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.

Blackhawk and Hellboy

 

These pilots have seen a lot in their adventures, but would they be prepared for a collaboration with The B.P.R.D.?  It would be fun to find out.  Thanks to Patrick McLaughlin for this suggestion!

Hellboy Vs. Aliens

 Hellboy has made a career of dealing with giant monsters, so I think that a mission featuring Xenomorphs would be right up his alley.  Having Mignola on the art chores would make the story even better.

Catwoman and Hellboy meet Boo Berry

 

I am always happy to feature the artwork of Mike Mignola on this blog.  Just seeing these three together already starts a story rolling around in my mind, and having it illustrated by a master of light and dark like Mignola would truly make it into something special.

Hellboy and Gargoyles

 

There was talk of a live action Gargoyles movie a few years ago, but I haven't heard much about it since the projects announcement.  It appears to still be in development, so hopefully we will hear about some forward momentum soon.  If done right, it could be a very cool film.  Thanks to Mike Shirley, a Patron of this Blog, for suggesting this team up!

Brother Voodoo and Hellboy

 

Has anybody checked out the Hellboy: The Crooked Man movie?  The reviews that I saw during its brief run said that the limited budget was very noticeable, but that the story was pretty faithful to the comics. I couldn't even finish the previous David Harbour Hellboy movie, so I hope it is better than that.

The Spectre and Young Hellboy

 

The adventures of Superman when he was a boy may have been retconned away, but I am glad that Hellboy's history has stayed intact at least.  It's cool to see the younger version of the BPRD's most famous member.  The Spectre was able to work well with others in his first few years as a hero, so I can see this team up happening.

Devil Dinosaur and Hellboy

 

A big red bruiser with a tail?  Something tells me that Hellboy would feel a bit of kinship with Devil Dinosaur. It would be a hoot to see them share an adventure together.

Metamorpho and Hellboy

 

These two always seemed to have similar personalities to me, so I suspect that they would work well together. Hellboy is always coming across strange looking beings with fantastical powers, so joining forces with Rex Mason would just be another day on the job for him.

The Damned (The Animated Series!)

 

I thought that it was time that one of STF's earliest teams received their own cartoon show.  I'm guessing that this on might have a hard time getting past the network censors, though!  This is the Third appearance of The Damned on this blog - They were last seen facing Satan's retribution in STF #1890, and first appeared way back in STF #176...

Samurai Jack, Young Hellboy and Casper

 To my surprise it seems that there is yet a third live action film incarnation of Hellboy in the works.  At first, I thought it was just speculation, but casting announcements have already been made.  Hellboy: The Crooked Man will be co-written by Mike Mignola and star Jack Kesy in the title role.  It will be interesting to see how this attempt fares in comparison to the other two.

Hellboy and Warlord

 

There's talk from time to time about finally getting Guillermo Del Toro finally finishing his Hellboy trilogy, but I don't see it happening.  Ron Perlman is in his 70's now and Selma Blair's multiple sclerosis might make it tough to do an action role, but they may both still be willing.  Still, I don't think the box office potential is there for Universal Pictures to want to take the plunge.  Perhaps an alternative would be something smaller on a streaming service just to show how the story ends?

Hellboy Vs. Eclipso

 

I was interested to read that Ron Perlman say that, despite now being in his 70's, he is willing to do one more movie to finish out his Hellboy trilogy if the studios want to make it and if Guillermo Del Toro is ready to direct.  I'm guessing this would ignore the ill-received reboot from a few years ago.  I know I'd be interested, but I'm not holding my breath waiting for Universal Pictures or whoever has the rights today to greenlight the project. I'd definitely want Liz to return as well, but Selma Blair has her own medical issues these days, I don't know how much acting she still does.  Still, I'd love to be pleasantly surprised, I like the first two Hellboy movies quite a bit.

The Thing and 4 Famous Co-Stars!

 

You know what I'm thankful for today?  All of the awesome visitors who make time to stop by and check out these covers.  I am especially thankful to those who leave comments and let me know what they think. 

I've had a few requests for a Thing-led poker night cover, and I finally got around to it here.  I had fun deciding who Ben Grimm might include.  He already had a poker buddy in Lando Calrissian from STF #1943, and back in my MTIO: The Lost Issues days he met Jonah Hex, Wildcat and Hellboy... I'd love to be a fly on the wall for this game.

Hellboy and Lobo

 

Lobo doesn't really get along with a lot of characters, but I think that he might not mind working with Hellboy.  The last Czarnian always welcomes a good fight and Hellboy knows where all the best monsters are hidden.  I can definitely see the two of them cutting a wide path through the nether realm.

Superman and Hellboy

 

It's always interesting to see Superman have to contend with supernatural situations, so this could be an interesting pairing to read about.  Who knows what mischief Jimmy got into to warrant the attention of the underworld?  

Hellboy Vs. Darkseid

 

I have to admit, I wasn't always a big Darkseid fan.  I was not hugely into Jack Kirby's Fourth World tales as a kid, and the biggest impact that the ruler of Apokolips had for me was his appearances taking on The Legion of Super Heroes in the Great Darkness Saga.  What really got me interested was Superman: The Animated Series.  Through the extended story arc there and then continuing in Justice League and Justice League Unlimited,  I finally understood what the big deal was.  It will be interesting to see how he is handled on The Snyder Cut of the Justice League movie.

Hellboy and Wonder Woman

Fans got their way with the announcement that the Snyder Cut of Justice League will be completed and presented on HBO Max.  Now there's lots of talk of an Ayer Cut of Suicide Squad, since much of that movie was lost in editing.  It's nice to know that studios pay attention to some of these online movements.  I wonder what it would take to allow Guillermo Del Toro to complete his Hellboy Trilogy, after the poorly received reboot all but killed the franchise.

Hellboy, Gargoyle and Constantine

For me, John  Constantine has become the best part of DC's Legends of Tomorrow.  The rest of the cast can get a bit too goofy for me, so I like the more serious occult sub plots that he gets into.  I liked his solo series as well, for as long as it lasted.  Now if they could only find a way to bring back The Spectre, who was teased in that show!

Hellboy and The Demon

More footage from the Hellboy reboot have been released, and I will say that it was a step up from what I had seen before and that there are definitely some interesting visuals in there.   The brief glimpse of baby Hellboy was a hoot.  I'm still not quite sold on the look of Hellboy himself though, I prefer the make up that Ron Perlman sported. Still, I'll keep an open mind and hopefully this new version will be a pleasant surprise.
