Samurai Jack and Groo

 

This pairing comes about from a suggestion by Jeff O'Hare, a Patron of this blog.  Thanks, Jeff! though these two have quite different personalities, they share a warrior's spirit.  I think that they would actually work well together.

Batman in Dexter's Laboratory

 

Would these two be allies or find themselves at odds?  I'm not sure, but it would be a lot of fun to watch them interact - especially if it gaveus the chance to see a Genndy Tartakovsky-animated Batman!

Samurai Jack and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

 

I was happy to hear that Samurai Jack creator Genndy Tartakovsky will be be bringing my on of my all time favorite cartoons, Primal, back for a third season.  The announcement was a big surprise since season two was years ago, and seemed to wrap up - but I love the new angle that's been announced going forward (which I would mention but it kind of spoils the end of season 2).

Mace Windu and Samurai Jack

 

As a fan of both Star Wars and the animation of Genndy Tartakovsky, I was intrigued when I learned he had turned his talents on to a galaxy far, far away.  I was finally able to watch Tartakovsky's Clone Wars series on MAX, and it did not disappoint.  They are worth checking out for the light saber battles alone.

Power Man and Mighty Mouse

 

That's right - Mr. Universe is back!  We haven't seen the last of him either!  I have big plans for this new STF original recurring villain.  You can expect to see him up against all sorts of heroes in future covers.

Batman goes Primal

 

I have been a fan of the animation of Genndy Tartakovsky though his work on Samurai Jack, Clone Wars and more, so I was excited when I heard of his plans for Primal.  The animated series did not disappoint, I absolutely loved every episode.  It is easily my favorite non-superhero animated show of all time, and I give it the highest recommendation.

Stupendous Man and Power Man & Iron Fist

 

Genndy Tartakovsky wrote and illustrated a Cage mini-series that came out in 2016, and I would love to see an animated adaptation of it.  Tartakovsky's work on Samurai Jack, Clone Wars and especially Primal have made me into a giant fan of his, and I look forward to any new project that he announces.

Ghost Rider and Casper

 

It's not a surprise to me that Harvey Comics were so popular during my formative comic reading years.  They had an interesting roster of characters and their house art style was appealing to my young eyes.  The short one to six page stories were perfect for a young reader and made the comics a great entryway to more complicated stories.  I do wish there were more creator credits though, it's tough to determine which artists and writers were responsible for what.

Samurai Jack and Power Man

 

I am eagerly awaiting the return of Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal on a the Cartoon Network this coming Sunday night.  I absolutely loved the first five episodes and they ended on quite a cliffhanger.  Hopefully the series will continue on beyond ten episodes, in my opinion it is some of the best animation for TV ever produced.  I didn't realize Tartakovsky had worked on a Cage mini series, I'll have to check it out.

Powerpuff Girls and Power Girl

Power Girl is one of those characters that I am really surprised has not made the transition to live action yet.  I figured we might see her by now in the CW Supergirl series.  Is it simply because her outfit is considered too revealing in this PC age we live in?  That seems like a simple problem to solve, if that is indeed the case.

Samurai Jack and Katana

I was glad to see Samurai Jack return a few years back to finish up its epic story line.  It was great to see the final defeat of Aku and certainly wort the wait.  Still, I want to see some new episodes!  There's still plenty that can be done with the character and I love the visuals and direction of animation on the show.  Here's hoping we haven't seen the last of him.

The Tick and Samurai Jack

It would have been fun to see these two share an animated adventure.  Not only would it be cool to see Jack slicing through The Tick's rogues gallery, the clash in personalities between the heroes would make for some enjoyable interaction.  I am sure they would still see the heroic natures within one another, despite their differences.

Samurai Jack and Wolverine

Marvel's direct-to video animated offerings have been a mixed bag.  I have liked a couple but none have had the re-watchability of many of DC's efforts.  One exception to that rule is Hulk Vs. Wolverine/Hulk Vs. Thor.  The animation in that double feature seems to be a notch above Marvel's usual standards and both tales are quick paced and fun.  It's definitely my favorite animated version of Wolverine to date.  I'd love to see a Wolverine tale animated in the Samurai Jack style one of these days.

Samurai Jack and Usagi Yojimbo

I think that this would be an interesting match up.  Both a wandering warriors of few words  who are extremely proficient with a sword, no matter how big the odds they are facing. It is hard to say who would come out one top if they were ever to clash, but it would be a blast to read... even more fun to see animated!

Batman and Samurai Jack

Any fan of comics should check out the animated Samurai Jack, from The Cartoon Network.  The episodes are on Netflix now, and they are a great example of how animated on a limited budget can still look very cool when the art design and direction are working together.  The battle scenes are exciting and Phil LaMarr's voice work is perfect for the character.  I'd love to see some more adventures of this time-displaced warrior.
