It's Official: The New Captain America Doesn't Kill

[johnmiic]

Yeesh! That shot of them getting shot in the knees hurts to look at. I'm so glad they didn't draw him shooting them in the balls.

Steve Rogers prefered using an Uzi...

Hmmmm....

Y'know, it's nice to see AIM as them bucket-headed guys again. It's weird to see Cap cappin' them. Seems needlessly brutal, since it doesn't neccessarily take 'em out of action. You've crippled them, but the odds of someone staying conscious and shooting back are pretty high. (Perhaps that's how THIS Cap will eventually be "killed?")

Say; did anyone catch the "Colbert Report" last night? Stephen was kind of upset about not being picked for the new Cap. In the Marvel Universe he's still running for President though... maybe with the Hulk as his running mate. It was pretty funny.

I have to dig the four-issue Captain America mini-series and the Mark Waid - Ron Garney issues I have. Maybe one day I'll track down the John Byrne issues that got me started reading Cap. Like the famous Cap for President! As much as I like Alex Ross' stuff...eh.

This seems a little like Bane breaking Bruce Wayne's back and Azrael taking over as a darker Knight. Passing over Dick Grayson.

I haven't read how Bucky came back as the Winter Soldier. Just thinking about Bucky coming back seems wrong somehow. Steve Rogers shot dead on the street seems wrong, too.

How did he out-shoot 3 guys with M-16's... and he's only got a Buck Rogers looking pistol..
What is it, a super-gun ?

a semi-automatic pistol will crank off 3 rounds in less than 1 second so if cap/bucky had the drop on them and fired without warning them the 3rd shot would be out of the gun gefore they could react.

I didn't read the issue or the prior panels but based on the angles of the AIM guys they weren't facing him ey to eye in a western like stand off. it looks like he shot them while they were facing other directions.

now for reality 3 shots rapid fire 1 handed at 3 separate targets (nevermind Knee shots) is the kind of shot that only occurs in film. And as someone who has been shot they could still have shot back with those M-16's (or ar-15's if semi only) yeah it hurts but getting shot can also make you fight really hard for your life

But they can't cuz Cap just shot 'em in the knee,
So they have to crawl on all fours if they want to try and flee,

Dude, I just literally spit out a drink reading those two lines while picturing a manly male chorus belting it out . . . you need to post warnings . . .
