Flash Gordon and Ch'p

 

Admittedly, I made this cover to use my silly pun here - but I actually think it might make for a fun story!

Amanda Waller and The West Coast Avengers

 

I was expecting to see Amanda Waller appear at some point in Peacemaker season two, but she did not show up.  There was talk of a solo Waller series in the works, but I don't think that is happening any more.  Hopefully we will see Viola Davis back in the role in one of the DCU's upcoming projects.

Sub-Mariner and The Partridge Family

 


All can't truly be as it seems on this cover, can it?  I'm not sure, but I think I would have shelled out a couple of quarters and a dime to find out.

Samurai Jack and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

 

I was happy to hear that Samurai Jack creator Genndy Tartakovsky will be be bringing my on of my all time favorite cartoons, Primal, back for a third season.  The announcement was a big surprise since season two was years ago, and seemed to wrap up - but I love the new angle that's been announced going forward (which I would mention but it kind of spoils the end of season 2).

Gwen Stacy and The Phantom Stranger

 

Does the Phantom Stranger seek to turn her into Spider-Gwen, or is there another purpose for her  to serve that he has in mind?  The mysterious answer is only sixty cents away!

Robin (Damian Wayne) and Hawkeye (Kate Bishop)

 

There has been a lot of discussion abut who will play Batman in James Gunn's DCU.  Maybe even more important will be the casting for Damian Wayne.  I just hope they learned a lesson from Shazam! and find someone young enough to play the character for a few years.  We don't need to see a 22 year old Damian in the sequel.

Birdman and Hawkman in: "Breaking the Mind-Taker!"

 

Birdman met the Silver Age Hawkman in STF #1345, and previously shared an adventure with the Golden Age Hawkman in STF #1532.  When I saw the chance to use all Jerry Ordway artwork, I figured it was time to feature a third outing with the winged heroes fighting side by side.

Superman and Star Trek

 

Here's another movie crossover that would have blown my young mind.  Both franchises dealt with time travel, so who's to say the Man of Steel couldn't run into the original crew of the Enterprise?

Superman previously met captain Kirk on the blog in STF #4049...

The Shadow Vs. The Kingpin

 

There may be some evil lurking in the hearts of all men, but Wilson Fisk certainly has more than his share.  Certainly enough to gain the attention of The Shadow!

Magnus: Robot Fighter and Swamp Thing

 

These two heroes may not have much in common with one another, but it would be cool to see them fight side by side.  All it would take is the right kind of adversary to bring them together.  I think that these mechanical menaces would fit the bill nicely.

Kamandi Vs. Galactus in "The Contingency Plan!"

This story is a direct sequel to STF #4368, where The Last Boy on Earth first met The World Devourer.  For this follow up tale, I figured that it was only appropriate to use Jack Kirby images, as he was the artistic genius behind both characters.

Infinity Inc. Vs. The Masters of Evil

 

Filming has completed on Avengers: Doomsday, and the movie is in the editing and special effects stage.  Word is that a first look teaser will be included in front of the next Avatar film, with lots of speculation as to what it will show.  My favorite guess is that the movie may undergo a last minute surprise name change - to Avengers Vs. X-Men!

Space Ghost joins Star Wars

 

It was only a matter of time before the greatest animated space hero crossed paths with the rebels from a galaxy far, far away.  I think that this is a tale with the potential for grand heroics and wide screen adventure.

Iron Man Vs. Solomon Grundy

 

There was a lot of clutter removal and background extension required on this cover.  Here is a look at the behind the scenes progress:

Wonder Woman and Giant-Man

 


This cover is a rare example in which I actually own the original art to one of the components.  I picked this sweet Ron Wilson splash page up almost 20 years ago, and I still look at it daily.

4 Famous Co-Stars Join The Wacky Races

 

The Wacky Races was the ultimate cartoon crossover when I was a kid.  I figured I would have some of my favorite fictional vehicles join to competition for this issue.  I'm guessing this would be a seriously fast paced tale!

Justice League of America and Doc Savage

 

Between that signature haircut, the bulging muscles and the beautifully painted paperback covers, Doc Savage seemed like a superhero to me growing up.  I think he would he would have been right at home in a JLA adventure.

Thor and The Yellow Kid

 

I will be interested to see what Thor's role will be in Avengers: Doomsday.  As one of the final standing founding members, I imagine that he would be critical to the plot, but I'm not sure haw much of the film he will appear in.  Another question is whether this movie and the follow up Avengers: Secret Wars will be the cinematic swan song for the God of Thunder - until the inevitable MCU reboot that is!

Daffy, Bugs & Tweety enter The House of Mystery

 

Something tells me that Daffy got them into this mess and Bugs will have to figure a way out of it!  I loved the cartoons where Bugs Bunny would tangle with Witch Hazel, and I think this team up has a lot of potential for the same kind of antics.

The Demon and Two-Gun Kid

 

Time for another All-Kirby classic!  In addition to his superhero and monster comics, Jack Kirby also made quite an impression with his western heroes.
