Thanks, guys! As usual, whenever I see something in a different format, I see things that need to be tweaked. So I tweaked.
Thanks, guys. Credit must be given to Patrick Ditton for suggesting a color overlay on top of the filter I had already put on the screen. It really made the difference and looked much better with it.
I also think John underestimates his abilities to properly depict Thor. I always thought John's art on Thor in Marvel Team-Up and Avengers was powerful and graceful and I could see an Adams influence (as opposed to Kirby) in his Thor, especially in the arms, face and hair. And that would be NEAL Adams.
There are characters that John has more of a feel for than others, of course (Dr. Doom comes to mind) and Cap is one of them. Not my favorite costume but a great Cap none the less. Captain America in John's hands as both writer and artist would be depicted as he should be, something some writers seem to have a difficult time with.
Only Stan Lee wrote a better Dr. Doom than John Byrne. John always knew exactly who Doom was and is and, as this piece shows, John has the advantage in being able to convey Doom's personality in art as well. Great piece from a master of the character in all his aspects.
Never been a big fan of the Ghost Rider in comics but he should be considered one of the top characters in terms of visual impact. How could he not be? And John has clearly outdone himself here. The angle and the large white space areas, the great depiction of the skull, the heat without the usual "tongues-of-flame" everywhere and the in-your-face aspect are awsome. Very visually striking. Love to see Ian color this. Wouldn't even want to try it myself.
Love high contrast black & white and this is one of the best I've seen. It's important for what he's left out as well as what he's delineated.
Always loved Marshall's work on Batman. There's something about the old-school linework that really appeals to me.
