Cap Becomes A In WWII - Comic Book Resources

I absolutely HATE the retconning Marvel has been doing in regards to Cap's ICONIC costume...That artwork is HORRIBLE!

[kingdom warrior]

Agreed Please Marvel leave Cap The **** alone!!!!!!!! especially the WW2 version

[madmarva]

I hate the costume change, but I love the idea of a Cap series set during WW II.

Cap is a great as a man out of his time, and as a hero in general, but the character's origins were rooted in WWII and I just think it's going to be fun to see his history unfold with modern story-telling techniques.

I'd love to see a Superman or Batman book starting 1938 or 39, or a Hal Jordan series set 1959-60 in his jet jockey heyday.

At least this version has wings on the helmet.

Have you read Detective 27? Bruce Wayne's not quite Batman in this Elseworlds, but it is written by Michael "Batman Begins" Uslan!



and of course there is Byrne's first issues of Generations.


plus JSA Liberty Files.

Funny but true.

Cap Becomes A In WWII - Comic Book Resources

I'm surprised that Marvel didn't go with something closer to what Hitch did in Reborn/Rebirth ... whatever that was called. This kind of wholesale change to the outfit isn't needed.

What's even worse then the costume is the number of stars on the flag. Doesn't anyone check that kind of stuff.

I Love Love LOVE JSA Liberty Files. I want more from that universe!

Hmmmm....

It's really.... mediocre. Looks like a generic superhero outfit. (Actually, he looks a lot like Marvel's old Captain Mar-Vel. With pants.) And if you want to get technical, wouldn't wings like that indicate a jump qualified trooper? So I guess that's okay....

Maybe it's WWII, but set in the 1950's. lol

Yeah, I've read those, but I would like to see an ongoing series with the characters set in their primal stages, telling their stories in the time period they were created. Superman and Batman have proven to be durable characters that can survive decades with tweaks here and there.

But these characters are also very much of the time they were created, and I think it would be fun to read ongoing stories about them in that time period. There were a couple of Batman miniseries a few years back that were close with Hugo Strange and Azzerallo's series with Batman, Spirit and Doc Savage is in the same wheelhouse.

But what about Superman? When he wasn't quite so powerful. Set in an Art Deco style Metropolis. I know I'd probably be the only one to buy it, but I think it would be fun.
