Also, what Amalgam would you like to see?

I liked Doctor Strangefate for some reason.Those one shots were pretty good.

From the first go-round: Super-Soldier was my fave followed VERY closely by Doctor Strangefate.

From the second go-round: Challengers of the Frantastic was my fave followed by Iron Lantern.

Amalgams I'd like to see? Howzabout the JSI: The Justice Society of Invaders. Or maybe the Suicide Thunderbolts. Or the New Teen Warriors.

Tough call, because it's been such a long time since I read them. I remember that I liked the Super-Soldier and Spider-Boy books a lot.

Bruce Wayne, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. was a favorite of mine, along with Iron Lantern.

Amalgams I'd like to see:

The Doomed Four (FF and Doom Patrol)

Man of Iron (Iron Man and Superman)

These are the ones I liked the best.

Asking me what my favorite Amalgam comic was is like asking me who was the smartest of the Three Stooges.

So...Larry?

Matt, I collected all the Amalgam stuff, but my favourites were Dr. Strangefate and Lobo the Duck.

Of those I've read...
Spider-boy Team Up

I found that the Strangefate comic was head and shoulders above the rest.

Though I always give credit to Byrne for drawing an actual shot of Baton Rouge as his establishing shot, instead of just drawing a generic city.

That would be my answer as well.

I never read any of these, but I remember that Bruce Wayne, Agent of SHIELD was a concept I really liked just from reading the name. (Were his parents killed by HYDRA in this version?) And I saw some of the Strangefate art in the JLGL appreciation thread; very nice. I may have to check a few of these out.

Yep.

Thanks A LOT, guys. All this Amagam talk has prompted me to buy the first trade. (the other three are still out of print)

Thorion, SBTU & the Fantasti-Challs.

The Dark Claw done as an Adventures style book was the only one i liked.

Super-Soldier.
