    Very interesting. Also: projecting the drawing table on the wall is a pretty cool touch.

      Repent and trust in Jesus. We all deserve Hell for our sins, such as lying lusting coveting and more. We can't save ourselves, but Jesus can save us. He died on the cross to save us for our sins and rose from the grave defeating death and Hell. You must put your faith in him only. He is the only way to Heaven. Repent and trust in Jesus.

    I really enjoyed her reinterpretation. You just have to appreciate someone seriously exploring how Jack Kirby was expressing the action. I really do like how she minimizes the use of the panels showing an uncluttered flow of motion at the top. However, I LOVE the way Jack would use linear perspective and have the characters almost pop out of the page....so the bottom part of her illustration looks a little flat to me compared to Jack's. For example Cyclops firing his optic beams and being flung back. I didn't see Jack as trying to do comedy there. I really like his foreground and background implied with depth perception rather just merely right to left horizontal motion. All in all...I am VERY IMPRESSED with her conversation and fresh approach. I've subscribed. Love to see and here more.

    In a different story Eel with electricity similar to Electro and Unicorn defeated both Iceman and Cyclops. How powerful they are varies with stories although maybe had more time to charge power source in other story.

    Ta recréation de la page est, comme toujours, incroyablement instructive et le résultat est d'autant plus impressionnant qu'on sent parfaitement l'esprit de Jack Kirby dans le résultat.
    Ça donne vraiment le sentiment qu'il aurait totalement pu faire ce type de composition si il avait été comic book artiste au delà des années 90. Et la composition finale allie parfaitement charme old-school et modernité. Un grand bravo, et merci encore pour la réflexion et l'inspiration qu'apportent ces vidéos !

  • @anthonymichael3713

    How is electro & everyone shooting the beams from the back of their heads, facing away from iceman?? And it looks like this big concentrated blast is only shooting the ice boulder out of iceman's hand, which looks as if somehow he was carrying it one handed. The comic panels kirby did make the reader visualize what's unseen between the panels, and one can perfectly visualize the villains hitting iceman overhead, and this concentrated blast remaining on him as he hits the ground at the far right panel. You can literally visualize this continued blast on iceman as he's hitting the ground, because of kirby's unbelievably clear view of what the imagination can see between the panels. IT give the reader the feeling of urgency, and you see cyclops attempting to help him bottom left, he shoves him out of the way, and in turn gets blasted himself, and it beautifully leads you to the next page. Your bottom panel has cyclops falling back in a left direction, which upsets the flow of the left to right action. In kirby's bottom right panel, as cyclops is thrown back, it looks as if he's about to be thrown right out of the comic page, while with your page nothing is coming forward at all, it looks as if its all falling back into the page which makes it all look flat. Honestly, your style and work is very good but presently because you only have a very basic understanding on line weight, and most importantly using those lines to prompt the mind's eye to visualize and see what's not there, which kirby to this day had an unmatched mastery of, there really isn't anyone who can reinterpret kirby's work. Kirby always was and always will be the greatest artist of any medium because the heart of any page he did wasn't in his explosions, or for that matter anything the reader could visually see on the page, but the action the reader saw in his imagination that his drawings provoked that carried the reader to the next panel.

    Très impressionnant, j'ai l'impression que la manière dont tu te passe de cases rends l'action plus continue et donne une sensation d'accélération.

    Only Mandarin would use a laser, Melter dissolves materials can be set to dissolve flesh does not call a laser, Electro shoots electricity. Unicorn uses a uni-beam although don't know what form of energy it is. Beetle doesn't shoot energy. Jack Kirby's picture did not show any energry from the melter although could be behind another beam although might be meant to be invisible beam if he used one was not explained in Jack Kirby's version.
