Daffy, Bugs & Tweety enter The House of Mystery

 

Something tells me that Daffy got them into this mess and Bugs will have to figure a way out of it!  I loved the cartoons where Bugs Bunny would tangle with Witch Hazel, and I think this team up has a lot of potential for the same kind of antics.

Hawkman and Conan in: "The Hyborian Incarnation!"

 

I presented a tale in which Conan met Hawkman in the present day back in STF #1652, and I thought that a follow up cover should feature the winged hero showing up in barbarian times.  Hawkman has been reincarnated throughout the years, so why not?

Captain Marvel and Swamp Thing

 

There have been some false alarms over the years, but Mar-Vell remains one of the few heroes to die in comics and remain dead, even decades later.  I am glad that the integrity of his story has been kept intact - but I wouldn't mind seeing some new stories featuring him in flashback tales from his prime.  

Son of Satan in the House of Mystery

 

There aren't a lot of places that would welcome Daimon Hellstrom as a tenant, but I think that The House of Mystery might just be one of them.  It would be interesting to see just what led him there, and what goes down once he spends the night. 

Iron Man and Ragman

 

These are two heroes that are not likely to cross paths, either in the types of cases they work on or in the the social circles that they travel in.  That's just what would make it interesting to me though.  It would be interesting for them each to see how the other half lives..

Swamp Thing and Daredevil in "Spawn of Ivo!"

I am curious as to how Swamp Thing will be realized visually in Doug Liman's upcoming Justice League Dark movie.  I assume they will not have a man in a rubber suit like in his previous live action efforts - but will he  be fully computer generated or a CGI/practical makeup hybrid?  Then comes the question of who will provide his voice an performance capture.

Swamp Thing and Daredevil first crossed paths in STF #785...

Doctor Strange and Swamp Thing in "Servitude of the Sorcerer Supreme"

Benedict Cumberbatch is set to play Doctor Strange for the upcoming Marvel movie, and I think they have made another excellent casting choice.  He is great as Sherlock Holmes and I have no doubt that he will be able to utter Strange's complex incantations with gravitas.  This was a movie I wasn't sure I would be interested in, but now I am very intrigued to see how it turns out.

These two previously met in STF #227...

Swamp Thing and Morbius

Swamp Thing is one of the coolest character in comics, but has really gotten cheesy treatments when it comes to movies and TV.  His first film was low budget and very hokey, but at least it tried to take itself somewhat seriously.  The sequel tried to go for a more tongue in cheek route, and wasn't any more successful at translating the character to live action.  Somehow those films led to a short lived TV series, which was just crazy bad... but I couldn't look away.  One episode had Swamp Thing hiding in a kid's closet and almost being found by his mom for nearly the whole 22 minutes.  Worst of all had to be the Swamp Thing animated series, complete with them song to the tune of "Wild Thing".  Yeesh.  C'mon, Warner Brothers - special effects are at a place now where we can finally have a truly cool Swamp Thing film experience!

Batman and Tarzan

I recently picked up the Dark Horse collection of Joe Kubert's run on Tarzan from the 70's. These are some of the most gorgeously illustrated comics ever, and since the plots are incredibly faithful to the original Edgar Rice Burroughs novels, the stories are truly gripping. If Hollywood should ever want to make an updated film version of Tarzan, the first few issues of that series could pretty much be the storyboard for the movie.

I remember watching the Batman/Tarzan Hour cartoon when I was a kid and wishing they would just team up once. I mean, they were on the same show! It would be years before DC would publish the crossover mini-series Batman/Tarzan: Claws of the Catwoman.
