Fantasy Team-Up: Black Panther and Deadman

TGIT!!!!

Okay so this one came to me last week, and I figured, Hey this would make a good pairing for Fantasy Team-Up.

Black Panther and Deadman.




At first glance you'd think these two really don't have anything even remotely in common.
Well you'd be wrong. Dead wrong.

Ever since writer Jonathan Hickman got his hands on T'Challa and re-inserted him into Marvel's super-group the Illuminati, his star power and importance in the MU has grown and grown.

As has his abilities.
After a vicious sneak attack by Dr. Doom forced T'Challa to have to chose his sister Shuri to take his place as the new Black Panther and ruler of Wakanda, T'Challa found himself bereft of his usual abilities and enhancements.
So he sought out the Panther god Bast and after having to choose between being King of Wakanda again (which would've meant automatic death for his sister) or become Bast's King of Necropolis, T'Challa chose to become the King of the Dead and the powers that that title entailed.

So, now that you've learned about that, what do you think now about the pairing of T'Challa and Deadman?

In my scenario Rama Kushna (the deity responsible for Boston Brand's resurrection into the hero we know as Deadman) has a new and very important mission for Deadman. One that requires him to to go the African nation of Wakanda, and seek of the King of the Dead himself, the Black Panther.


Likewise, Bast has appears to T'Challa and informs of a dark and foreboding disturbance in the land of the dead. T'Challa's felt it too now for some time, as its haunted him in his dreams. A dark and sinister figure that seeks to return from his forced exile into the void.

Bast informs T'Challa in expect an a visitor from another world, an ally who is a ghost. But not just any ghost. A ghost that is the chosen emissary and champion of a fellow god involved in this new undertaking. A Deadman.

And somewhere, out in the void, eagerly clawing and scratching to reach the land of the living, a long dark figure makes a promise. A promise to return and get revenge on all of those who sent him to that living and unending hell of a purgatory.






































"Finally I am free! After so long I was neither asleep nor awake; denied the quiet darkness that was my birthright. But I have returned and now, I bring the living world a gift. A gift that ensure that ensure my return to eternal darkness...for both of us. A gift of eternal sleep and endless night. 

And then he eerily laughs.

"HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!"

Yes folks, Nekron's back. And although he maybe severely weakened, he's no less dangerous.
So yeah, looks like the Black Panther and Deadman have a hell of a long fight on their hands.

Well that's me for this week. As always feel free to let me know what you think about this and any other of my posts from this week.

Have a good one.....

"Love Stinks!"

Happy Monday folks!

I'm actually pretty excited to showcase today's brand new skit(not that I'm not usually excited to present these things)

Once again Nekron's featured in a skit, so I think I've gotten more use out of that guy than Johns ever did with Blackest Night. We shall see:)

Enjoy!

*Cue "Dream Weaver" by Gary Wright

Ha ha! I love it.

And yes, that is an actual Thanos figure there. I got the Marvel Select Thanos figure earlier this month, and when thinking of what to do with him and his obsession story-wise, came up with this little chestnut.

 Speaking of death, but on a much somber note, I just wanted to convey my feelings of extreme sadness and   condolences to the families of those poor children and teachers that were senselessly killed last week in CT. Words can't express how awful this whole tragedy is, and what a rotten piece of shit that 20 year-old psychopath was for doing what he did to those innocent children and teachers.

It's times like these where we're reminded just how dangerous and painfully unpredictable this world can be sometimes. And that's where a calm head and rationality come into play, rather than hot-headed actions and panicked  knee-jerk reactions, like deciding to simply ban all guns or stuff like that. It's important to keep things and situation like these in perspective rather than going off half-cocked. I know it's hard considering the latest victims, trust me on that. But we have to, or else risk further complicating and making things worse than they already are.
Again, my prayers and condolences go out to those parents, friends, and family members deeply affected by this latest tragedy.

Back to a more positive topic right quick, I bought the "War of the Green Lanterns" DCUC 2-pack w/ Sinestro Corps Hal and Blue Lantern Kyle that was only released selectively in North America. And I do mean selectively, since very few stores like Toys R' Us got them, with the majority going to Canada for some strange and fucked up reason.

Anyhoo, my local comic store just happened to get one set in, so I was all over that like flies on shit, and now I finally have a DCUC Kyle figure. Sure I'd have loved to have the regular GL version, but hey, beggars can't be choosers; but they can be homeless apparently;)

"When Nekron Sings...."

Happy Hump-Day people!

Yes, you read the title of this new post right; Nekron does indeed sing. Well not really, but you get the idea.
Hey, if he actually sung, your ears and eyes would bleed, and your brain would melt. So your welcome:)

Extra:

Want to see what Emo Hal was talking about? Sure you do:)

Ha, ha. Have a good one......

Tales from the top shelf: Nekron's Blues

Hey people.
Today I figured I'd try something different, as I begin a series of short skits under the "Tales from the top shelf" banner. Enjoy.

Nekron: "Wait, what's is this infernal place I've been taken to?"

                           Ultra-Humanite: "Ah, greetings Nekron old chap. You're right where you belong,                  here in the land of uncompleted C&C's."


                           Nekron: "What!?"

Nekron: "No, that can't be, Nooo! I was the star of Blackest Night! Surely that must count for something?"

Ultra-Humanite: "Sorry chum. But your new home is here. You'll get used to it once you've accepted the fact that you're not completed, and might not ever be."

Nekron: "Nooooooo!"

Ultra-Humanite: "Oh come now. It isn't all that bad here. Triton performs delightful magic tricks and karoke on Fridays.

Trigon: "Pick a card, any card? Is this yours?"

Ultra-Humanite: "Whilst I re-enact scenes from Shakespeare on PBS Sundays. You'll learn to love this place as we all have."

Nekron: "I can't believe I've been relegated to this...this..."

OMAC: "Hell-hole? And might I say, just from looking at you all this time....Damn!"

Nekron: "Yes hell-hole. Thank you. Wait, what did you just say?"

Nekron: "Oh me! If I wasn't already dead, I'd kill myself! I wonder if anyone here happens to have Dr. Kevorkian's phone number?"

Trigon: "What's his problem? At least he has one of his natural legs."

Ultra-Humanite: "Perhaps our poor,dear fellow here is on a hunger strike. 'Twould explain the starving artist look he's chosen to adapt."

And just to show you how many spare/uncompleted C&C/BAF parts I have from collecting figures over the years.......

Quite a mess huh? And no, I'm not sure if they'll ever be completed. But I won't say no to donations:)

Oh, and Alan Scott, the Golden Age Green Lantern, might be gay. I guess that explains his son Obsidian. Well maybe not, but still.......
