Amalgam Universe Part 7
Last time, there was mention I'd be including the worst Amalgam issue. This is NOT that issue.
Instead, we combine the tragedy and horror of the transformation of Dr. Kirk Langstrom aka Man-Bat and the bizarre and magical ascension of the Man-Thing to get...
So the corpse of a crook named "Huggy" is attacked and mutilated by a creature that was once scientist Kirk Sallis. Detectives Bullock and Montoya (not much different from their regular appearances) are on the scene, when they're startled by an enormous shadow swooping overhead.
Bullock goes to Mrs. Sallis' home to inform her of the return of her husband. At the same time, somebody's calling in a crew against Bullock.
While they get the jump on him at the Sallis' home, he evades enough to take out some of the assailants and draw out the ringleader into the building. Bat-Thing seems to be back for more.
"Oh, gee, thanks, detective. I'm only trying to save your life and all. No, no, I've got super-healing, it's not like I can feel it or anything. Ass."
"Fat people can't lose weight! I've based all my excuses for my slovenly lifestyle around that!"
Pretty interesting overall. Nothing too over-the-top, actually a little flat in places, but pretty decent horror/noir mash-up. Now, could this really be an ongoing series? Depends on what other elements are brought in.
Next time we'll see the Amalgam U's two best hit-ladies go up against the great Question of their lives.
Find out what (and who) it is tomorrow in... ASSASSINS

Were there any prominent African-American police officers in the Marvelverse at that time that could have been... fused with Bullock?
