Description

This tongue in cheek digital comic plays a super-serious 300-year-old hero off of a bullied gamer high school student. They switch bodies, and chaos ensues.

Frenz and his mentor and regular drawing partner, the late, great Sal Buscema, are in top storytelling form here. They start with the closeups in panel one. Each individual has personality, and their common gaze draws you further into the page to see what they're looking at. Cue panel 2, one of the two heroes of the story, obviously in a fight but far from beaten. Panels 3 and 4 showcase great figure work and some pretty kinetic battle choreography, leading to a payoff in panel 5 with a pretty final-looking defeat for the hero's former bully. 

Not that Marvel had a monopoly on succinctly laid out fight scenes, but I do think of this as a classic Marvel-style page from two of the company's former veterans, doing their own passion project here.

The Blue Baron # 2.3, page 4 (2018).

I accidentally got into a similar fight like that in Junior High. I accidentally stepped on a kids new Jordans. Sadly it did not end well for me though lol.

Damn, that guy shouldn't have tried to bully the kid for reading 90's indie comics.

Lovely choreography - a very nice panel-by-panel summary. The opening panel, with its viewpoint just below the crowd, makes it feel as though the viewer is already right in the middle of the fight. Sal's inks are lovely on this too.
