Also, of you're into comic and pulp art from the 60s-80s, I can't recommend @pulplibrarian highly enough. Yesterday he did a retrospective on a British horror comic aimed at girls from the late 70's called misty.

Why bother, it's just going to get shot full of holes or torn off anyway.

Luke looks best in the yellow t-shirt. Chains might not be the best thing to put on a black man in 2017 but a metal belt and wrist bracers can look good if drawn properly.

Jesus christ every single "what if superheros are actually in a mental asylum" story acts like nobody in the world could ever have POSSIBLY come up with such a BOLD and MIND BLOWING idea

It's up there with "they were in a coma the whole time and hallucinated their amazing adventures"

Marshall Law actually works pretty well if you know the concept. Superhumans in the comic are basically all government controlled supersoldiers created via genetic engineering. The whole superhero idea was essentially just a giant propaganda device to make genetically engineered superhuman war machines semi-palatable to the public. Problem is the engineering comes with lots of mental instability. Law hates superheros because he's never actually met one, all the superhumans are broken people, either victims or monsters. Marshal Law actually wants there to be genuine superheros, instead of broken people, psychopaths, or cynical assholes.

You'd think he'd want a sweat band at least. Punching fools has got to be sweaty work, and he doesn't have any hair to slow down his scalp sweat on its way to his eyes.

He's in shape, it takes more than punching a couple of fools to work up a decent sweat.

Continuing the trend of Spider-Gwen having the best costume. If the hood is actually a giant mouth the way it looks, that's going to be amazing.

There were a few guys who aped Kirby's style here and there, the dude who finished Phantom Force and a bunch of Image stuff. Nobody bought it and it all went away.
