teaser but I still have my reservations about the show. It still feels a bit like it's embarrassed to be a Green Lantern show, and I don't like some of the rumors I've read regarding the fates of some of the characters.  Still, it's an HBO series and they are usually well written, and I do like the cast.  A lot is riding on this series, so I hope it is received well.  

Flash Gordon and Ch'p

 

Admittedly, I made this cover to use my silly pun here - but I actually think it might make for a fun story!

Chewbacca and The Fur Force in: "Trial by Fur!"

 

It looks like the third appearance of this team will truly put its leader to the test.  Let's hope this hairy rebel has what it takes to see it through.  Chewbacca and The Fur Force last appeared as an animated series in STF #3920, and made their debut in STF #1258.

Chewbacca and The Fur Force (The Animated Series!)

 

For the return of these fur-covered crusaders, I thought that it might be interesting to see what a cartoon featuring them might be like.  I also added a new member.  

Chewbacca and The Fur Force first appeared in STF #1258...

Nightcrawler, Wolverine and the Green Lantern Corps

 

Presenting the conclusion of our three-part epic!  Let's hope the combined forces of all of these heroes is enough to turn back an attack from The Empire.  Marvel Studios has mastered the cinematic universe and now they are about to dive headfirst into the multiverse... how long until they take the next step and have Marvel heroes cross over into other Disney-Owned properties like Star Wars?

Green Lantern and Nightcrawler

 

This marks the 4000th cover that I have posted on this blog! I never though I would reach this point, but here we are!

 It is also Part Two of a Three Part Epic - We now see why Logan is seeking the Corps' help:  His teammate is in trouble on Hoth! Make sure that you stop by tomorrow to see how everything plays out in the exciting conclusion!

Wolverine and The Green Lantern Corps

 

Presenting part one of a three-part epic!  It looks like Logan and the GLC still aren't quite on the same page yet - after all, there's been tension between him and the space cops since way back in STF #209... Where will the story go from here?  Make sure you stop by tomorrow to find out!

Galactus Vs. Mogo & Ch'p

I've had a few requests for Galactus to face of against Mogo, and I do agree that it would make for an amazing battle.  Galactus undoing of course would not paying attention to a micro problem while he tackles the macro problem - and that's where Ch'p can come in to save the day.

Ch'p and Howard The Duck

Many a superhero fan began their love of comics with funny animal characters.  It's not surprising that animal heroes would strike a chord with them as they are a bridge between the two genres.  The question is, how realistic to depict them?  For me, it's different for each character - I prefer a more cartoonish Howard and a more naturalistic looking Ch'p.

Green Lantern Corps and Silver Surfer

If there is one death at DC I would like to undo, it's that of Katma Tui.  I always liked her character and was glad when she became a romantic interest for John Stewart, thinking she would get more to do.  Unfortunately that made her ripe for a sacrifice to motivate John and her fate was sealed.  It hurt even more when the grisly moment of her death at the hands of Star Sapphire was illustrated by legendary Green Lantern artist Gil Kane, making it seem more "real" to me. I thought that with her appearances on the animated Justice League Unlimited, she would make a comeback but alas I have not seen her return.

Rocket Raccoon and Ch'p

Although some illustrators chose to depict Green Lantern Ch'p in a cartoony manner, I preferred  it when artists like Don Newton would draw him more realistically.  There's something I like about the smaller members of the Lantern Corps. I guess it's the juxtaposition between their tiny appearance and the incredible power that they wield.

Chewbacca and the Fur Force

It's going to be great to finally see Chewbacca in action again on the big screen.  I didn't realize until I saw the teaser trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens that Wookies had such longevity - he seems so be holding up pretty well!.  I'm glad that it will still be Peter Mayhew underneath the makeup all these years later.  Hopefully Chewbacca will be a part of the young Han Solo movie that is being developed as well.

Doop and Nibbler / Ch'p and Squirrel Girl

I thought I would throw together some of my favorite lower-profile characters on this cover.  Nibbler started out as a cute pet on Futurama, and was eventually revealed to be one of the most pivotal characters on the show.  Doop, the breakout star from Marvel's X-Statix, looks to be making a small comeback soon.  Squirrel Girl is one of the more inventive and unique Marvel heroines and her appearances are always fun.  Ch'p was a cool GL and I never quite forgave DC for running him over with a truck in Green Lantern: Mosaic.

Bonus points if you can properly translate Doop's speech balloon!
