Iron Hammer, huh? Can't say I'm impressed by the design, doesn't go far enough. Those squiggly lines on the suit's torso are vaguely nordic but don't really mean anything. Even replacing those squiggles with some proper celtic runes would improve the design immeasurably. Beyond that the rest just looks like a standard Iron Man suit, only this time while holding Mjolnir. Basically, disappointing all round. Iron Hammer should look like a Space Wolf from Warhammer 40,000 or something as equally 'future viking' in style.
I like the the "Amalgam" idea, but I'm really not feeling it. The designs seem too tame. This is the kind of thing where you go crazy. I think The Soldier Supreme is the one most out there, IMHO. Iron Hammer, Ghost Panther, and the rest just make me yawn. Maybe this is something that has been overdone (I did read the original Amalgam universe). I do hope more original designs come around.
Peace
BTW: If the take this oportunity to reprint the original Amalgam tales, I'm sue gonna buy the TPBs.
I keep thinking of Dark Claw and the Superman/Captain America combo Super-Soldier (the name wasn't very inventive) http://www.writeups.org/super-soldie...malgam-comics/
My inner 12 year old is excited!

I loved amalgam. I'm less thrilled with this though.
I think the best amalgam comics were about world building. Trying to cram 60 years of continuity in 24 pages.
I did spent a few hours at work trying to imagine how soldier supreme's continuity would work. I don't have any names for any of these..... But, I reckon
Peggy carter/Clea
Red skull/nightmare
Baron zemo/dommamu
Dr faust/mephesto
Dr erskine/ancient one
Baron von stucker/baron mordo
Bucky/wong
Neat idea. By that logic, I'd say Falcon/Doctor Voodoo and Viper/Umar would also be in that canon.
Iron Hammer:
Odin/Howard Stark
Jane Foster/Pepper Potts
Malekith/Mandarin
Loki/Arno Stark
Heimdall/War Machine
Destroyer/Ultron
Ghost Panther:
Robbie Reyes/Gentle
Alejandra Jones/Shuri
Vengeance/Killmonger
Weapon Hex:
Hellion/Wonder Man
Wolverine/Magneto
Daken/Quicksilver
I'm hoping Soldier Supreme incorporates Steve's love of drawing into how he uses magic. Maybe he became a magician to help out in the war effort?
Weapon Hex and Iron Hammer are the weakest designs to me.
Do we actually know if this's a story or just variant covers?
