Friday brings with it so many good things, principally the weekend, but also, of course, flashbacks! You’re reading the write-up to this week’s flashback right now in fact. Awesome, right?

It’s an Avengers flashback this week. As always, click on any picture you wish to enlarge. Come on. CLICK IT.

Todrick is back as Loki. This time around he’s wearing the costume from Thor 2: The Dark World, so I guess it isn’t so much an Avengers flashback as it is a Marvel movie universe flashback. Well, it’s a character who was in Avengers so I still say it works.

Loki

Here’s the comparison to the original mash-up. No more crazy helmet.

That’s all for this week. Next week, we learn who the dish ran away with. Also, which flashback Zoë has left.

Hello friend, have you heard? It’s Wednesday. Isn’t that Mash-up Day? It sure is! Sweet! Let’s check it out!

League of Legends continues this week as it will for several more weeks to come. As always you can click on the picture to enlarge it. Come on, you know you want to.

Sass is Ahri. It was the ears what made the choice seem to fit. So many tails.

Sass---Ahri

That’s all for this week. Nektara is up next time. Care to guess which League of Legends character she’ll show up as? Post your guesses in the comments! See you next Wednesday for the reveal!

Greetings flashback fans! Welcome to another edition of Flashback Friday! Let’s dive right in!

S is for the wisdom of Solomon
H is for the strength of Hercules
A is for the stamina of Atlas
Z is for the power of Zeus
A is for the courage of Achilles
M is for the speed of Mercury

When young Billy Batson says the magic word, he’s granted these powers and transforms from a 12-year-old boy into Captain Marvel (who for legal reasons is now often just called Shazam). Now Big Oonch does too! Here he is wearing the New 52 version of the costume which I chose mostly because of the hood.

Shazam

I saved a version without the lightning bolt hitting.

And here’s the comparison to the original mash-up. As you can see, the hood makes a big difference.

DC-Oonch-TaN

That’s all for this week folks. Todrick is back next week and he’s in the mood for mischief! See you next Friday for the reveal!

Hello and welcome to the Wednesday Mash-up. You will know it is time to turn the page when you hear R2-D2 beep like this. *beep* Let’s begin now!

The League of Legends theme continues this week. As always click on the picture to enlarge it.

For Barnaby I wanted someone who looked big and strong. That’s why I went with Tryndamere. The problem of course is that Tryndamere is so massive and Barnaby, while tall, is still pretty narrow at the shoulders. It turned out alright.

Barnaby---Tryndamere

That’s all for this week! Next Wednesday will be Sass’s turn.

Happy Friday everybody! Time for another flashback! Enjoy!

“Truck full of good eats huh?”
“What’s it to you, Jack?”
“I’m hungry, I’m a gourmet chef and the name’s not Jack, it’s ROADBLOCK! I’m with G.I.JOE!”

This is a scene from G.I.JOE: The Revenge of Cobra mini-series. I couldn’t help quoting the last line repeatedly as I was drawing today’s flashback. Remember to click on pictures to enlarge them.

So yeah, Barnaby is here as Roadblock, a fun character who went on to be played by The Rock in the second live-action Joe movie. I’m more partial to the original animated series myself and of course, all the flashbacks are based on the original card art. On a side note, Barnaby always gets the huge honkin’ guns.

Roadblock

Here’s his action figure card.

And here’s the comparison to the original mash-up. But wait, those aren’t the same characters! That’s right. The first time around, Barnaby was Bazooka, a character I chose because he’s not the brightest bulb on the Joe Christmas tree. The pose from Bazooka’s card art was frustrating me and to be honest, Bazooka is one of my least favorite Joes, so I just decided to switch characters. Sorry Bazooka fans.

That’s all for this week. Have a good weekend everybody!
