Swamp Thing and The Beast

 

This cover required quite a bit of tinkering before I could add in Hank McCoy.  Text and a character had to be removed and the backgrounds replaced on those spots.  Then I had to move the foreground bad guys back a bit, which required some more rebuilding;  Here is a look at the behind the scenes progress:

Groo the Wanderer and Darth Vader

 

This battle between simpleton and Sith may seem a bit one-sided, but Groo has a way of overcoming impossible odds.  It would be a kick to watch their interaction, especially if the amazing Sergio Aragones were to illustrate it!

Dick Tracy and Captain Marvel in: "Fisticuffs and Forensics!"

 

Maybe it's the squinty eyes, but these two always seem to fit together, despite the different types of stories that they get involved in. I can definitely see them forming a World's Finest type partnership.  Dick Tracy and Captain Marvel first met on the blog in STF #1322...

The Phantom Vs. Kraven the Hunter

 

I'm really curious to see how the Kraven movie will do after Madame Web crashed and burned at the box office.  It will be interesting to see how Sony markets the film.  Will it strike a chord with audiences like the first Venom, or will it be another Morbius?

Captain Marvel and Black Lightning in: "Escape From The Negative Zone!

 

For the conclusion to this three-part tale, we find that leaving The Negative Zone may not be quite as easy as getting there.  Let's hope that our heroes can avoid all the booby traps left by the defeated Annihilus!

Captain Marvel and Black Lightning (Vs. Annihilus!)

 

For Part Two of our Three-Part Epic, we now see which member of The Outsiders the Mar-Vell needed to help complete his mission. Make sure you come back again tomorrow for the thrilling conclusion!

Batman and the Outsiders and Captain Marvel


 Presenting Part One of a Three-Part Epic!  It looks as though Mar-Vell intends to take one of the team far past the boundaries of Gotham - but who will he choose?  Make sure you come back tomorrow for Part Two of this saga to find out!

The Legion of Super-Heroes and The New Warriors

 

Well, this certainly looks like it will be a crowded issue.  Let's hope that the LSH and their time traveling visitors can stop tripping over each other long enough to face of against whatever threat has brought them together!

Thunder-Bunny and Captain Carrot

 

These two are both members of BunnyBunch, but Tom Brennan, a Patron of this Blog, thought it would be cool to see just the two of them together, using the less cartoony version of Captain Carrot.  Well, here you go, Tom!  Thank you for the idea and for being a Patron!

Metamorpho and Moon Knight

 

These two heroes both have ties to Egypt, so it was only a matter of time before they crossed paths.  Too bad a new shocking villain team has been formed to zap their chances at a successful partnership!

The Green Lantern Corps and The Incredibles

 

I quite enjoyed the CGI Green Lantern and Beware the Batman series from several years back. The characters designs were done well and there were some truly impressive action sequences.  Some of the backgrounds could have been a little more detailed - lots of scenes taking place in giant empty rooms with maybe a single desk in them - but other than that the animation was pretty solid.  Hopefully, we'll see some more superhero shows in that format.

Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band and Sgt. Rock

 

This has been a team up that has been tickling my brain for years, and I finally got around to creating it. Rock may have to count them out if he says he wants a revolution - but perhaps they can remind him that all he needs is love.

Firestorm and Storm

 


This somewhat simple looking cover required a bit of editing before Firestorm could be added into the mix.  here's a look at the behind the scenes progress:

Sub-Mariner and The Doom Patrol

 


Namor could have some problems working with others, but I think that maybe he would find some common ground with a team of freaks that are shunned by society. There is potential for an interesting tale by mixing him in with Niles Caulder's team.

Lex Luthor Vs. Ultron

 

Lex Luthor has had enough experience with Brainiac that he might just have some contingency plans to deal with the robotic likes of Ultron.  At least he has a big enough ego to try... too bad for him that Ultron can match him in the ego department!

Guardians of the Galaxy and Superboy

 

Superman (formerly Superman: Legacy) has officially begun filming. It will be interesting to see how the Man of Steel's status as Earth's premiere hero will be presented, given that it doesn't look like he will have been the first costumed crimefighter in operation, never mind having a previous career as Superboy.  This seems like a passion project for Director and Writer James Gunn, so I will remain cautiously optimistic about how it all turns out.

Batman and Agatha Harkness

 

The Agatha Harkness Disney+ series, which has gone through so many name changes that I'm not sure what has been settled on, seems to be in a state of flux.  Like many of their recent projects, Marvel has pushed back its airdate and are reportedly doing extensive reshoots.  I really did enjoy Katherine Hahn in the role, so I hope that the final product is up to Marvels' standards - well, their standards from about four or five years ago, that is.

The Spot Vs. The Shadow Thief

 

I was glad to see The Spot get the, well, spotlight in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.  He had an interesting look and power set in the comics, and the movie presented both well. The Shadow Thief is one of my all time favorite villains for his unique appearance and abilities.  I'd love to see a story where these two mix it up.

Justice League of America and Machine Man

 

The JLA was known to be a team that is inclusive to robots, so I think they would welcome Aaron Stack with open arms.  That is, if  he is able to find out who replaced them!  I think that this could make for a fun tale.

Sabretooth Vs. Predator

 

Marvel and Predator rights are under that same company now, so this has a better chance of happening than most pairings on this blog.  It definitely would be a wild battle - Sabretooth never holds back, which would need to be the case in order for him to take on the galaxy's greatest hunter.
