Another non-DC request for Joe G., another character who I am mostly unfamiliar with, having only read a few issues that guest-starred bigger characters.

283 – Sleepwalker
A non-DC request from Joe Grunenwald! I’m fairly certain he doesn’t remember asking for this! I don’t know a thing about Sleepwalker, I think I read maybe three issues of his book in the early 90s, probably because Wolverine, Spider-Man, Ghost Rider or The Punisher guest-starred.
282 – Flatman
Back in the early 90s, John Byrne did a run on West Coast Avengers (Avengers West Coast?) that I absolutely loved, and part of his run was the introduction of The Great Lakes Avengers, a ridiculous team of Midwestern Superheroes who actually turned out to be pretty competent and powerful. Hawkeye and Mockingbird both left …
281 – Ultimate Nick Fury
At it’s core, I have no problems with Ultimate Nick Fury. But I do have a problem with the fact that he simply exists only to get the attention of Samuel L. Jackson. And hey, it worked! Unfortunately, this is so meta and so twisted in on itself, that there’s now no room for Ultimate …
280 – Nick Fury
Nick Fury, Old School, Original Flavor. Y’know the one with an established history and personality that makes him a rich and compelling character.

276 – Captain Marvel
The other Captain Marvel, aka Monica Rambeau, whom I know better as the team leader from NextWave, quite possibly one of the best comics Marvel has produced in 10 years. So of course it got cancelled.
275 – Vindicator
Cap’n Cananada, eh.
273 – Simon Garth, The Zombie
Two birds, one stone. I’m adding another Marvel character to the blog, and celebrating Halloween. I don’t know a ton about Simon Garth, The Zombie outside of the 4-issue Kyle Hotz book I read, which is apparently different from the 70s Black and White Magazine character. From what I can gather, he’s a voodoo based …
272 – Doc Samson
There’s been a huge lack of Marvel characters in comparison to DC characters on this blog since I started the sketch-a-day. I intend to try to fix that in this final 100 days or so. So here’s Doc Samson: Action Psychiatrist.
