Zatara Vs. Loki

 

I am guessing that Loki will play a pivotal role in Avengers: Doomsday.  Not only because of Tom Hiddleston's popularity in the role, but also because of where we last saw the character.  Loki was placed in charge of keeping all of the timelines intact, and I'm betting that that will play a factor in whatever multiversal shenanigans Doom is planning. Who knows - with the movie delayed we now have a lot more time to speculate.

Skyrocket and The Invaders

 

DC Comics may have forgotten about Skyrocket, but I haven't.  She's too cool of a character to keep on the shelf.  Hopefully they will realize her worth and create a comic that can present her further adventures.

Iron Man Vs. Solomon Grundy

 

A man whose technology has him living on borrowed time versus a menace with a body chemistry that will not let him stay dead.  Yes, this could make for an interesting match up.

Starman and Space Ghost

 

A couple of cosmos inspired heroes stumbling upon a mystery on the Transformers homeworld is just the kind of set up to catch my attention when perusing the new comics rack. I think this one would have definitely made it into the buy pile.

Captain Marvel and The Doom Patrol

 

I was kind of indifferent about The High Evolutionary when he would show up in a comic.  He was another otherworldly villain with an odd design.  Now that I  have watched him as the main antagonist in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, I see him and think, "Ooh, I really hate that guy!"

Mar-Vell first met the Doom Patrol in STF #4505...

Daredevil and Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law

 

Harvey Birdman met up with plenty of other heroes on his late night show.  It's too bad that Marvel characters were off limits, because having Daredevil show up would have seemed natural.  Oh well, that's what this blog is for, presenting the team ups that should have happened already!

The IMProbables in: "Quarreling With Q!"

 

I wondered who could be a foil for a team as powerful as The IMProbables, and then it dawned on me.  Q has been long overdue for an appearance on this blog, and this seemed like a perfect opportunity to use him.  This issue would be 22 pages of pure chaos!

Human Torch and Cyborg

 

In this, his 10th appearance, Mr. Universe proves that a truce with him was never going to last.  Let's hope that Victor and Johnny can turn STF's signature villain back before he returns to full power!

Xena Vs. Aliens

 

Yesterday's cover featured The Phantom vs. Predator, and I felt like this would make for a suitable follow up.  I watched Xena take down a lot of big monsters on her show, but she may have met her match here. Let's hope she can find away to emerge triumphant.

The Phantom Vs. Predator

 

In my world, the 90's Phantom movie would have spawned a bunch of sequels.  This would have made for an exciting one, I think. But with a Predator taking on the Ghost Who Walks, who might an Alien battle?  You can find out right here tomorrow!

Justice League of America and The Sentry

 

Thunderbolts* has received better reviews than most of the recent Marvel output, but the box office numbers have not seemed to reflect that.  I'll catch it on Disney+ down the road.  I hear that The Sentry isn't in it all that much, but that his scenes are pretty cool. I look forward to checking to movie out.

Silver Surfer and Starro

 

It will be interesting to see how the Shalla-Bal Silver Surfer is handles in Fantastic Four: First Steps. Will she survive the events of the movie, or will she make some grand sacrifice, paving the way for the classic Surfer from the comics? I guess we will all find out soon enough.

Fantastic Four and Power Girl


 She would make a formidable addition to the team!  Power Girl and She-Hulk have a history on this blg.  They first met in STF #1482, They faced the Psycho Pirate in STF#3743, and were last seen battling Mr. Universe in STF #4580...

Moon Knight and Hawk & Dove

Being the youngest of 5 boys in my family, I knew all about battling brothers growing up.  So the bickering between siblings that I read in their adventures rung true to me.  At least they still worked together in the en. Poor Moon Knight had to bicker between his own multiple personalities.

Banshee and Blue Devil Vs. Mongul

 

This marks the fourth appearance of the Cassidy Cousins.  They  faced their unlucky curse head on in STF #4414, They met up with their Uncle Ted in STF #4282, and first were featured together in STF #3875...

Genie and Shazzan

 

Hmm... have these two actually found a loophole or would this maneuver be against the Magic Genie Code of Conduct? Other than their freedom, what might they wish for?

Sub-Mariner and Blackhawk in: Crimes of the Killer Shark

 

It's good to see these two working together, after they were clearly at odds when they first met on this blog in STF #3855. I wouldn't want to be in the Killer Shark's flippers right now...

Mace Windu and Samurai Jack

 

As a fan of both Star Wars and the animation of Genndy Tartakovsky, I was intrigued when I learned he had turned his talents on to a galaxy far, far away.  I was finally able to watch Tartakovsky's Clone Wars series on MAX, and it did not disappoint.  They are worth checking out for the light saber battles alone.

Elongated Man and Ant-Man & The Wasp

 

I always enjoyed the backup tales featuring Ralph and Sue Dibny involved in a quick mystery.  Clever twists and cool stretching scenes made them a delight to read.  I can definitely see Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne joining in on of their investigations.

Green Lantern and Black Bolt

 

STF's greatest villain is back for his 9th appearance!  Can our heroes trust him, or are they due for a double-cross?  The answers are just 60 cents away...
