The DC Mad LIbs Crazy But Wonderful Solicitation Game--The Home Version!

From DC's June solicits, specifically for Futures End #6:

Ray Palmer, Frankenstein and Amethyst take a dangerous journey into the Phantom Zone!

Best. Solicit. Ever.

It's not as random as it might seem at first blush--Frankenstein and Amethyst have both seen action in JL Dark, while Ray Palmer and Frankenstein were both Agents Of S.H.A.D.E., and thus they were all written by Jeff Lemire at some point. Yeah, the Phantom Zone seems kinds of random, but in a good way.

That puts me in mind of a great game we can play. Let's take the basic template:

BLANK, BLANK and BLANK take a dangerous journey to BLANK!

And let's do pre-nu52, because, well, it has a much wider (and mich more interesting) crayon box to work with.

How about "Aquaman, Arsenal and Arm-Fall-Off-Boy take a dangerous journey to Skartaris!"

See what I did there?

Or maybe "Ragman, Rag Doll and Brother Power The Geek take a dangerous journey to Nanda Parbat!"

Or to heck with subtle themes. Just get really random: "Liberty Belle, Sam Simeon and Ladytron take a dangerous journey to Rann!" Tell me you wouldn't read that!

So let your freak flags fly, dear readers--come up with your ultimate DC solicit using the template. Best suggestion wins our eternal respect...

"G'nort, Matter-Eater-Lad and Jonah Hex take a dangerous journey to Sub Diego!"

I can't stop!!!
