Doop and Nibbler / Ch'p and Squirrel Girl

I thought I would throw together some of my favorite lower-profile characters on this cover.  Nibbler started out as a cute pet on Futurama, and was eventually revealed to be one of the most pivotal characters on the show.  Doop, the breakout star from Marvel's X-Statix, looks to be making a small comeback soon.  Squirrel Girl is one of the more inventive and unique Marvel heroines and her appearances are always fun.  Ch'p was a cool GL and I never quite forgave DC for running him over with a truck in Green Lantern: Mosaic.

Bonus points if you can properly translate Doop's speech balloon!

Deadman and Dead Girl

I gave up on trying to follow and make sense of the numerous reboots to the X-Men family of comics long ago, but every once in a while a creative team is announced on a title that gets me interested.  One such case was with X-Statix, by Peter Milligan and Mike Allred.  They created a team of heroes as pop-stars that was unlike anything I had seen from Marvel at that point.  Allred's design sense and Milligan's creativity made for an interesting group of characters and readers got to see some fun takes on various tropes from superhero comics.  Sadly, it only lasted a couple of years, although characters like Dead Girl and Doop have popped up since.
