Amalgam-Tober Day 6: The Knight Without Fear
I made a promise to myself when I started this project that I’d try to include as many “new” characters as possible in these amalgams. I wanted to focus on those that didn’t even exist yet when the original Amalgam Universe was born. What I didn’t realize was that I was going to include characters

Amalgam-Tober Day 5: The Absolute Immortal Mindfucker
A rare three-way-multi-dimensional Amalgam, The Absolute Martian Mindfucker is an amalgamation of The Hulk, Martian Manhunter and his Absolute counterpart. When I started off this amalgam, I wasn’t planning on touching on the Absolute version of the character. I had originally started off just combining Bruce Banner and J’onn J’onzz; the transforming that both characters

Amalgam-Tober Day 4: Blue-Spider (Jaime Morales)
Now this is the real reason I combined Peter Parker and Ted Kord for yesterday’s Amalgam. While those two ultimately fit together very well, putting their legacies together fits even more perfectly. Jaime Reyes’ Blue Beetle and Miles Morales’ Spider-Man are incredibly similar characters. Both young men who stumble on their bug-related-powers by accident, both

Amalgam-Tober Day 3: Blue-Spider (Ted Parker)
When I decided to put Peter Parker together with Ted Kord I did it for a few reasons; One has to remain a mystery till a later date, one is the general bug themed nature of both characters but the more interesting reason is Steve Ditko. Many know Ditko as the creator of Spider-Man, which

Amalgam-Tober Day 2: Polka-Spot Man
Polka-Spot Man, however odd or funny he might be, is why this whooolllleeee challenge exists. I drew this quite a few weeks ago and it triggered something in me. I drew another one and another one and before I knew it I had like five Amalgam’s in my files collecting dust. That’s how I got

Amalgam-Tober Day 1: Access
It’s Day One of AmalgamTober, with our first entry this month being ACCESS, the only Marvel and DC Co-Owned character that’s ever existed. Obviously it’s not ideal to start AMALGAM-tober with a character that is not an Amalgamation, but why not start my homage to the Amalgam Universe by honoring this little known anomaly! When

Brand New Day Could be Adapting The Craziest Punisher Story Ever
After many months of delays, rewrites and speculations it seems that “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” is finally starting production, and with it a load of new theories about what this fourth solo-Spidey film could entail. Even though more and more set photos leak, castings are announced and Twitter leakers continue to flap their gums, the

DC Studios’ Missing Piece – And How To Fix It!
The DCU has started. With the release of “Superman”, James Gunn and Peter Safran’s new cinematic DC Universe has finally and properly gotten off the ground (quite literally, Superman flies around – get it?). And as the future of the studio becomes clearer with each passing day – as more of these projects get the

Iron Man V Superman: Starting a Cinematic Universe
LOOK UP! It is finally upon us. The Summer of Superman is reaching new heights as audiences slowly but surely flock into theaters to watch James Gunn’s “Superman” film. A weirdly momentous moment for a whole platitude of reasons. Of course for starters: Hopefully it’ll turn the public’s perception of the blue boy scout around
