The Flash Vs. The Red Skull

 

I'm not sure what type of mystical shenanigans that the Red Skull has gotten into to give him the edge over two Flashes, but it would be interesting to find out.  And then, it would be entertaining to watch Jay and Barry give him his comeuppance.

Mister Miracle and Invisible Girl

 

I hear Vanessa Kirby is a standout as Sue Storm in Fantastic Four: First Steps.  I look forward to seeing what kind of innovative ways she uses her powers in the film, as well as her relationship with Reed, Johnny and Ben.

The Spectre and The Vision

Thugs and gangsters never stood much of a chance against these two ultra powerful heroes.  It will take a mystical threat to challenge their combined forces.

 

Robotman and Giant-Man

 

I guess I have read so many groan inducing puns in the comments section of this blog, that it's starting to rub off on me, because the one above even makes me wince.  Still, It does seem to be the kind of thing that Cliff Steele might say, and it would definitely be cool to see him working alongside Hank Pym.

Iron Man and The Human Bomb

 

Uh oh!  Hopefully this isn't just a one-page comic story.  Tony Stark's armor will protect him, but what about the surrounding city?  The bombastic battle is only sixty cents away!

Superman and Triton

 

I always liked the design of Triton.  As much as I enjoyed Aquaman and Namor as characters, Triton's appearance seemed to make a lot more sense for a hero that spends his time beneath the waves. Plus, he just looked really cool!

Katana and Valkyrie

 

Katana is better at wielding a sword, but Valkyrie has Asgardian strength to back her up.  This would be an interesting match up.  But just why would Brunnhilde want The Soultaker in the first place?

The X-Men Vs. Batman's Villains

 

I feel that this would be an interesting series of match-ups, worthy of 100 pages.  Do you think the children of the atom have what it takes to defeat Gotham's most infamous foes? 

Here's a look at the full size versions of this issue's features: 

Zatara Vs. Loki

 

I am guessing that Loki will play a pivotal role in Avengers: Doomsday.  Not only because of Tom Hiddleston's popularity in the role, but also because of where we last saw the character.  Loki was placed in charge of keeping all of the timelines intact, and I'm betting that that will play a factor in whatever multiversal shenanigans Doom is planning. Who knows - with the movie delayed we now have a lot more time to speculate.

The Thing and Batman in: "March Of The Monster Men!"

 

Batman and The Thing are my favorite characters from from DC and Marvel, and they have met before in other Lost Issues -  They were trapped in the Microverse in STF #4192, They quarreled over Aunt Petunia in STF #3322... They had a boxing match in STF #2455... They faced a fiery situation in STF #554... They topped off an Anniversary Issue in STF #500... before that, They battled the Riddler/Trapster team... earlier, The Thing discovered the Bat Cave... and was handed control of The Outsiders... not to mention This Whole Blog... and finally, they first appeared together in one of my earliest covers...

Deathlok and The Demon

These are two characters that I really want to see on the big screen.  Deathlok's appearance on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was low rent and underwhelming, he realy needs a proper chance to shine. Etrigan has never even had a chance at live action.  I bet James Gunn could have a lot of fun with him.

 

Wolverine and OMAC

 

Logan could also be described as a one man army corps, so this is a pairing that I think could work well.  Now that I see them side by side, it makes me wonder - did Jack Kirby ever draw Wolverine for Marvel?  I can't think of a time he did, let me know if I am forgetting an issue.

Jack of Hearts and Starman

 

These two space-faring heroes my not be as well known as some others, but I always enjoyed their appearances. They have two examples of awesome costumes as well, one simple yet effective, the other complex but cool in its own way.

The Spectre and The Hulk

 

When you have simultaneously ticked off both The Spectre and The Hulk, you know that you have really messed up.  I'd like to see just who has gotten themselves in that predicament and how the vengeance of these heroes plays out.

Captain Marvel Jr. and Bucky in: "Bunker Busters!"

 Freddy Freeman previously met Bucky Barnes in STF #2934, and I thought that I would revisit this pairing.  This time out, they have the despicable Red Skull to contend with.

Iron Man and Captain Marvel (Vs. Black Adam and Radio-Active Man!)

 

Stories in which heroes swap villains have always appealed to me.  Acts of Vengeance remains one of my favorite Marvel crossovers.  I thought that I would go that route for this cover.  Iron Man and Captain Marvel previously met in STF #4588 and shared an adventure with The Avengers in STF #259 and the Avengers and Marvel Family in STF #1518...

Coming tomorrow: STF #4700!

Fantastic Four and Hawkman

 

Of all the DC characters that I wish I had seen Jack Kirby illustrate more, Hawkman would be at the top of the list.  He worked on the character in the Super Powers mini-series, and a sketch or two - and I really loved his take on the winged wonder.  How cool would it have been to see Kirby really let loos with a Hawkman series of his own?

Captain America and Doctor Fate

 

This one would be like one of those hidden gem Golden Age tales that I discovered as a back up tale in a 100-Page Giant or Annual back in the day.  It was cool as a young reader to get a peek at comics from an earlier era.

Mister Miracle and Devil Dinosaur

 

It's time for another all-Kirby classic.  Scott Free has made a lot of great escapes in his day, but can even he break free from the bonds of time? It would be fun to see how he got in to this situation - and how he gets out!

Hercules and The Tick

 

Now these two heroes I am sure would get along.  Their heroism loving personalities with a dash of vanity and great strength to back up their boasts would probably make them fast friends.  It would be a fun romp to see them working togather.
