The Quarrymen in: "Welcome To The Second Stone Age!"

 It's been a while since I have featured The Quarrymen, one of this blogs first teams.  Who better to usher in a new Stone Age, after all?

The Quarrymen in: "Rock and Rule!"

 

I'm surprised that it took me until the fourth appearance of The Quarrymen to pit them against Terrax.  It seems like a natural confrontation, and I am betting that this former herald of Galactus will give them a run for their money.

The Quarrymen (The Animated Series!)

 

The Quarrymen continue to evolve in their fourth appearance.  The team began when The Thing met Igoo in STF #163, Blok joined in STF #270,  Badrock was recruited in STF #1185, and now they have their own cartoon show!  Despite the similarity of stony forms, these heroes all have very different personalities.  I bet this would actually be a fun group to follow.

The Quarrymen

Back in STF #270, I presented the beginnings of this team.  A few commented that Badrock from Image Comics would fit right in with the group I had assembled, and I have to agree.  So, now with their return appearance, they have added him in as a member,

Finally clear shots of The Thing from the upcoming Fantastic Four reboot have been making the rounds, and I am less than impressed.  I was happy to hear that they were going with a CGI Thing this time around because I figured they could make him look just like the comics.  Then design they came up with is way off - His size seems to change from image to image, his face is all wrong, he has too many fingers and for some reason he's not wearing pants in any of the pictures released.

Igoo, Concrete and Blok

I think that this would be a fun group in that despite their outward appearances, they all have very distinct personalities.  Igoo is the strong silent type, while Concrete would be more likely to use eloquence over brute force.  Blok brings in the youthful attitude and future perspective, while The Thing is the everyman that would unite the team together.  Between these four, I can see all sorts of possibilities for adventure.

Adam Strange and Space Ghost (Part One)

I haven't seen Adam Strange popping up in the new DCU, and that's too bad because DC had been doing a good job of featuring him prior to the relaunch.  Hopefully when he returns, he will not have strayed too far from the elements that made him great - a man of two worlds who uses science, courage and  ingenuity to battle outlandish menaces.

One great Alex Toth design deserves another, so I thought I would throw Igoo in here as well as Space Ghost.
