I watched the Avengers movie a couple of times the last week, and while it was a lot of fun, I thought the new Captain America suit didn’t work too well. The headpiece was particularly odd and uncomfortable looking. I ended up drawing Chance’s Roid Rage cowl with the same awkward thickness. At least Captain America’s new outfit didn’t have nipples….
One of the things I have the most fun with is the character interaction between the Henchmen. The last two panels were fun to draw and I actually hadn’t planned on the laughing when I originally plotted this part of the story, but when I got here it made perfect sense. The characters occasionally seem to go in directions that surprise me. The next couple of pages were surprising as well, but you’ll see them next week.
I’ve been noticing that while the getaway vehicle is supposed to be a loosely drawn Ford Mustang, it also seems to have taken on some characteristics of the old cartoon Speed Racer car, the Mach 5. That was another one of those TV programs that I watched when I was a kid – it came on after I came home from school and I could usually watch an episode before I had to start my homework. Go Speed Racer Go!
