Love the pool of influences present here. What inspired the inclusion of comic pages?

I had seen a cover image for a new Captain America, not yet out. It said, “No one wins the Last War.” Which then kinda inspired me to dig in a bit on Captain America.

I like that. Been meaning to make a Captain America collage since finding a secret wars issue in a scrap bin

Reading Major Arcana has piqued my interest in comics too

Mixing high-brow and low with a Captain America cinquain. I wholeheartedly approve!

Josh! I never read comics but this was cool. Great drawings on these.

Hope all is well!

Yeah, I thought so! I never really read comics but I’m getting sucked in!

Oh this is epic! I appreciate the education.

Imagine what gets accomplished with this mindset.. that we're no better than the people that commit atrocity.

BEHOLD,

the nuance thy early words foretold.

Yeah, I am kinda blown away to be honest. I picked up a free trial to Marvel Universe, or whatever that online thing is, so I will probably bing them soon :)

“reach out for ideals that made this costume I wear mean something — and find America once again.” lands hard next to Hviezdoslav. I need to pick up the comics I've been neglecting.

I know! I gotta dig in.

This is awesome! They don't make them like they used to! Perhaps this is a call to return to the oldies!!!

I have a free trial to that Marvel online thing, so I am probably going to do some binging !!
