Random thoughts on Day Seven as we start to pile up the reruns.
Ben & Alicia - I think this is the first time we've seen them. This was a late cut from my list. The Thing was, along with Spider-Man, my favorite Marvel character for a long time. Which was a bit odd because I really didn't like the FF at the time. So I do like this beauty and the beast match a fair bit. And Alicia had a huge effect on changing Ben in to a decent character, from a pretty monstrous, almost villain before they started dating. I pretty much choose to disregard anything done with them after the very early 80s because Alicia, in particular, seemed to be very ill-used.
Kang and Ravonna - I haven't read those Kang issues in decades. I'm glad they found love though.
Deadman (Boston Brand) and Lilly Lang - I've read that book once or twice, but only vaguely remember it. Cool choice.
The Badger and Mavis Davis - The Badger was a book that I never read and it seems unlikely at this point that that will change.
Zatanna and Batman - I did not know this was a thing. I did come close to using Zatanna, but with John Constantine.
Dr. Harleen Quinzel & Pamela Ivy - After my time.
Dick Grayson and Barbara Gordon - Have we seen them before? Let me just say that I never really liked this match-up. They seemed to work better as super good friends to me.
Wally West the Flash and Linda Park - I read the Wally West Flash sporadically, but only vaguely remember them at this point. I'm happy for them though.
Lois & Clark -
Hawkeye and Mockingbird - Again, I read the first West Coast Avengers mini and maybe the first six issues...but I only have the vaguest memories of them. Apparently it didn't stick.
David and Eileen - Crimebuster brings the funk.
Lightning Lad and Saturn Girl - I'm beginning to wonder if the Legion wasn't just a dating app.
