Card Art #3: Rally

Continuing my new feature (replacing “My Custom Mods”) in which I talk a bit on how I selected artwork for feats and battlefield conditions that didn’t come with art, originally, let’s look at:

Again, I had to move the text up higher on the card considerably to make room for the art.

Choosing the art was a bit tougher. The card seemed to be inspired by this comic page:

…in which the Avengers apparently all get to remove their action tokens after Thor’s KO and gangpile Superman.

But one of my guidelines for this project was to only use DC art and illustrations, just as the official card would have. So this hybrid version was out.

Another guideline was that back in 2006, I was limited to only the comics I personally owned, and at the time that collection was at a near-all-time low.

Fortunately I was still reading JSA on occasion, and recalled this scene of the team tackling Black Adam. I can’t remember if the team was rallying to a fallen member’s side or rescue, but I think the excellent Rags Morales art gets the point across.
