Doctor Strange and Raven

 

Dr. Strange is one to talk, at least the movie version!  Wasn't he left years ago compromised by the evil influence of the Darkhold, complete with a third eye?  I haven't heard that he is in Avengers: Doomsday, so maybe we'll have to wait for him to get a third movie to see a resolution to that plot twist.

Doctor Strange and Batgirl

 

When I posted a cover featuring Commissioner Gordon summoning Doctor Strange a week or so ago, Ken Roskos (a Patron of this Blog) and others said that the set up called for a follow up cover.  I had to agree, so here's what had Jim Gordon so concerned.

Doctor Strange and Commissioner Gordon

 

I can only imagine what kind of situation would cause Gordon to summon the Master of Mystic Arts for assistance.  It would certainly be fun to find out.

Gandalf and Doctor Strange

 

I'm not sure whether to be excited or not for the in-production Lord of the Rings: The Hunt For Gollum.  In my opinion, the LOTR movie trilogy is one of the greatest cinematic achievements ever.  The Hobbit films, however did not work nearly as well for me.  What could have been a great single film was expanded into a bloated trilogy.  Hopefully, lessons were learned from that. It will be nice to see Ian McKellan as Gandalf one last time.

The Spectre in the Marvel Universe

 

Just how different would things have turned out if this guy showed up on Battleworld during the first Secret Wars?  Who knows, but it certainly would have been fun to read about!

Doctor Strange and Hellboy

 

A Sanctum Sanctorum sapped of its magic is a mystery worthy of the paranormal investigation.  It would be interesting to see Hellboy trying to determine what is truly going on.

Doctor Strange and The Legion of Super-Heroes in: "Master of Mystic Interrogation!"

 

Based on the costumes, I'd say that this adventure takes place prior to Doctor Strange's first encounter with the LSH on this blog, back in STF #3546.  As for who the traitor might be in the scene above?  I never fully trusted someone who claims to be a descendant of Brainiac...

The Defenders and The Spectre

 

These guys are all heroes, but they've all done some shady stuff as well.  Not many heroes would give them pause, but being stared down by the Spectre has got to be an exception!

Doom Patrol and The Defenders in: "It's All in the Timing!"

 

I definitely think that these two teams go well together.  The Doom Patrol and The Defenders previously met in STF #3588.  The Patrol has also separately run into the Hulk in STF #2976 and Namor in STF #4344.  

The Atom and The Defenders

 

Can the world's greatest non-team subdue a dwarf star-infused hero out of control?  And just what happened to Ray Palmer anyway?  The answers are only sixty cents away!

Man-Bat and Doctor Strange in "No Escape From Castle Mordo!"

 

This is another example of a cover that required the removal and patching of portions before any new images could be added to it.  Here is a look at the behind the scenes progress:

Man-Bat and Dr. Strange Previously met in STF#2993 and STF #2833...

Doctor Mid-Nite and Dr. Strange in: "The Doctors Are Out!"

 

This is the third meeting between Doctors Mid-Nite and Strange, a pairing originally suggested by Bob Greenwade, frequent commenter and Patron of this Blog.  They were last seen with Dr. Fate in STF #3267 and they first met in STF #2721...

Teen Titans and Doctor Strange

 

One cool thing that I have liked about the Teen Titans is the variety of types of stories that were told with the team.  They could easily go from standard superhero fare to epic off-planet action to street level mysteries.  It would be cool to see them share a mystic adventure with Dr. Strange.

7 Soldiers of Victory and The Defenders

 

Uh oh! Mr. Universe is back for his 4th appearance and he looks more powerful than ever!  Let's hope the combined might of these two super-teams is enough to put him down for good!

The Flash and Doctor Strange (Vs. Abra Kadabra!)

 

With James Gunn's DCU featuring a universe where superheroes have existed for a long time, I really hope that we get a proper Justice Society with Jay Garrick, Ted Grant, Alan Scott and the rest.  I'd be happy to see them as older mentors or in their prime in a period piece... or why not both?

Doctor Strange met the Barry Allen Flash back in STF #728...

Jimmy Olsen and Doctor Strange

 

We saw Doctor Strange's frustration working with Peter Parker in Spider-Man: No Way Home, and I think there would be similar friction if he had to team up with Jimmy Olsen as well. Jimmy is no fool, but he does seem to be a magnet for chaos.  This could be an entertaining story to read.

Green Lantern & The Flash and The Defenders

 

Another pair of JLA members with a classic Marvel team again today, like on yesterday's cover. This time I feature the GL/Flash team, which made more sense to me as a kid than GL/Green Arrow.  You could always count on an action packed tale when Barry and Hal got together.

Doctor Strange Vs. Eclipso

 

I had previously featured a battle between these two as one of the back up stories in STF #2400, but I thought that this was a match up that was worthy of its own issue.  Doctor Stephen Strange is familiar with having to stave off his own darker side - The end of his last cinematic outing left him doing just that, after all - hopefully it will not be too many years before we see that plot point resolved.

Doctor Strange and Blue Beetle & Booster Gold

 

It looks like Beetle and Booster have found themselves in another fine mess.  Let's hope they can rescue Doc Strange and get back on his good side after their ill-fated attempt to join The Defenders way back in STF #165...

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.
