The JLA vs The X-Men: Who’d Win?

Like a billion Marvel Universe and DC Comics Universe fans, I’ve been consumed day and night with one thought. Which comic book superhero team would win in a giant-size battle between the Uncanny X-Men and the Justice League of America? On one hand, the JLA has the mega super powers of Superman, Green Lantern, and Wonder Woman, the intimidation power of the Dark Knight Batman, but of course the X-Men have the adamantium healing superpowers of the raging Wolverine, not to mention Rogue, Gambit, Psylocke, and the armored head bust-in super strength of Colossus. With some of the new crossover ideas I’m seeing (like the Marvel Spider-man and Invincible Iron Man crossover toys with Transformers, etc), I would LOVE to somehow, someday see a JLA vs the X-Men major motion picture live action movie.

In honor of the Justice League adventures and the many mutants in the X-Team, here’s some rare vintage comic posters. Just click on the photos for a larger picture, for details on the history of the poster, and to check current availability. The posters are a 1984 Jack Kirby JLA Superpowers poster, based on the 1980′s action figure toys by the Kenner toy company. THIS poster was given only to comic shop dealers, and what’s even more rare is that THIS particular promo poster was NEVER ROLLED, like nearly all promotional posters are. This is great news! The other poster shown is a huge 60 by 30 inch Uncanny X-Men door poster from ’95 by artist Claudio Castellini. It’s much more detailed once you click on the image to show the larger size.

The Captain America movie, Thor movie, the Green Lantern movie, and Avengers movie!

Time for a really quick blog. By now, most of you diehard comic book superhero fans and live action movie buffs know there are some more upcoming DC Comics and Marvel movies.

I am so looking forward to the Chris Evans Capt America, Chris Hemsworth Thor, the Ryan Reynolds Green Lantern movie, and somewhere down the line, the Avengers movie. They should rock, and the night they debut in theatres, I’m there. If they’re even 1/2 as great as the Robert Downey Jr Iron Man movie and the Christian Bale Batman the Dark Knight movies, they’ll be incredible. Looking forward to Spider-man 4 also, but I mostly want to see a Wonder Woman movie! And don’t let the movie studios or anyone connected to them design Diana Prince’s amazon costume. Stick to the classic and best one. Don’t redesign the wheel, comic editorial teams and movie designers. Don’t change what the fans love. It could make the difference between a mega-hit and being relegated to “straight to video” hell.

Since the Mighty Avengers have been around since 1963, I’m going to commemorate the Avengers by showing our loyal Supervator Super-Blog readers some very cool VINTAGE Captain America, Mighty Thor, and Avengers posters! Just click on the images below to see a larger view of the posters, and to check current availability. Some have artwork by Jack Kirby, Jim Steranko, Jim Lee, Todd McFarlane, Ron Frenz, Alex Ross, Mike Zeck, Golden Age artist Alex Schomburg, and Silver Age legend John Romita Sr.

Your favorite Jim Lee work? X-Men? Batman? Superman? Wonder Woman?

Hi people! It’s been a while since I’ve had time to do a blog, but here I am. Hope all the readers of the Supervator.com blog are doing well. This blog’s subject is phenominally popular artist JIM LEE. What’s your favorite character that Jim Lee has drawn? Is it Batman, Nightwing, Superman, Wonder Woman, the X-Men? Somebody else? For me, it’s his X-Men work, such as the work he did on X-Men issue 1 back in the 1990′s. By the way, the poster shown is the huge X-Men door poster published by Marvel Press Posters back in 1992. This giant size poster is about 59 by 30 inches, and shows Marvel Universe mutants like Wolverine, Gambit, Rogue, Storm, Colossus, the Beast, Professor X, Psylocke, and more. Just click on the photo to see if we still have it available for sale.

Meantime, I really love Jim Lee’s artwork, and I’ve notice more than a few toys and other superhero merchandise bearing his artwork nowdays, for example, in a lot of Batman products. The man is an icon, and our cowls are off to him!

Well, that’s all time allows for this blog. Thanks for reading, and feel free to check out all the posters and artwork currently available on SUPERVATOR.COM. Tell your friends!

Who better than da X-MEN?

Hello Marvel Comics super heroes, and welcome to the latest blog on the subject of vintage comic posters and original comic book art! What you see here is an often tough to find gem: It’s an original 1994 UNCANNY X-MEN 34 by 22 inch retail poster, showing the EXACT SAME IMAGE used for the Fleer Ultra trading card set team “portrait”. And, from what I understand, it was very difficult to acquire all the Fleer trading cards needed to make up this image. This ’94 poster features painted artwork by brothers Tim and Greg Hildebrandt, and it’s Marvel Press poster number 174. SHOWN ARE mutant heroes like Wolverine, Sabertooth, Bishop, Professor X, the Beast, Rogue, GAMBIT, Archangel (the Angel), Jean Grey (Marvel Girl), Storm, Psylocke, Iceman, and Cyclops. The painted art is much more incredible in person on this astonishing X-Men poster, and it’s currenly available (as of this writing) in our Supervator eBay Store. You can check it out just by clicking on the picture’s link!

Seeing this poster in our warehouse today reminded me of something. Now with the success of the “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” movie with Hugh Jackman, it’d be great to at long last see all the major X-Men franchise characters appear in one movie, like Wolvie, Jean Grey, Deadpool, Gambit, Rogue, Sabretooth, Bishop, you know what I mean. The big guns. Speaking of that, Cable would also be cool to see larger than life on the silver screen too.

The distinct lack of DEADPOOL posters (so far)

With lethal mercenary Deadpool (Wade Wilson) being such a hit with longtime Marvel Comics fans and now with movie audiences (from the Hugh Jackman film “X-Men Origins: Wolverine), I have come to a distressing conclusion: There is a definite, distinct LACK of posters featuring Deadpool, the “Merc with a mouth”.

Now that it appears that actor Ryan Reynolds may be playing Deadpool in a Marvel spin-off movie, I’ve come to realize how very few posters (full size posters and comic shop dealer promo posters) of Deadpool have been produced since Deadpool’s first appearance.  As most of his die-hard fans know, Deadpool was created by artist Rob Liefeld back in 1991 in the New Mutants issue 98 comic book, to square off against Cable and his mutant teammates. And of course, there will forever be comparisons drawn between Rob Leifeld’s Deadpool character and DC Comics anti-hero Deathstroke the Terminator, who was a longtime adversary/ally of Nightwing and gang in the Teen Titans and New Titans comics.

Back to the distinct lack of Deadpool posters. Yes, there are now the Wolverine movie promo posters I’m sure, and there’s the recent 2008 or 2009 promotional poster of Deadpool holding a bullet ridden teddy bear at a circus or carnival. There’s been a full size Marvel Press poster by artist Joe Madureira back in 1993 (see pics). There was a 1998 promo poster of Deadpool in a team-up with Captain America, and a ’93 Wizard Magazine promo poster showing Deadpool with other Uncanny X-Men super-villains like Sabertooth, Apocalypse, and Omega Red. But to my knowledge, that’s about it. Hope that changes, because Dead Pool is a helluva great character in the Marvel Universe, with a (possibly) great movie future a head of him and tons of potential in his home genre of comic books.
