Cannon and Sabre could TOTALLY have new life in a "Ma Hunkle/JSA" way if they use them right. Now working as nannies for gender reassigned super-baby day care (Cerdia/Cerdian, Lian, Speedy's HIV infected love child), Mraschall and Henry "Hank, now married and working for the law as bounty hunters in their spare time take on a recently converted to good Rose Wilson as an adopted teen. She rejects her fathers influeance and changes her name from Ravager to Redeemer. It could totally work.R Greenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11109345943099159368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-1123002040029979042005-08-02T12:00:00.000-05:002005-08-02T12:00:00.000-05:00It would be a violation of the Man-Thing concept i...It would be a violation of the Man-Thing concept if the focus was not on the so-caled supporting cast.<BR/><BR/>Remember that Manny is not a character; he's a mcguffin.Chris Arndthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01321490069571209332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-1123001119956058482005-08-02T11:45:00.000-05:002005-08-02T11:45:00.000-05:00See?

Cannon .. er, Sabre .. the one with the Moe haircut (a flaming 'mo haircut, in fact) is giving the other a vigorous rubdown, while they discuss their next assignment.<BR/><BR/>The scene ends with Moe casting a louche lingering look at his partner's (off-panel) tuchus, while bringing the champagne bottle into frame.....<BR/><BR/>I was, as they say, agog. Not aghast, mind you.

Hah!<BR/><BR/>So, I have to ask...are you gonna follow it up with the logical sequel--Marvel characters that you'd trade to DC?<BR/><BR/>I nominate <B>Man-Thing</B>. Nobody's done anything decent with him since Claremont (god, that was 30 years ago), and even those books were more about the supporting cast than Manny himself. A decent Vertigo or DC universe writer could make Man-Thing interesting, spooky, AND different than Swamp Thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-1122908140134330142005-08-01T09:55:00.001-05:002005-08-01T09:55:00.001-05:00Good point, Derek, and not a bad rationale for spa...Good point, Derek, and not a bad rationale for sparing them both.Scipiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16217376618860561999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-1122908102175159732005-08-01T09:55:00.000-05:002005-08-01T09:55:00.000-05:00He wouldn't be alone, Devon ... he'd have lots of ...He wouldn't be alone, Devon ... he'd have lots of company at Marvel!Scipiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16217376618860561999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-1122905511315317682005-08-01T09:11:00.001-05:002005-08-01T09:11:00.001-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Devon Sandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08223057696498728357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-1122905508662406092005-08-01T09:11:00.000-05:002005-08-01T09:11:00.000-05:00Leave Deathstroke ALONE.Leave Deathstroke ALONE.Devon Sandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08223057696498728357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-1122898991545369932005-08-01T07:23:00.000-05:002005-08-01T07:23:00.000-05:00Point taken!I'll consider those nominations for De...Point taken!<BR/><BR/>I'll consider those nominations for Deadbolt, Deadshot, Bolt, and Deathstroke, all of whom would work better in the Marvel Universe.Scipiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16217376618860561999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-1122897296526894762005-08-01T06:54:00.000-05:002005-08-01T06:54:00.000-05:00Deathstroke.....KrisDeathstroke.....<BR/><BR/>KrisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-1122893168792709762005-08-01T05:46:00.000-05:002005-08-01T05:46:00.000-05:00Deadbolt, Deadshot, Bolt, League of Assassins! etc...Deadbolt, Deadshot, Bolt, <I>League</I> of Assassins! etc. etc.<BR/><BR/>Seems to me there are quite a few assassins in the DCverse...Martin Wissehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04612094541576041276noreply@blogger.com
