I don't think it hurt at all that I had the ESSENTIALS edition of the issue, with beautiful black and white art by John Buscema and Tom Palmer, open on my board while I drew this piece.

Some small portion of that magic seems to have crept in by osmosis.

Maybe not the BEST, but SO much better now than at any time I have worked on the title.

I wonder where I can rent a time machine. . . ?

Yeah, there's no need for color on this one- the light and dark areas are used masterfully here!  Looks like Iron Man is about to get a game-winning shot on Ares though :-)

Nice to see these characters in good hands. One thing that stands out to me is the poses of everyone.

Oh wow!!!I didn't know we could get a JB commission inked by Tom Palmer...Oh wait.

I love the Zodiac and I have toyed with the idea of having them in a commission.

Great job JB. As stated above, the shadow work on and around Cap
really catch the eye. I wish I had that time machine for you to rent.

Maybe not the BEST...

****

But in my book you're definitely the SECOND best at Captain America.

Nice!

While not THE AVENGERS, or any other team I have worked on before, the superhero title I am cooking up for IDW will be very much a return to these fields which have, in times of yore, proven so fertile for me.

Still at least a year away, tho!

Okay, now I am sad again.  I thought the superhero title was coming out after AFTERMATH.

I think you are working a lot of your own magic in there too JB! Great work!

Wait! You're right! Chris Ryall asked me to shuffle the lineup, so it's now AFTERMATH, then ****, and THEN the next COLD WAR arc.

I've been directing my thoughts this week toward the color covers for the next CW, and that threw me off track for a moment.

A year! Oh man. I'm sure it will be worth the wait. At least we have COLD WAR and AFTERMATH to tide us over.

I agree with the others your Avengers commissions are great.
