Monster Vs. Monster, Final Round!

Ah, Solomon Grundy. You never let me down, my pasty-faced fiend. When you're talking comic monsters, you really can't avoid ol' Cyrus, can you? He's like Frankenstein, the Zombie, Wolfman and Dracula rolled into one. And, as a lead up to this whole Blackest Night deal-a-ma-bobber, he got his own series, which of course lead to him going toe-to-toe with some other notable DC monsters, including Bizarro:


Which ended surprisingly well. Who knew that two malevolent mutant man-children would get along so well, right? Right. Then, of course, there was a set-to with Amazo (a personal favorite of mine):


Which again, ended with Grundy coming out on top. And this lead to Grundy going up against the A-numba-one-stunna, the King of the Ring, the prototype...FRANKENSTEIN:


It did not end well. But really, what do you expect, putting the copy up against the original? It didn't work for Mechagodzilla, it ain't gonna work for Solomon Grundy. Poor Solomon Grundy, died on Saturday, buried on Sunday:

Came back as a Black Lantern on Monday. Oh god damn it, Frankenstein! Thanks a lot. Jerk.
