I had previously featured a battle between these two as one of the back up stories in STF #2400, but I thought that this was a match up that was worthy of its own issue. Doctor Stephen Strange is familiar with having to stave off his own darker side - The end of his last cinematic outing left him doing just that, after all - hopefully it will not be too many years before we see that plot point resolved.
Spidey has had experience fighting a villain that controls sand, but what about all plant life? At least he has the full face mask to prevent her from giving him one of her hypno-kisses! It would be a fun battle to see.
I've had these two share adventures in team ups featuring the Invaders or the JSA, but never the two of them together. That surprised me and I decided it's time I remedied that.
Captain America shared adventures with the Barry Allen Flash in STF #3273 and STF #726...
I've been re-watching the entire run of Batman: The Brave and the Bold on HBO Max and it's just such a fun show. The love for DC Comics history shows in every episode, I'm amazed at some of the characters they decided to use. I can't seem to find Justice League Action on the service, however. I'd love to do a re-watch of that series as well - I'm not sure I caught all of the episodes when they were first briadcast.
And don't forget that The Spider-Buggy has seen action with Superman, as well...
As we pass the midway point in our week-ling tale, we see that Cat-Man is seeking revenge against Tigra for busting up his crime wave. Let's hope Uncle Ted has arrived in time. it's hard to see any reconciliation happening now - make sure you tune in tomorrow to see where this story goes next!
Regular STF visitors know that Tigra is Wildcat's niece, as outlined in STF #2551. They first shared a cover on STF #1265...
For the second part of our week-long tale, we see that this alliance between a hero and a villain was doomed to fail. At the first sight of adversity, Cat-Man has turned tail and abandoned his partner. You can bet she won't forget this if they should ever cross paths again - which they will in Part 3, coming tomorrow!
Presenting the longest continued tale yet for The Lost Issues - This pairing of feline-themed characters will span the years and include some special guest stars along the way. Here we see the beginning of the Tigra/Cat-Man team - but how successful can such an alliance be? Tune in tomorrow for chapter two to see where this story goes next!
It's almost a certainty that The Thing will be realized via CGI when The Fantastic Four finally join the MCU - but what design will be used? Will his features be modeled after the artwork of Jack Kirby, George Perez, John Byrne or someone else? If I was in charge, I would keep his look as close to Ron Wilson's depiction from his run on Marvel Two-In-One as possible, that's the Ben Grimm I see when I close my eyes.
Speaking of that title, Hawkman and The Thing last shared an adventure way back in my MTIO: The Lost Issues days in 2011.
One of the cool things about seeing different artists' interpretations of Batman is how they each choose to depict the Bat-Cave. It's still the coolest superhero HQ in my mind, and I'm sure its fun for each new illustrator to put their own spin on it. I'm looking forward to whatever version we will be getting in next year's The Batman movie.
Hawkman is one of the toughest looks to get right in live action. Previous attempts have always made the wings look too small to my eyes. The helmet is iconic, but tricky to get to look good from multiple angles. Plus, you need an actor with an incredible build to pull off the shirtless version. Aldis Hodge seems to have been working out, though (he would have to to be able to go up against The Rock!). Hopefully the costume designers for Black Adam will give him a suit and wings that finally do the character justice.
