Hawk & Dove and Spider-Woman

 

I've been hoping to see a live action Spider-Woman for years.  I thought that the upcoming Madame Web movie might fulfill that wish.  The first trailer for the Sony movie has dropped, and there are no shortage of spider-powered women in there.  I'm nor sure if any of them are Jessica Drew, though.  I guess we'll have to keep on waiting.

Blue Devil and Banshee

 

In the comments section of a previous Blue Devil cover, Mike Shirley (a Patron of this Blog), suggested that Dan and Sean Cassidy may share a familial relation, and the idea appealed to me.  Thank you, Mike!  I've always like both characters and Banshee is that rare Ginger superhero that was actually portrayed by a Ginger in the movies.  It was a youthified version that was murdered off screen before the sequel hit, but at least they tried.

Hawkgirl and Storm

 

I'll never forget the comic in which Storm debuted her punk look with the leather outfit and mohawk. In those pre-internet days, a wild alteration in her appearance truly took readers by surprise - I remember Kitty Pryde mirroring my shock in the pages of the story. The new look didn't come completely out of nowhere, though.  Chris Claremont had written Ororo in such a way that the reader could see her desire for change.

Huntress and Hawkeye in: "Sister... Hacked!"

This is the sixth appearance on the blog featuring these heroic siblings.

They first appeared together in STF #505...

Next, they had a twisted family reunion in STF #1387... 

which continued into the next issue, STF #1388...

Then they visited their parents in STF #1877...

And the last time, they ran afoul of gangs in STF #2625...

In fact, I think it's time they get their own label:  Hawkeye/Huntress...

The Beast and Hellboy

Time for another all-Mignola cover.  I remember being impressed by his artwork on various Marvel titles and the Phantom Stranger mini-series in which he collaborated with P. Craig Russell.  It was Gotham by Gaslight, however, that really turned me into a fan.  His use of light and shadow was a perfect for for this turn of the century Batman, and it was a great comic reading experience.  I followed him to Hellboy, and it was great to really get to see him cut loose on his signature series.

Supergirl and Colossus

I was glad to see that Colossus is among the characters returning for X-Men: Days of Future Past.  His brief moment in X2: X-Men United was fun and I was hoping to see more of him in the third film.  He was in there, but again did not have much to do.  With such a huge cast for the newest film, I am not expecting much more screen time for him, but hopefully they will have fine tuned the armored up look by now.  We've seen enough films with fully CGI characters to know that having Colossus in his full metal glory for more than a few quick shots is more than doable.
