I posted this way back in 2015. I look at the line work I developed since then, and I have a nagging suspicion that this is better than my later ink work, which was cleaner and more polished. I don’t ink as much any more because I, frankly, should be doing my own work. Looking back on it, my inks on this drawing look like my ideal version of my own drawings and sketchbook work (if that makes sense). Not every aspect of it is exactly “right”. But, the feel of it, and the sketchy line work. Yeah, that’s how I draw. I got tired of inking because I felt like I was deliberately cleaning up line work that I would prefer to be more sketchy and impressionistic.
‘Loki and his Horde of Chaos’, by Mike Mignola.
Very early Mignola. I think this was from 1981 or 1982. I forget where I found this.

Jonathan Majors is very good actor I say. But I did not find Kang to be very intimidating at all. This is to be the next big bad guy, the next Thanos? I'm not seeing it.
Jonathan Majors is indeed a good actor. It’s a testament to his acting that he made what was almost a whole Wikipedia page worth of exposition in episode six enjoyable to watch. Although that wasn’t Kang. That was Immortus… the older, warier variant of Kang… the variant of Kang that wants peace and order rather than war and conquest. Kang the Conqueror is a whole other kettle of fish. we haven’t seen him yet. He‘ll be portrayed by the same actor but is likely to be a lot less mirthful and unthreatening and a lot more of a Thanos-level menace (or at least that’s my expectation).
Look, all I want is for someone to compare him to Thanos and for him to get annoyed, declaring that “Kang the Conqueror does not require trinkets to mold the universe to his whim. My will and wits suffice.“ or something of that ilk.
First up, seconding that he managed to make like five solid minutes of exposition fun (and the shot compisition, sound direction and music managed to make exposition slightly menacing).
And, yeah, one thing to remember about Kang is that not only does every version of Kang hate each other, but each era of his existence hates each other. Like, he’s got four or five identities he adopts at various points in his life,and each of those hates the others. And they almost all hate Immortus, his final fate, the most.
Because Immortus is the scholar. He’s the barbarian who became king by his own hand and has lived to become bored of conquest.
If there’s one thing we get from Kang, it’s this shot from Avengers Forever:
Yes. 100% yes.
This is the basic breakdown:
“Younger Kang (Iron Lad) is an idealistic Whelp and a fool!”
“Older Kang (Immortus) is a feeble old librarian, desperately trying to maintain his relevance!”
“And I, the true Kang, am the rightful lord of all time and reality! Muahahaha!”
Avengers Forever is best summarized as the above argument, and Kang made the Avengers pick sides and help him.
Favorite character. Ever.
