Story of a Five Year-Old Avenger, Meeting the Avengers
“Hi, Loki!” my wife said (100% sure she didn’t know Tom Hiddleston’s name). “Can my son get a picture with you?” she asked. “Can I put him on my shoulders?” Loki asks. “Um … okay?” is Jill’s response and hands Tom Hiddleston our son. He hoists him up on to his shoulders (I should mention that this guy is like 8 feet tall), and my wife takes out her Blackberry, only to find that it’s on its last battery leg.

I love the hell out of Mr. Miracle and Big Barda but I don’t think I’ve ever really drew them. Especially since I’ve started drawing decently. So here is me doing something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. I was going to add more rendering or tones but then I thought, why? I couldn’t answer myself and I liked where it was at so here this is. I hope you like it. This is my favorite love story in comics.
BEST.
