It took me forever to finish this thing. Partly because of needing to adjust to my new work schedule, and partly because I kept friggin' forgetting to put it on a flash drive so I could work on it over the weekend. I actually only have a panel and a half to ink, and then lettering, and I can post another two pages. But I'm ready for bed, so I'll post those over the weekend.
Now that I'm done with my brilliant commentary on Marvel's events, I guess I should explain what all that shit was about. I had to establish a few things:A. This story takes place in a series of comic books
B. The main characters are supposed to keep the story going in these comics
C. They're not very good at it
So somewhere along the line, I came up with this. Well, actually, I can't remember what exactly I had come up with. Iron Man was tapping a pencil out of boredom, but by the second panel he and Cap were fighting over it. But hey, I accomplished what I set out to do.
I was planning on using a team of Captain Ersatzes, but for some reason I used the actual characters instead. It got me out of designing five characters for three pages, so that's probably the only reason. That last panel up there was supposed to be a gag panel, but because I was using the actual characters, my inner nerdiness stopped me in the middle of drawing the dust cloud and said, "Dammit, Rob! You're drawing Captain America, Iron Man, Wolverine, Spider-Man, and She-Hulk fighting over the Infinity Gauntlet! You will NEVER get another chance to draw something this awesome!" So even though the panel was too smushed, I tried my best. My Iron Man looks pretty bad, though. I'm just no good with tech.
My last word on the matter is that it was certainly fun, if pointless. I just wish that I had messed around with the characters more, like changing their outfits between their 616 and Ultimate versions and stuff. Spider-Man turns into Deadpool for one panel, but that's about it.
