Alpha Flight Vs. Brainiac

 

It has been announced that Brainiac with finally be making his big screen debut in Man of Tomorrow.  Decades overdue, I'd say!  I can't wait to see what design they go with for the villain, as there have been so many different incarnations.  

This cover required quite a bit of de-cluttering before I could add Alpha Flight in.  Here's a look at the behind the scenes progress:

Sasquatch and Captain Canuck

 

I remember during the comics boom of the 90's, all sorts of new superhero teams were popping up, most of which did not last very long.  One thing they all seemed to have in common was "the big guy in the back".  Every group shot seemed to have one member of giant proportions standing behind the rest of the teammates.  I don't know if it was because the writers all liked these oversized characters, or if the artists would just rather draw another hero than a background, but there were lots of examples of this.  Sasquatch was the big guy in the back for Alpha Flight, but he did it before it became a cliche!  look forward to Marvel Phase 8 or whenever he and Alpha Flight will make their MCU debut!

Venom Vs. The Mask

I have to hand it to Sony Pictures.  While there had been lots of speculation about the Venom Sequel, and whether Tom Holland's Spider-Man would appear in it, they decided to throw fans a curve.  The Morbius trailer not only featured Spider-Man imagery (reflecting the hero's new status following Far From Home), Michael Keaton's Vulture actually showed up  in it, connecting the solo Sony film with the MCU Spidey.  I know it certainly got me more interested in a project that I hadn't been paying too much attention to.

Thank you to Mike Shirley, a patron of this blog, for suggesting this match up!
