I am terrible, terrible at finishing things. I usually need deadlines to force me to. :/ I have over a hundred WIPs.

And it's quite hard to find someone who draws him muscular, but not like a brick house

Oh, boy, have I got an artist for you! Pacheho's work on the first arc of Ultimate Avengers.

[valtyr]

The arc Pacheho does is in trade as Ultimate Avengers: The Next Generation. It's fairly late on, but not a bad jumping on point. It's... Millar-y in places, though, especially issue 5. On the other hand, it focuses on Steve and gives a decent insight into his brain, which is... actually rather scary. (It also introduces Tony's twin Gregory.)

Also, warning, the Ultimate Captain America miniseries may tempt you. It has some glorious art. But it is poison and terrible and the characterisation of Cap is shamefully bad, and actively contradicts much other characterisation. If anyone tries to foist it upon you, kick them inna fork and run.

Oh yes, in particular in Ultimates the serum has noted effects on the brain functions. 616 Steve is supposed to have increased multi-tasking abilities, aiding his tactical grasp of a situation, but Ult Steve has that aspect highlighted much more. Tony's twin does not get as much panel time as one might like - Millar left Marvel to write independent comics, and wrapped up that plot. They do have some delightful bickering, however.

That's fine! Are you on Dreamwidth at all, or just LJ? I do most of my reading on DW now.

Gotcha! Added. :D

John? John Walker, you mean? His enhancements were pretty different? I actually think it's heavy subtext in Ults that all the effects weren't positive. The Starks bickered over hair loss and who was flying last year's helicopter. :D

Do you use Gchat at all? I'd love to chat in more detail about the serum and brain thing.
