Darth Vader and He-Man

 

The worlds of Star Wars and Masters of the Universe seem perfect for a crossover.  I'm sure there are plenty of kids who did just that in toy form over the years, mixing and matching action figures and playsets. It would be cool to see these famous glowing weapons up against each other.

The Bondsmen in: "Beast Mode!"

 

This cover marks the third appearance of The Bondsmen.  They were first introduced in STF #564, and had to temporarily replace one of their own in STF #880... I just realized that Doc Savage is the only member of this team that has not regularly appeared on the big screen.  Why Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson hasn't taken a crack at bringing him to the movies, I do not know, it seems it would be a natural fit!

Adam Strange and Luke Skywalker

Continued from yesterday's cover, we see Adam has found an ally...

I watched The Clone Wars from time to time but was never that invested in the series.  Still, I was jonesing for more Star Wars after The Mandalorian ended on Disney+, so I decided to watch the final season.  The first episodes are OK, but the series really ends on a high note.  The final four episodes are fantastic and action packed, some of the best Star Wars material since Disney acquired the rights to the franchise.  Plus, they heavily feature Ahsoka Tano, a very cool character that will make her live action debut in the second season of The Mandalorian.

Adam will cross paths with Darth Vader later in his career, as told in STF #2832...

Daredevil and Hourman

It will be interesting to see Lou Ferrigno Jr. carrying on the family superhero mantle when he takes on the role of Hourman in the upcoming Stargirl series.  Hopefully he will have a sizable role, I'd like to see the hero better realized than he was in DC's Legends of Tomorrow. Some distant set photos indicate that his costume will be close to the comics, so that's a good sign.

Blackhawk and Airboy

I am assuming that the Han Solo movie will feature plenty of The Millenium Falcon, and it will be cool to see some of its secrets revealed.  Will we see a shiny new Falcon, from before years of modifications and battle damage?  Will we see the fabled Kessel Run?  How about when Solo won the Falcon from Lando Calrissian?  I'm betting we will see at least one of those scenarios.

Blackhawk and The Rocketeer

I remember with fondness DC's experiment with Action Comics Weekly.  While the decision to relegate Superman to a two-page story every week was an odd one, the rest of the features were filled with some real gems.  I remember really digging Wild Dog and Secret Six, two features I probably never would have sampled on my own.  Another find was Howard Chaykin's take on Blackhawk.  I loved the artwork and personality makeover that he gave the lead character, and wasn't surprised to see an ongoing series spring out of it.

The Punisher Vs. Hourman

We are only a couple of months away from the second season of Netflix' Daredevil, which I am sure I will devour instantly.  One thing I am most looking forward to is Jon Bernthal's performance as Frank Castle.  I am glad to hear that he will be very involved in the plot and not just a one or two episode guest star.  In the few photos released, we still haven't seen him wearing the classing Punisher skull shirt, though - hopefully we won't have to wait until the final episode for his signature look as we did with Daredevil himself.
