So -- Jim Warden asked for a 30x40 of "The Kree/Skrull War", which sounded like fun! I pulled out the appropriate ESSENTIAL volume, and flipped thru the issues ---- and promptly discovered that all those keen scenes we remember so well were spread thru the whole epic, and hardly any of them happened in any way that could be considered "adjacent". What to do?Well, I'd been thinking a few days earlier that it had been a while since anyone asked for a montage. Was a montage the way to go? Answered that pretty fast -- no. At least, not a conventional montage composed of isolated images around some kind of central figure. But what about an "action montage"? What if I pretended that all those significant moments did happen at the same time, in the same place? Wouldn't be the first time I'd folded such scenes into a single image -- lots of covers done that way, after all. Here's the result!
The full sized scan has been sent to Christos for posting. (Thanks, CS!)

That pretty much sums it up. Spectacular job JB. I like how if you look really closely you can even see Antman crawling around inside the Vision.

The large-sized pieces are never anything short of amazing! This is just great. I'm sure if I was familiar with the Kree/Skrull storyline I would be even more impressed.

Jim will be picking it up in early August. Doubtless the "moment" will be
commemorated!

I love how much more "delicate" your line appears to be in these large commisions. You should work at that scale all the time!
Probably not practical, I know.
