[Marvel] O Captain, My Captain

I read Secret Empire: Prelude and came across one of the most beautiful two page spreads that I had ever seen (from Captain America: Sam Wilson #7).

 

These character shots of the three men who have taken up the mantle of Captain America - Sam Wilson, Steve Rogers, and James Buchanan Barnes - were inspired by the feelings that rose up in me after reading #7 and #8 in their entirety. Marvel's previous mishaps once convinced me that the franchise was no longer worth following, but these two issues renewed my belief that Marvel still has respect for its classic characters, even though they might not be as prominent as they were before.

 

I really like how Bucky Barnes looks with the Nightwing head - overall, it's a really versatile piece. I was able to find an extra one on Bricklink for only 5 bucks while looking for additional parts to include in an unrelated order. Me wanting to show off how nice the head looks was one of the reasons why I didn't put him in his Captain America outfit, with the main reason being I wanted to portray them as they appeared in the Pleasant Hill/Kobik event.
