Thanks for posting that, Grim Fandango!

I like this quote from Siekiewicz in the interview link:

"I was approached to contribute an illustration to one of several books celebrating the 100th anniversary of Jack Kirby’s birth, his incredible creative gifts to the world of comics, and to the world at large" Sienkiewicz said. "I'd always wanted to do my version of the Red Ghost and his trio of ape accomplices first. Doctor Doom was neck-and-neck in the race. For the book, and considering the iconic status and worldwide cultural ubiquity of Doom, I decided to do my own stylized interpretation of him."

"Jack Kirby’s Dr. Doom lit a fire in me; a fire that still burns to this day," the artist added

I meant to go through all of Battleworld chronologically, but I just couldn't help myself

god is, in this instance, of course referring to Rabum Alal, the Great Destroyer.

That reveal in Hickman's New Avengers I have to say was the first time in a while that I was surprised by a reveal in a comic book. Here's hoping that Hickman will revisit the Good Doctor in a Marvel comic some day.

I tried to convert my friend to be a Black Swan.
Didn’t work.
