So who got death threats yesterday? Oh that's right, Nick Spencer, for writing a Captain America comic book that they didn't like (though with art from Jesus Saiz, how could they not??)

It's at this point that I'd like to reiterate that Captain America is a fictional character. Marvel Comics is invested in Captain America. Wherever the story will end up, Steve Rogers will probably not actually be a Nazi. And no matter how much you don't like his story (especially if you didn't actually read the thing) sending him a death threat on social media is even less like Captain America isn't it?

i have passion for how much i hate what you've done
75 years of a character that you've just defaced, it's repulsive

I admire you right now. it takes a type of person to tell so many people who want to kill you that you admire their passion

@Marvel yeah, no. Considering that the original authors were Jewish men writing against Nazi oppression this makes no sense at all.

.@EW @Marvel this is the stupidest fucking gimmick I have ever seen. You fucked up on this one, Marvel.

Though as David Harper says,
You think Nick Spencer was mean to Captain America, you should read Morning Glories. Those poor children…

Look for the rationale in a month…
