Avengers #53 COVER by Javier Garrón (ft Black Panther, Namor)

Imperius rex...what a battle cover!

He said he came from Wakanda
He owned the Marvel Panthers
Lovable T'Challa 'cause he never fought this Namor
Gave him a punch, fucking with him in water
But he was gettin' money with the covers of Avengers
He was mixed in a couple inks
Brawl what that trouble brings
Bricks to the royals
And fans to sink sink
Left arm, Subby water tatted
5-year bid up north when Jane had it
Anyway, I felt him, welt him
Put him on lock, beat-belt him
Took him out to 'brainium, welcome
Bitches this petty, that's seldom
He box better than the box he was hell in
I'm I'm fifty three in that order
I call him Javi like warriors
He like it when I get punched
But I like it when he beat Namor
That's top of T'Challa
It's never luck with beginners
I let him play with Valkyrie then tick him off of hot tempers
I'm in the zone

The cover's at me but it's you
You, this ain't my Doom
Me, and my crew
We can slide through
Give it to Doom whenever Garrón 
Put it in cover Garrón
KG, it's yours
Anywhere, Javier
KG, it's your world, ain't it? (Alright)
KG, it's your world, ain't it? (Uh)

I felt it was me saying "Alright" and "Uh" at the end there!

Thanks, MW, and all, for the comments!

Congrats on this good looking vs cover!

Quite the intense and busy cover. I like Garron's work as well.

The first thing that struck me with this cover was that Javier did a great job with the characters mouths. I've noticed a lot of times artists struggle when they draw open mouths, but this one's great! Awesome layout and drama too, this one makes you want to read the book. Congrats!

When Monarchs collide! It's fitting that a Celestial be the judge. Killer!

Great energetic style! Congrats!!

Great Garron cover, congrats! I love Jane Foster in the middle of these 2 trying to play things smarter not harder but they look inevitably like they are about to collide in "vs" format. 

Namor can get it. 

Wow what a stunning cover!!!  Congrats, K!

It's about to go down, great cover. Congrats.

Sweet!

Please, let Black Panther be the one to end Reed's torment.

Lol, "T'Challa can you just please eliminate this dude?  PLEASE.  Not that you need it, but let me know if I can help at all, man.  Even just to bounce ideas, big brain to big brain."  :)

Thanks, CS!

I too like the heavy inks on BP when compared to Namor.  Just an awesome battle cover!!!

Great energy and angle! The frozen Celestial Avengers Tower in the brackground is a great addition.

My favourite part of this piece is the camera angle. The dynamic point of view adds so much power to the piece. Jane Foster is a real cutie, too. But how the hell is the Black Panther going to be any sort of match against Namor in hand to hand combat? Woulldn't that be the equivalent to a match up between the heavyweight champ of the world agains any random two year old child? Did BP gain super powers I've not been made aware of? I'm so out of the loop on contemporary stories, how is that Celestial looking character supposed to be Doctor Doom? Aaaagh! A nice, action packed illustration with too many questions for me. Congrats, Kahlil, it looks great with the rest of your BP collection. Oh, and I'm happy you enjoyed the Fantastic Four movie!

Such a very nice cover!!! I fully agree you on the interaction BP Vs The Prince of Atlantis!!! Nobility Rules!! Huge congrats!

Killer piece

Great cover featuring these two powerhouses!

Ah yes, two classic foes, and by classic I mean they're "longtime foes' as of about 10 years ago haha! Anyway, great piece! 

Dig the pronounced Panther! Right up your alley!

KG & BP - like PB & J - they just go together. You are THE BP collector and I love seeing you add more art to your collection that features BP. Congrats!

Thanks, man, I do enjoy some T'Challa art!  We like our characters don't we?!  ;)  

Yessir! Character focused collections are the best!

All I can say is WOW.  Congrats.

Garrón packs so much detail into the composition and it works. The end result is an up close and in your face showdown in the foreground. You know I have my money on BP & KG leaving Namor in their wake! Great cover!

I like to think that Namor is mad because BP rightfully questioned Subby's fashion sense.  Who'd have thought that Namor could come up with an outfit that makes me nostalgic for the simple green swim trunks.

Killer Avengers cover by Javier Garron! Love this clash between Namor and T'Challa! It's always a treat to see two of Marvel's most powerful heroes face off with one another...even if it usually turns out to be a misunderstanding and they eventually reconcile afterwards. Still, a  Sub-Mariner vs Black Panther battle is something to enjoy while it lasts. Gorgeous art by Javier! As you pointed out, it's neat the way he drew T'Challa with a blocky style and lots of black, while Namor is drawn with thinner lines and a lighter look. Fabulous pick-up. congrats!
