Wildfire and Wonder Man

 

Uh-oh, looks like Kang's Timeskipper needs some assistance after Kang's run in with Spider-Man and The Legion of Super-Heroes in STF #3671.  He still has a Legionnaire under his thrall though, along with an Avenger, thanks to Dr. Psycho's mind manipulation.  Let's hope they can break free and save the day.

Kang and The Legion of Doom

 

Loki ended up its two-season Disney+ arc in such a way that Marvel can easily either continue with Kang as a main villain or move on from him to a different franchise wide antagonist.  I haven't heard of any concrete plans as to what direction the studio will go in, and I imagine we won't until Jonathan Majors' court case is settled one way or another.  

Batgirl and Hawkeye

 

I wasn't very familiar with Kate Bishop from the comics, but id did enjoy the character on the Disney+ Hawkeye series.  She's supposed to anchor a Young Avengers team eventually in the MCU, so I am sure that we will see her again, it's just a matter of putting together the rest of the team.  Still, with the various strikes and Marvel deciding to slow their output, it might be some time before that comes to pass.

Deadman and The Watcher

 

Marvel has released the trailer to its next Disney+ Show - What If?  While the animation style will take a little getting used to, the stories it promises to tell sound like a lot of fun.  There are Tony Stark meeting Erik Killmonger, T'Challa becoming Starlord, Agent Carter taking on Captain America's shield, Marvel Zombies and more - we even saw Howard the Duck in there.  Jeffrey Wright has a great voice for The Watcher, hopefully he'll get to play the character in live action eventually as well.

The X-Men and Captain Comet

 

With the casting for Kamala Khan set, The MCU seems ready to dive into the world of Inhumans.  The Eternals is on the horizon as well, yet another secret race of super powered individuals on Earth.  This is all very cool, but does pose a problem for when Marvel wants to introduce the X-Men.  Will they be able to differentiate mutants from all of the other groups of superheroes out there?  Why would they be shunned by a world that is already so used to metahumans?

Coming tomorrow: STF #3100!

Hercules and The Herculoids

This was another no-brainer team-up that I somehow didn't think of, so I am thankful to Blog Patron Tim Stellmach for suggesting it to me. It's very cool to see The Herculoids back in comics again.  DC has been having fun with the Hanna-Barbera properties lately.  Seeing artists like Aaron Lopresti interpreting Alex Toth's designs is a real treat.

Darkseid Vs. Thanos

One of the frustrating things about DC dragging their feet in getting their characters up on the big screen is that they look like copycats even when their concepts may have come first.  A JLA fim is being planned, but there will have been two Avengers movies by the time it hits theaters.  The Flash is sure to be included, but Quicksilver will already have had his moment to shine.  DC waited too long to feature Brainiac in a Superman movie, and when they ultimately do, he may come off as an Ultron rip off, since that robotic Despot  received a starring role first.  Then of course there is Darkseid, DC's big villain.... who is going to look pretty similar to Thanos of the Marvel movies.  C'mon, DC - it doesn't matter if you have great characters if you keep getting beaten to the punch!
