The teenager says he’d rather die with a horrified look with cross-eyed, frozen pond colored lifeless eyes. Later on, Colonel Walker Price says to a grunt that black blood might save his life on the battlefield. Reinstein say that black blood is no different than white blood every scientist should know this. At one point, one of the scientists says he heard Dr. To me, you’re only as good as how you treat others and peering into the dusk dewy eyes of another person is like looking into a massive mirror.

Our hero Isaiah Bradley is given warm purple tones to counterbalance the broad, boring military uniforms. His features are understandably softer and the lines are more curved and warm, less angular than Sargent Evans, but he’s used his influence to fight for justice and equality. Maurice Canfield is from a wealthy family.

Something about the caricature-but-not-really-caricature style humanizes the victims of these heinous experiments and gives them each backstory context beyond just narrative storytelling, which you would think it would have the opposite effect.

There is a weird David Lynch vibe for some of the characters, and I’m here for it. I am glad Marvel let the artists literally color outside the lines and tell an unconventional exciting and compelling story. The art is unlike anything I’ve ever encountered, particularly in a superhero book.
