Celebrating my 100th Deviation! It's been a crazy month and a half so far, what with my "Favorite Characters" sketchseries and the Daily Deviation, buying a new couch, new car, and sadly... a death in the family. Thanks to all of those for their kind words on encouragement lately-- you guys and gals rock.
Captain America-- the greatest soldier that ever lived. Cap, trained to master every form of martial arts and fighting style on the planet. A master of combat and war strategy. Unstoppable, even in the midst of gods and the impossible. Leader of the Avengers, even though he has no powers of his own.
Captain America freakin' rules.
It's no wonder he's in my top 3 favorite characters ever. Over the years his book has seen a LOT of great creative runs-- Simon/Kirby, Lee/Kirby, Stern/Byrne, DeMatteis/Zeck, Waid/Garney, Brubaker/Epting... great stories, epic adventure. If superheroes were real, Cap is the one above all others I'd want to be around in a disaster.
However, a lot of people see him as campy, old-timey, and guy that loves to make huge, long, boring speeches. THOSE PEOPLE ARE WRONG. Captain America is more about symbolizing the best of what makes America itself great... specifically, the ability to rise up from nothing and still succeed. NOTHING stops Cap.
I added in Falcon here because he's easily the best partner Cap has ever had, and is pretty cool in his own right, even garnering his name on Cap's book, a miniseries, a place in the Avengers (at first just because he is Black, later on earning it), and a new series started up just so they could team up AGAIN fairly recently.
So here we are-- I'm drawing some heavyweights in my "favorite characters" this week, and this is probably the biggest on the list (this week at least).
Captain America's book is better than ever right now, by the way-- Brubaker and Epting (and occasional fill-in artists) have been doing the quintessential Cap book, and it's been an amazing ride. Pick it up, I think you'll like it a LOT. Quite possibly the best mainstream superhero comicbook of late.
