Doctor Fate Vs. Dormammu

 

This cover required a bit of background extension and repair before I could add in Dr. Fate and the JLA Satellite.  Here's a look at the behind the scenes progress:

Justice Society of America and The Silver Surfer

 

James Gunn has stated that his new DCU will begin with a world already populated by super-heroes.  I'm hoping that provides an opening for a proper JSA that is set during WWII, with some members being sent forward in time eventually.  Even if they don't want to commit to a movie, the JSA would be a great candidate for an animated show.

Doctor Strange and The Legion of Super-Heroes

 

Here's another cover that comes about as a result of a conversation in the comments section of this blog. Thanks for the idea, Emsley Wyatt! I figured this would be a somewhat cluttered cover, and it is - but I managed to get everyone in there.  Let's just hope that Doctor Strange is a bit more careful with his spell casting than he is in Spider-Man: No Way Home!

Robin in The Marvel Universe

 

Loki was a fun series on Disney+.  I actually think it could haven been tightened up a bit, there was a lot of talking between the scattered action scenes.  Still, it was always interesting to see Tom Hiddleston and Owen Wilson interacting with one another.  My favorite episode was the one with all of the multiple Lokis, including Alligator Loki and Richard E. Grant doing a wonderful take on Classic Loki.  Plus we got to see cameos by Throg and the Thanos Copter!  The final episode with Jonathan Majors chewing the scenery was an intriguing introduction to Kang, but I am looking forward to Majors' take on a more sinister variant of the villain in future appearances.  The series didn't wrap up as neatly as I was expecting, but that's no big surprise since there is a season two on the way.

Adam Strange and Doctor Strange (Vs. Hugo Strange)

I was disappointed that Adam Strange never got the chance to become closer to his comic book version before Krypton was cancelled.  He may still get a chance to shine though - HBO Max is planning a Strange Adventures TV series, and I imagine the character will be a part of that.  I am also interested in the upcoming Adam Strange comic series by Tom King, Mitch Gerads and Doc Shaner.

This is the fourth appearance of the Strange boys on the blog.  They were last seen 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...

The Phantom Stranger Vs. Dormammu

It's been interesting to see the cinematic depictions of some of Marvel's truly larger than life villains.  Hela was realized perfectly (visually at least, there were some changes to her back story), as was The Red Skull ans Surtur.  Dormammu wasa  character that I thought would be very difficult to pull off, but I was impressed with how he was handled in Doctor Strange.  It gives me faith that we will finally see a proper Galactus on the big screen one day.
