Kaare Andrews

Endzeitstimmung! Sie haben es tatsächlich getan. New York hat die “Cape und Unterhosen”-Fraktion in den Gulli gekickt und den Big Apple zur heldenfreien Zone erklärt. Peter Parker? Der kann sich gar nicht mehr erinnern, was es heißt, Rot-Blau überzustreifen und durch den Nachthimmel zu schwingen. Will er auch nicht. Schließlich gibt es nichts mehr, wofür es sich zu kämpfen lohnt, oder? Bis ein alter Bekannter mit einem Paket und einer Botschaft vor der Türe steht – und alles verändert. Kaare Andrews‘ düstere Vision von Spider-Mans Zukunft. Schon heute ein Klassiker!… (más)

Amazing Fantasy is a throwback comic to the heyday of 70s Marvel comics, pulp adventure stories of yesteryear like Conan The Barbarian, and the What if? Marvel series. It's a fun and goofy and somewhat poignant exploration of what happens during a near death experience. Spy-school Black Widow, teenage Spider-Man, World War II Captain America — the most iconic versions of your favorite Marvel characters from across time and space — all wake up on an island of intrigue, darkness and amazing fantasy when it looks like they die in action.

Characters who talk with their mouths closed (when not using telepathy or just thinking). Nipple clothes. Wonky legs. Lots of boob shots. Weird faces that largely lack expression. The other artists aren't worth comment.… (más)
