I thought a Blade/Constantine amalgam sounded absolutely superb when I saw it listed there, enough so that I wished I'd thought of it myself. A chain-smoking force of nature in a trenchcoat laying waste to vampires, demons and all kinds of magical shit, with Satan on his tail laying claim to his soul? (Or, in fact, any other number of 'tweaked' versions).
I reckon if Amalgam characters are supposed to make logical sense then the whole thing is flawed. Besides which, Blade and Hellblazer (HellBlade?) is a better fit than most.
As we're talking about one-off appearances rather than characters who could hold down ongoing series, I'd actually like to see some more 'out-there' amalgams, such as - off the top of my head - Namor and Spectre as a sea ghost haunting the shipping lanes, or Black Widow and Green Arrow, a murderous seductress who kills her lovers with poison arrows... or something. Really weird shit. But then, maybe that's just me.

That Namor and Spectre as a sea ghost haunting the shipping lanes idea? I just got an image of that. Totally frickin' awesome idea, Meri.

Well I've formulated the characters I'm going to use for my Generation Hex story. All, but one of them will have been established combos. I'll rattle them off real quick.
Jono Hex (Chamber/Jono Hex)
Aurora Trigger (Aurora/Wayne Trigger/Cinnamon)
Northstar Trigger (Northstar/Walter Trigger)
Retribution (Penance/Firehair)
Skinhunter(Skin/Scalphunter)
White Whip (Emma Frost/Whip)
Black Tom Savage (Black Tom Cassidy/Vandal Savage)*
Shaggynaut (Juggernaut/Shaggy Man)*
Professor Essex Crow (Mr. Sinister/Scarecrow)**
* indicates the villians of the tale and ** indicates my orignal villian for the story

Hell Blade eh? That's cool.
I'm still not 100% sure if I'll do the Constantine/ Blade story, but if I do, it'll be next week.

I second the Black Orchid idea (note; NOT Black Orchard, *glare at Golightly*). I'm not sure about the others, but I say send them all over, Mike, and I think we can talk about which one would be most fitting for Amalgam Revisited. Alias (the Spider) sounds like it could be potentially interesting, also.

Heh. I loved Amalgam, as cheesy and forced as it was. I much prefer DC and Marvel at each other's throats, but this was fun considering it was such a dark time for comic books.
I agree with Meriades that the continuity should be adhered to, but don't let that keep you from being unique and having fun!
I've already talked to Dee briefly about this but...
Captain Marvel meets...Captain Marvel?!?!
*GASP* What a leap!
No, seriously, prepare yourselves for...
The Power of Sha-Zamm! Poor Ricky Batson had no idea what he was getting into...when he discovered that lost spaceship, and found those magical nega-bands that transported him to the realm of the alien Sha-Zamm, the greatest wizard that his world had ever known! But Sha-Zamm is being hunted by his own people, for sinister reasons. To save Sha-Zamm, and protect the people of Earth, Ricky must become Captain Marvel, the Supreme Avatar of Sha-Zamm's power!
S...for the intelligence of Supremor! H...for the courage of Hol! A...for the strength of Adam Strangelock! Z...for the power of Zeus! A...for the stamina of Andarom, the Wingknight! M...for the wisdom of Mentor! M...for the speed of Makkari!
What does Sivanan the Accuser want with Earth?
Will Ricky's step-sister Marlo Batson be caught in the crossfire...or will something just as mystical strike her as well? Can the same be said of young Teddy Freeman?
Who is the mysterious Black Photon? Why is watching Ricky's every move? Does it have anything to do with the murder of Ricky and Marlo's parents by non-powered thug Adam Genis?
Can he stave off the impending attack of Egolaris, the Tyrant Planet?
All of this leading up to the spectacular Amagalm Graphic Novel: The Trials and Death of Captain Marvel!
I love this stuff.

Actually, Amalgam already featured a Captain Marvel/Captain Marvel amalgamation. His real name was Billy Mar-Vell (ack gag), who spoke the word 'Kree!' to transform.

Yeah, I like Bryan's Captain Marvel better. But dude, you also need a Mr. Thanos, the eternal mind-worm of Titan.

I know the gig's kinda done-and-over now, but I started on a Dark Claw issue once-upon-a-time and wondered if it might find a home here if/when I finish it?

Send it on over and I'll take a look. Dark Claw was one of the most popular characters so I'm sure it will work very well. A lot of promises were initially made for this limited series that were never followed through on. so it would be nice to see even just one more issue get thrown in.
