You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Are y'all aware of the site Covered? Because this is all kinds of awesome.

This is a nice take on Kirby's use of perspective.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Because this is all kinds of awesome.

Cool!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I can't imagine why someone would cover George Perez. But I'm somewhat inarticulate on the topic. Next they'll be covering (off to google check spelling) Sienkiewicz.

Yeah, I don't get the point.

I like the ones that take the original and go somewhere with it, like Sam Jackson as Nick Fury or the fact that clearly Elektra needs two hands to hold that gun. But the ones that just redo the original with better composition, like the Fantastc Four, NSM.

I can see why most of those were rejected but I love the R Crumb one.

Well, cartoonists swipe from Kirby all the time. At least here they're acknowledging it.

Though I can see the value in the same sense that art students used to spend time at museums copying the Masters to learn their technique.
