Civil War #6 pg 11 by McNiven/Vines

Bad @$$!

Such beautiful clean linework.  Not counting the intended splatter of course.  The perfect page for a Punisher fan.  Congrats Chris!

Congrats on this beauty!

Love this page! Congrats!

Such a beautiful and impactful (Pun intended) (double pun intended) page! Congrats! I'm surprised Alberto hasn't weighed in yet with a comment about Cap > Punisher, but we know the truth!

It's somehow still Clobberin' Time!

Yeah, Cap had to set things straight with Punisher.  Even if Punisher was on his team, their philosophies were far apart.  No matter what happened to Cap, he didn't want his side to win doing it the Punisher's way.

Excellently illustrated page, pencils and inks! Classic clash between the hero and the vigilante. Kudos, Chris!

Nice 3/4 splash image of the Punisher.

Great page by Niven!   Congrats!!

This is a great page, McNiven's detailed and meticulously crafted pencils with Vines slick inks, make this page a home run. Backgrounds be damned to focus on the action at hand, and look at that gun! Stunning work. Great page. Also nice to be a part of the acquisition(enabler), a fun day of auction watching with friends. 

Yo! So memorable, man. Chris Snorek be balling!

Nice to see your collection expanding.  Next time though, try and pick something where Frank is winning please and thank you!

Frank should have went for the ear...

Remember this sequence well when first reading it, really cool to see the art of this moment. Great page and pickup, congraats!

Heavy hitting page and great art by McNiven!

It's a stunning interior and such an epic moment in the story. You can really feel the impact. Punisher taking one for the team! Huge congrats! 

Nice one- very cool.

Cap beating up a patriot! Lol. Guess he was Hydra all along. Double lol.

...forgot to add "After Miller" on the credits.

One of the best images by McNiven, a contemporary master.  Well chosen!

I can almost hear Howard Cosell... 
"Down goes Castle!  Down goes Castle!  Down goes Castle!"

Such an iconic page, and McNiven was at his best for these books. I so clearly remember reading this and was just blown away by the story, the representation of the characters and the art. This is a HUGE add to your collection - congrats on this and then some!!

Nice!  Shield beats uzi

Steve calls out Frank!  Poignant scene from a great miniseries.  Nice seeing it here in your collection, CS!

I love seeing Cap dole out some punishment here - what a well done page - just perfect! Congrats!

Always fun to see Cap givin' Frank a little tune up!

I guess that's settled...

Great page! I love McNiven on Cap and watching him kick the Punisher's ass!! Amazing pickup!!

beautiful piece buddy, damn

This is STUNNING, Chris - an unbelievable add!  I truly think that being able to display -any- page from this project would be something to crow about, but to show such a key, indelible moment from the series (and one centered around a favorite character!) is really, really special.  And the page is dripping with that McNiven flair, too, locking into not only the power (and sincerity!) of the violence on the page, but capturing the emotional timbre as well: the look of shock/horror/GENUINE anger on Cap's face in panel 1, the detail on Frank's weapons (along with Frank's body language), Frank's stubble in panel 2...  I feel like we rarely see Cap uncentered and out of control emotionally, but this is one of those times, where his heartbreak, disappointment, and outrage at Frank's choice on the previous couple pages gets the better of him and he expresses his displeasure in the only language Frank will understand...  Just fantastic, powerful storytelling.

And adding Mark Morales's brilliant inks on top of that is just cheating, right?  Panel 1's spatter of blood adds an splash of anarchic energy to the almost fine art-level of detail of McNiven's pencils (and bright white background)... and that gorgeous shield in panel 2 (on the solid black background)...  McNiven and Morales have a powerhouse right that rivals Cap's.

Titanic add, Chris - what a pick up!  HUGE congrats!

No one comments better. Wow.

Whoa - thank you, Chris - You're far too kind sir.
(and apologies - Dexter Vines did the inks, not Mark Morales!  Very sorry, Dex, but I hope the sincere appreciation of your incredible work here is clear!)
