Month: September 2018

Monday Mash-Ups #10

Back on my old blog, I ran a series of related posts on Mondays and I’ve been wanting to do something along those lines here.

So, and I admit to being HUGELY influenced by the wonderful Super-Team Family blog which has been doing this for years (and a lot better) on an almost daily basis, I’ve mashed up a few comic covers.

Each week I randomly generate two years and two months and then compare the titles I own from both those dates, trying to find some covers that, with a little basic photoshopping, I can mash together, and then I force the results on you lovely people.

Okay, I will hold my hand up – the Super-Team Family blog influence is now in full effect.

The last mash-ups I’ve done have all taken one or more characters and inserted them into the cover of another series; it took me nine attempts to work out that Ross over at Super-Team Family is actually creating his own covers by combining the characters into something new, not an existing cover. I hope he and any of his readers that happen to see this and the following mash-ups as respectful homages.

Who would you rather see as the new Green Lantern? Hal Jordan or John Carter? Hell, why not Carol Ferris or Dejah Thoris?

If Alan Moore Had Understood Computers…

. . . things might have been different.

Because that whole “Password incomplete: would you like to add rider?” panel has bugged me for years. Seriously – what computer allows you to enter a password and then says “Oooooh, so close – go on, have another go, you’re almost right!”

Monday Mash-Ups #9

Back on my old blog, I ran a series of related posts on Mondays and I’ve been wanting to do something along those lines here.

So, and I admit to being HUGELY influenced by the wonderful Super-Team Family blog which has been doing this for years (and a lot better) on an almost daily basis, I’ve mashed up a few comic covers.

Each week I randomly generate two years and two months and then compare the titles I own from both those dates, trying to find some covers that, with a little basic photoshopping, I can mash together, and then I force the results on you lovely people.

While not everything in the New 52 was a success, Frankenstein, Agent of SHADE deserved to last longer than it did, I thought; consistently fun and crazy at the same time. And hey, the original Infinity Inc, while of its time, was a good run, too.

As of next week’s Mash-Up, you might notice a change of approach to these.

And as an aside, it had to happen sooner or later – the excellent Super Team Family blog used one of the same covers that I’ve used in a post over the weekend; I used that same cover in Mash-Up #5.
