Preview: New Captain America

[WannabeMego]

I wonder if it has anything to do with this:

Companies have been known to changes characters enough (legally), either by design or by story, so that they do not have to pay because it's enough of a change to constitute a new character.

Just food for thought.

By the way, the law in which Joe Simon used to reaquire (or in this case, settle) his rights to Captain America is the same law that Disney is trying to vigorously change so they don't loose their rights to their characters (real soon).

Hope he got a *****load of money from Marvel!!!

Go Joe!!!



P.S. I don't feel the same way towards Stan Lee though...he should roast on a spike.

I would NOT buy another Bat Book Until Bruce came back. Intersting thought though, With the Previous rumor ...., & after reading Wizard they had an Article on Final Crissis,.. & Well they state that Jason Todd will be huge in the story. So if the Previous rumor is not true now,.. Whats gonaa be so huge for Todd then.

Seems the killing Bruce rumor has gone away, but Ross is redesigning his suit.

>Make Yours Marvel or else.

HAW! Couldn't hurt, I guess....

I dunno. The new outfit isn't THAT different, other than the shine. I hate the gun though. He's got the wacky wonder frizbe of villain-smashing +5; WHY does he need the gun?

Oh yeah; 'cos "24" is popular....

What's to redesign? Besides Ross making it all shiny and black....

I think sometimes DC like Marvel can't leave well enough alone......Batman has the Perfect costume...where else can you go Robo Batman? or like he did in Kingdom Come with his Darth Vader Batman?......Sometimes i just think the toy dept sits on these meetings and says we need to change his suit so we can sell tons of Artic Battle suit batman.....

I LOVE the Year One:BATMAN Costume....why mess with PERFECTION?????

My local comics store has a nice poster of the new Cap (by Ross?) pointing a gun at the viewer on their door.....nice for the kids to see right as they walk in the joint!

Are there really kids walking into comic stores these days? I certainly don't see too many compared to the majority of adults in there.

Although I also don't think it's anything too different than a kid seeing this kind of poster when they walk into their local movie theatre on their way to see a Disney or Pixar movie...

Keeping in mind there was a period when Robocop was marketed to kids via a Saturday Morning cartoon and the accompanying line of action figures.

I'm certainly no gun advocate and thank my lucky stars we have tighter gun laws up here in Canada, but I don't think the comic book store is any more to blame than the local Toys R Us that sells toy guns and action figures that carry guns y'know? I don't think comic stores for the most part even pretend to cater to any kind of kids consumer.

Anyone else read Brubaker's Young Avengers: Patriot one shot this week?

I would love to see Eli become more of a supporting cast member in Brubaker's Cap run. He certainly is an interesting foil in terms of the complexity of questions that only a youth challenging authority can muster.
