"Martian Manhunter and/or Miss Martian meet The Ice Warriors

Obviously I added a few other Martian realities - the Tripods, John Carter and Deja Thoris, and even the Pyramids of Mars in the background.

And one of the greatest Doctors - Jon Pertwee with his most famous phrase."

The Amazo Virus infects the last Leaguer standing: Batman!
I'd have to be a humorless stick in the mud to point out that J'onn J'onzz is the only hero obscured by the Flash on the variant cover. Who else though, y'know?

JUSTICE LEAGUE UNITED VOL. 1: JUSTICE LEAGUE CANADA HC
Written by JEFF LEMIRE
Art by MIKE McKONE and JED DOUGHTERTY
Cover by MIKE McKONE
On sale MARCH 4 • 192 pg, FC, $24.99 US

In the aftermath of FOREVER EVIL, Adam Strange is caught up in an adventure across the far reaches of the cosmos that will unite an unexpected team of heroes including Supergirl, Hawkman, Green Arrow, Stargirl, Martian Manhunter and Animal Man – but if they’re on the team, who exactly is Canadian? And don’t miss the debut of the young Canadian hero known as Miiyahbin! It’s all here in stories from JLU #0-4, JUSTICE LEAGUE: FUTURES END #1 and JUSTICE LEAGUE UNITED: FUTURES END #1!
I bought and read the two Futures End issues, working under the assumption they wouldn't be collected in a normal fashion like this. Egg on my face. On the other hand, I bought the books based on fraudulent solicitation copy, so it wasn't entirely my fault I got stuck with these duds, unless you want to point out that I should have known better by now. Anyway, they weren't very good, and I'm now disinclined toward buying this trade, so maybe I'll save money in the long run.

I've had the one issue of this series J'Onn and the JLA appeared in unread and unbagged in a box for over a decade. Read the first few issues. They were a'ight, but $75?

I didn't bother listing the individual issues, but I'm sure J'Onn J'Onzz is in there somewhere, right? Right? Actually, he wasn't listed on any of the breakdowns at Comic Vine, so maybe not...

2009 “J.L.A. by Gaslight” fan art by Paul Keane

Click To Enlarge


"This was just a piece I worked on which came about after I saw a toy series based on the Justice League if theyed existed in the Victorian era of the "Gotham by Gaslight" story drawn by Mike Mignola. I loved researching all the clothing and costume from that period and would really like to work on some larger project sometime."
In a switcheroo from our norm, there's a colored version with digital background, but I prefer the original art.

The Horn Firing Creature of Gilgana vs. Ignition


Horn Firing Creature
Debut: 1964
Nemesis: Martian Manhunter
Other Major Foes: None.
Appearances: One comic story
Powers: See name.

Bio:
Big beast on a weird world that was territorial and stuff.

Vile Menagerie Stats
Win: The Cobra-Beast (3-1)
Lose: The Orchestra of Doom (2-3)
Draw: 0

Vs.

Ignition
Debut: 2000
Nemesis: Superman
Other Major Foes: Superman Family
Appearances: 15 comics.
Powers: Flight, invulnerability, and blast power.

Bio: Armored villain who debuted as part of The Joker League of Anarchy.

Vile Menagerie Stats:
Win: 0
Lose: 0
Draw: 0


Idol Speculation:
So here's the thing about the Horn Firing Creature-- it's weak. It can't aim well enough to hit a chubby middle aged man rolling around on the ground without cover about a hundred feet out. It looks really big, but the perspective in the story it appeared in was screwy, and with a little investigating it appears to be maybe elephantine. Then the kicker-- its horns shatter harmlessly on the Martian Manhunter's chest. Now, the Alien Atlas is nobody to sneeze at, obviously, but the fact remains that the creature couldn't possibly injure the super-hero it was supposed to fight. Nothing on Gilgana was very effective at hurting Regular Joes, so even if Nightwing got sucked into a hole in the sky, he could toss some pink sand around and get loose inside a single issue. I was considering low level guys like Mawzir and Killshot, but that was going mighty obscure, and it seemed better to use this match as a teaching opportunity.

Scorch was created for the "Emperor Joker" crossover, then turned up in an issue of Action Comics guest-starring Martian Manhunter, before being given to that hero as a girlfriend in "Trial By Fire." Ignition was also created for "Emperor Joker," had a secret history hinted at, but only turned up for a bit working with a now abandoned version of Zod before joining him in oblivion. Maybe Scorch could re-team with Ignition, and they could both serve in the Vile Menagerie? Ignition is kind of nifty looking, and he might as well get some use.

2006 Martian Manhunter and Huntress fan art by Graham Higson

Click To Enlarge


"I think this would be an interesting team-up anyway. It didn't originally start out that way, I was just drawing sketches. I then decided to ink over them and I'm fairly pleased with how they turned out. I particularly like the Huntress one as I always have trouble making women look like women. Even now she only looks about 15. Oh well...

I decided to use it as my first experiment into colouring pictures on the computer. It took me probably about 2 hours in total to do. The background was knocked off within 5 minutes and I know it's rubbish so don't bother commenting on that. Criticism about the actual characters welcome though."
