This is the larger piece I purchased from Evan Shaner at the same time as the Tintin sketch cards. Big fan of his portrayal of Cap and Billy. I always love it when a creator’s affection for a character really shines through in a piece.
There seem to be a lot of folks posting my originals today, meaning, there’s been more than one. This is a favorite of mine because, beside the fact that it’s Cap, it’s the first time that Billy really “clicked” for me in how I draw him.
batbrobeyond asked: As my go-to authority on all things Shazam, I wanted to hear your take on this recent name-change announcement regarding the Captain.
I think the reasons Johns gave in the announcement are a little silly, but I understand why they’re doing it. I’m not crazy about it, but I get it, and frankly I’m surprised they hadn’t already tried it. “Captain Marvel” has enjoyed a little popularity in other media recently so I think it’s the strangest time to decide to change the name. It raises a lot of other questions (What’s the Wizard’s name now? Will “Shazam!” still be the magic word? Will there still be a magic word? What would Mary and Freddy be called?) but what I think a lot of folks seem to be forgetting is that none of those things are safe. It’s a relaunch, for all purposes this is a new character.
I think that’s my bottom line, this is a different character. I’ll certainly keep an open mind until I read it, but I don’t feel like I have to like the character, because I’ve still got plenty of stories with the character I enjoy. I guess that’s my take on the whole relaunch; because they’re not messing with the Superman (for example) I enjoyed as a kid -this Superman is a new character as far as I’m concerned- I don’t feel like I owe him anything. It’s really pretty freeing.
I didn’t realize it was Hourly Comics Day until about 10 minutes ago. The wife, baby, and myself are all sick though, so this is all that’s happening today anyway. Rinse and repeat every hour.
