Death Week - The Death of Captain Marvel
Jun. 12th, 2010 10:48 pmsherkahnMarvel's very first graphic novel was also one of it's most fascinating and mature in terms of the handling of the important topic of the death of a hero. Up until this point we've seen heroes check out and get taken down facing "big bads" and saving others. The great ultimate sacrifice for the great reward that lies beyond this life. Glorious deaths worthy of champions.
Here, one of the mightiest and stalwart defenders falls to a common man's death. Despite many attempts at a ret-con resurrection, the significance and value of this death within Marvel 616 lore and continuity shows just how important this moment in time was. A death that made this hero as frail and as mortal as any of us, yet because of that fragility he rose to great heights all the more.
The year: 1982.
The company: Marvel Comics.
These are the final moments of Captain Mar-Vell of the Kree.
*Note: Not my scans.
( No more illusions. )

Into Battle Ass First
Mar. 9th, 2010 10:59 pmneuhallidaeMy last post for the theme had a Songbird panel from Avengers Forever. Which made me remember all the other nice ass shots in Avengers Forever. Of course, none are really gratuitous, but being Pacheco work, they're still very nice, even if the coloring drives me up the damn wall.

Hydra command hacks their webcam and hits them with a matter translation beam and now Cap and Jones must battle their way through a "Web of Deceit" Enjoy!
