Batman Vs. The Juggernaut

 

Comics lost another big talent this week with the passing of Sam Kieth.  His extremely unique style was simultaneously cartoonish and highly detailed, and his covers always stood out on the stands. RIP.

Wolverine and The Atom Vs. Aliens

 

Who is more prepared to take on a Xenomorph?  A berserker scrapper or a shrinking scientist?  Why not cover all the bases and have them join forces?  It would be a fun battle to watch play out, anyway!

Swamp Thing and Johnny Quest

 

Bernie Wrightson was a perfect artist to bring Swamp Thing to life.  He was a master of the human form, as well as light and shadow, and was also quite adept at creating cool creature designs.  That was a perfect set of skills to give readers an iconic muck encrusted mockery of a man that they would still root for, as well as a roster of creepy villains.  I know it worked on me!

Metamorpho Vs. Wolverine

So, Marvel wants to give the X-Men a rest for a while before introducing them into the MCU,  I'm sure they are also eager to use Wolverine, one of their most popular characters.  The solution to me is simple.  Introduce Logan and the concept of mutants in an Alpha Flight movie!  He started out on that team anyway, right?  Then they could move on to a Wolverine / Hulk fight, another key moment from the beginning of his comics career.  That's what I'd do, anyway!

The Junkyard Gang

Sure, it's easy to become a superhero if you are a playboy millionaire - but I am more impressed with those who have chosen such a path without those kinds of vast resources.  I thought it might be fun to have a group that consisted of heroes that wage their war on injustice despite coming from the opposite side of the financial spectrum.  Don't expect a fancy headquarters - but do expect action!

Darth Vader Vs. Wolverine

I finally watched Logan last night, and the reviews that said it was basically a western with a few mutant abilities thrown in were right.  I was a little puzzled about the inclusion of Professor X, he didn't really seem to do much in the film other than calm a few horses down.  Also, I'm wondering if I can enjoy any more X-Men films, now that I know pretty much all mutants will be destroyed in a few years anyway.

The Maxx & Wolverine / Shang-Chi Vs. The Flash

The Flash and Supergirl teamed up on TV this week and it was just what I needed after Superman v Batman: Dawn of Justice.  While the big theatrical release had a lot to like in terms of visuals, It was mostly a depressing affair about people who did not like having to be superheroes.  While the TV team up may have been limited budgetarily, it was nice to see the heroes enjoying themselves, even when the chips were down.  Plus, their Flash didn't have a man-bun.
