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

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

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.

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

Does anyone here buy comics digitally? I'm looking at the DC digital site, and interestingly, they're reprinting Camelot 3000 digitally. However, they're only up to #19 of Batman & Robin, whereas paper is up to #24, at least. Which would drive me nuts.
However, the reboot should fix that.
