Hannah john-kamen out having fun in Utah for Thunderbolts* filming 🏜️👻

[ghostarr]

A quick warm-up drawing with quick color. My Thunderbolts comics re-read has brought me to the Dark Reign era, and that means the presence of sweet Ghost, whom I love so very much.

Thunderbolts* set photo of Ghost's new costume... originally mislabeled as Yelena, atlanta filming corrected their mistake the next day.

Looks similar to unused concept art for Ghost from Amatw, by Andy Park.

New costume has similar elements as the old one, with spine detailing down the back, thick rubbery material, and a hood. The sleeves also have similar paneling and ribbing. This suggests the new suit is also likely functional for controlling Ghost's phasing.

The skirt of the jacket is however a new feature, creating a very different silhouette.

the way i keep deluding myself as this being the opportunity to introduce ava to the comics

:(

They're coming.

[ghostarr]

Thunderbolts mission goes bad

Ava: you know what we have to do now?

John: we should take this as a learning opportunity and see what we can do better next time

Ava: actually I was gonna say blame bucky.

John: Let's do both.

[ghostarr]

I'd die for them.

Bonus.

Lack of Sleep Starters!

pronouns and context can be changed as you see fit.

When was the last time you actually got some rest?

Alright, that's it. You're going to bed, and I'm not taking no for an answer.

Look at you! You're spilling coffee.

You have bags, and I'm not talking about the Gucci kind.

Jesus, have you been awake the entire night?

It's 4am. You need sleep.

You're safe here. You can rest now.

I promise, I'm fine. I just look tired a lot, thanks to... the tiredness.

Look, I'm okay! I've pulled all nighters before.

This isn't the first time I've gone without sleep.

I'll carry you to bed if I have to.

Do I need to baby you?

Huh? What? I'm awake, I swear!

You just ran into the wall. It's time to lie down.

Go. To. Bed. That's an order.

I made a nest for you. You can sleep in that, if you want.

Can I get an extra pillow / blanket?

Want me to tuck you in, too?

I'll check in on you in an hour. You'd better not have moved.

“Hey boo. How’s things been ?”

( have one sillyass martial artist with a sillyass little smile on his face because he is happy to see his boo )

Things have been rough, though she can't find the words to convey it yet. Not when she's matching his smile with one of relief. Relief that he's still here, safe. That he's happy to see her, now that she's managed her way back.

He isn't the only one she hasn't seen for awhile. Being forced even further underground than usual means she lost contact with Bill.

And as her body gives a characteristic flicker and her smile goes slightly strained, it's obvious she hasn't been in contact with Lang or Pym either. "I..." she reaches out a bit tentatively, seeking contact. "I missed you."

[ghostarr]

anyone rp on here anymore? having a difficult time finding people to follow...

[ghostarr]

Hold on, little girl.

Hope Van Dyne (Wasp) x Ava Starr (Ghost)

Because production started! Some thunderbolts thoughts...

We already know yelena has been working for valentina for some time, and in hawkeye it seems implied she got her as a contact from another ex-widow after she blipped back. So valentina having red room connections makes sense. As does alexei and antonia joining through yelena. (Though i am curious if antonia survived the snap and how she's developed in those years. i feel like she needs those extra years to properly age her up, and become her own person. i'm still pretty iffy on the bw timeline...)

We saw valentina recruit walker in fatws after being stripped of his title. So once again she's swooping in to pick up a displaced soldier in a desperate moment. It's obvious she has interest in a very specific kind of enhanced individual, ones that were strictly trained and bitter about being used and now lacking direction. The red room, hydra, and shield are now all gone. So they're "free." But they're all used to taking orders and not really used to making their own life choices. Ava, antonia, and yelena didn't have normal childhoods past a young age, how would they adapt back into society after being isolated from it? Even walker who has been in the military pretty much his entire adult life, that's his entire purpose and we saw how upset he was to lose it. Obviously this makes it very easy for valentina's offer to appeal. What are any of them going to do? Get an office job? Lol

We only got some hints of val's actual agenda as cia director in wf, but there's definitely more to be revealed. But it'll be interesting to see the mcu political landscape through secret invasion, cap4, and thunderbolts.

So i'm curious how she's not just recruiting bucky, but positioning him as the leader of the team. since valentina has shown longterm plans, it's got to be more than slapped together for a single mission. How would she have sold it to somebody like bucky? Giving him the opportunity to mentor and guide troubled heroes like himself? Obviously he'll be in a good position to understand what a lot of them have been through. And since he's worked with the avengers in iw and endgame, his experience legitimizes the operation. I'm pretty sure most of them will be convinced they're working on the good side doing the right thing, even if they're getting their hands a bit dirty.

But the one I'm most curious about is of course ava. How do you get somebody with such trust issues against the government on board with working for the cia. Does she have prior history with valentina? Is she being blackmailed or threatened the raft instead? Is she playing along because she has insider info she's looking to sabotage? There's a lot to work with given comic ghost's thunderbolts history and motivations, it'll be interesting to see if they tie her motivations into those storylines.

The appeal of the thunderbolts comics for me has always been all the conflicting agendas and loyalties that unravel in the worst way. I'm definitely expecting betrayals and twists if it's being done correctly. And after watching beef i feel like the creative team really understands messy dynamics. I know a lot of people were initially skeptical over the members lineup, but i see so much potential!! And i'm so excited to see how sentry ties into this too.

Anyway ive been waiting forever for this 😭

[ghostarr]

Cant wait for set photos 👀
