The Line it is Drawn #211 - What If Famous Crossovers Happened at Different Comic Book Companies?

Welcome to our weekly gallery of amazing art by our great collection of artistic talent, all working from YOUR suggestions!

Go follow Comics Should Be Good on Twitter (if you have Twitter, that is - if you don't, you can go sign up). Here is our Twitter page... http://twitter.com/csbg. And here are the Comics Should Be Good writers who are on Twitter (the links go to the person's Twitter account) - myself, Greg Hatcher, Chad Nevett, Kelly Thompson, Bill Reed, Greg Burgas, Sonia Harris, Melissa K. and Ken H.

I update the blog's Twitter account updates whenever a new post is put up on the blog, so it's an easy way to keep up with the blog. In addition, I post new content on the blog's Twitter account.

Now on to the bit!

So every week, I ask a question here. You reply to it on our Twitter page (just write @csbg with your reply) and our blog sketch artists will each pick one of your suggestions and I will post them here every week. So every week you will have a new question and you will see the choices picked from the previous week. Here is an archive of all the previous editions of The Line It Is Drawn!

To qualify, you have to be following us when you reply - so go follow us and then give your answer to the following question/challenge (All suggestions due by 3pm Pacific Friday).

The topic is...

It's True Comic Book Detective time! Pick a solo comic book character and then come up with some sort of comic book-related case that you'd like to see them solve. Just a case title and our artists will figure out the rest. For instance, "Hawkeye and the Case of the Faulty Quinjet" or "Spider-Man and the Case of the Vanishing Wife." So your tweet should be in the format of "(Name of Superhero) and the Case of (Whatever you Want the Case to Be)"

Read on for the sketches that came about courtesy of the last question/challenge!

As suggested by Twitter user LuisJaimePena, Comic Book Crossovers with different company's characters instead. You know, Infinity Gauntlet with Darkseid and DC heroes, Secret Wars with the Valiant heroes. Stuff like that.

Enjoy!

I'll put them in alphabetical order based on the name of the Twitter user who made the suggestion.

DC's Acts of Vengeance

Marvel One Million

Nick Perks is the artist on this one. Here is Nick's website.

Nick provided some backstory on the characters in this piece:

Rainbow Hulk - Over time, Bruce Banner has absorbed the power of all the Hulks to become more powerful than ever.

iRon-M.A.N. - Ronald Stark, the man-maching hybrid son of Tony Stark and Jocasta, leader of the Neo-Luddites.

Thor-Father - Ruler of Asgard and Jotenheim, Father to Thrud, Magni, Mothi and Ullr, mightiest of the Avengers.

General America - Steve Rogers, veteran of countless conflicts, eternally young, embodying the spirit of America.

Sixty-Foot woman - Daughter of Hank Pym and Thundra - able to grow

or shrink and possessing enormous strength.

Suyin Strange - Daughter of Stephen Strange and an unknown woman, Mistress of the Mystic Arts.

Purple Spider - second clone of the son of Peter Parker's clone and the first clone of Mary-Jane Watson, married to the clone of Gwen Stacy.

But wait, you say, the 1000000th issue of Fantastic Four will be out in the year 85,296 - even in Marvel years that's about 8,000 years from now - surely there will be more changes than that?

Well, no, because readers don't like change and after a certain point, characters just stop getting older, or even get rebooted. That's the advantage comic characters have over the rest of us.

Marvel Kingdom Come

Nick Perks is also the artist on this one. Here is Nick's website.

Nick actually drew this one years ago. Since he wasn't on a weekly deadline at the time, he could spend the time to paint it. He showed it to me and I thought it would be a miscarriage of justice if I didn't share it this week! So here it is!
