Artist Paul Renaud’s variant for the upcoming Captain America #1 by Ta-Nehisi Coates, featuring within the cover, cover art by Jack Kirby and Joe Simon.
As always we are unable legally to make money off these strips, but please consider chucking a few dollars at the nice folks at Stop Soldier Suicide instead because Lord only knows our government isn’t taking care of our veterans.
Also, I have a prose novel that’s crowdfunding at the moment and you like action and murder and cliffhangers and knights, hello, maybe you might like The Scottish Boy.
Yes it can! – this jacket is totally based off of jackets that actually existed/were made and worn by members of the armed forces! I think it was mostly WWII flight jackets, but I could be wrong there. Example!:
I swear I’ve seen ones with the rifles on like in the art, but fuck if I can find one now.
what i’m getting at here, though, is that you can totally headcanon the howlies having coats like that/buck and steve making coats like that for themselves in the modern era/making one for cosplay because fuck yeah reasonable plausibility
THEY ABSOLUTELY ARE RIFLES, AND Y’ALL ABSOLUTELY GOT IT RIGHT I WAS GOING FOR A WWII TROPHY JACKET FEEL
First of all, Baby Boy was drafted into World War II not knowing what would happen to him. He left behind his entire family (mom and sisters), and very problematic (and sick) best friend, to possibly never to return.
Secondly, our Little Lovebug ended up being a prisoner of fucking war and experimented on by a mad Nazi scientist.
Thirdly, he fell from a train while trying to help save the god damned world from Hydra domination.
Fourthly, he was tortured and brainwashed into becoming an assassin who then spent 70+ years doing atrocious acts to those who opposed Hydra. And when not committing these acts of Hydra, being cryogenically frozen until his evil alter ego was needed.
Fifth, he escaped his Hydra captivity to finally be able to start remembering who he truly is, James Buchanan Barnes, but has to do it on the run in Romania because he’s being hunted by both Hydra AND the US Government.
Sixth, our Precious Plum was just minding his own business before being FALSELY accused of bombing the United Nations. Therefore, he had to run again. (But this time, his friend is joining him to prove his innocence… which also causes a lot of drama between his best friend’s new work crew.)
Seventh, after his innocence for the UN bombing is fucking proven (yes it was), Hunky Honey Bunches of Oats voluntarily put himself back into a cryogenic chamber until a smart-as-hell sixteen year old was able to break his brainwashing. (It worked, btw.)
Eighth, the Jelly Bean was finally woken up and leading a normal, brainwash free, and quiet life when Barney the GIant Purple Dick Head decided he needed some special space gems to dstroy half of the universe. Of course, with a heart of gold and a sense of right, Boy-o ends up fighting again.
Then – turns out – he is part of the half that gets erased from existance. (I can’t post that gif as it hurts too bad.)
Life has not been fair to our Pumpkin Roll, and he does not deserve a single piece of hate that gets sent his way. So, don’t come to this house and say that Bucky Barnes is a villain because it for sure ain’t true, and you will for sure get bitch slapped for that blasphemy.
This has been a Bucky Barnes Appreciation Post from The Bucky Barnes Protection Squad, and we approve of this message.
