The Flash and Power Man

Uh oh!  You know it's a real Crisis when Barry Allen is smack dab in the middle of it!  But just how can a beat down on The Constrictor have world altering ramifications?  The answers are only sixty cents away! 

Power Man met the Wally West Flash in STF #4825...

 

Power Man & Iron Fist and Ragman

 

Daredevil: Born Again on Disney+ is off to a strong start, and we know that The Punisher is scheduled to appear in the series.  That gives me hope that other characters from the Netflix series will get another chance.  I'd love to see a Heroes for Hire series that also includes The Daughters of the Dragon.

Dial H For Hero and Power Man & Iron Fist

 

Yes, I know that Dial "H" For Heroes For Hire was another way to go with this team up.  I thought that might be a little too obvious though, so I decided to take the tale in a slightly different angle by having Robby summon forth the champion of Eternia.

Supergirl and Ms. Marvel in: "My Twisted Twin!"

 

This marks the 14th appearance of The Danvers Twins on this blog, and if there's any villain that can keep these loving sisters at each other's throats, it has to be the malicious Hate Monger.  Pity the pour soul that gets in the middle of these sparring siblings!

Power Man & Iron Fist Vs. Darkseid

 

I remember back in the late 90's when I was working on my big DC/Marvel crossover  story that featured Darkseid and Dr. Doom as the villain (the pencils for which are included on my 2000th STF post).  I really just did it for my own enjoyment and rarely ever showed anyone the pages.  There was one time when I brought a date over and thought she might be interested to see what I had done.  She looked over the pages, rolled her eyes and said, "You spelled Apocalypse wrong".  I pulled out my copy of Who's Who in the DC Universe to show her that I hadn't, but she remained unimpressed. Needless to say, that relationship did not last.

Batman and The Vision in: "Defeat and Repeat!"

 

Man, if not for this pandemic, we would have already seen The Batman in theaters.  Now we still have a full year to wait for it!  Let's hope they're using the extra time to perfect the product!  

Batman and The Vison have crossed paths before on the blog.  Once with the Scarlet Witch, and once in a very early B&B Cover...

I was able to pick up a Bob Kane Batman sketch many years ago:

It looks like Marvel is making up for lost Covid time and the second half of 2021 will be jam packed with content - four movies in addition to as many Disney+ shows.  This means we will be seeing Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings sooner than I thought (September 3).  Hopefully that means that publicity will kick into gear soon and we will finally get to see some footage in the form of a teaser or trailer.

Heppy to feature the work of Mike Zeck here.  Here's a sketch by him that I picked up several years back:

Power Girl and Power Man in: "The Anti-Affection Algorithm!"

 

Sweet Christmas indeed! It will be a mellow one for me this year, with the office Christmas party cancelled and no big family gathering for the first time ever in my life.  I will see at least one brother and maybe have a fleeting outdoor visit with my Mom, so I won't be completely alone.  I am glad I gave myself a year's subscription to HBO Max as a present, so I'll spend tomorrow with Wonder Woman even if Santa Claus isn't coming!

This Marks The 10th appearance of The Power Couple on this blog.

Man-Wolf and Jimmy Olsen

Man-Wolf was a great example of the crazy anything goes attitude that Marvel had in the 70's.  John Jameson went from being the son of a Spider-Man supporting character, to becoming a horror character, and then transformed into a cosmic hero, complete with a detailed George Perez outfit!  I guess sometimes you have to keep throwing a character at different walls and seeing when they stick!

Jimmy crossed paths with another Marvel Wolf in STF #769...
