Cammy's Covers – From Adventure Time to Uncanny Avengers
I can honestly say I've fallen hard for Laurie with this cover, all thanks to the majestic stylings of Bruce Timm.     Captain America & Black Widow #639  by Francesco Francavilla This is my favorite cover of the week, hands down As if it wasn't action-packed enough with the Lizard tearing up the joint, the addition of Doc[...]

Sixteen Thoughts About Fifteen Comics – Deadpool, Supurbia, Captain America, Comeback, Wonder Woman, Clone, Hawkeye, Red Hood And The Outlaws, Catwoman, Journey Into Mystery, Wolverine And The X-Men, Batwoman, Iron Man, Judge Dredd and The Indestructable Hulk
Well, you know what I mean. In Captain America, we get a Green Skull… well, we have a Red Hulk, why not? Actually snark aside, while I like the man a lot, I've never really got on with Rick Remender's writing Even while the likes of X-Force and Fear Agent was being praised, it left me[...]
Captain America Fights Bigotry, Censorship And Terrorism At Hastings
Here's the Hastings variant edition of Captain America #1 for Marvel NOW! Of course this does behoove me to point out that Hastings were signees supporting internet censorship… Also, probably not a good place for Rivera to add his name… also, is Captain America is fighting graft, or is Graft the name of the inker or colourist…?

You Have To Feel Sorry For Acura RDX Product Placement People
Seriously, Acura spend all that money on product placement for their new RDX in Avengers, literally in a show room window at which Captain America stops to take a look, with all the futuristic display devices, and what happens? It gets cut out in the final edit. Then when it is included as a deleted scene,[...]
What Kind Of President Would Captain America Be?
Ah, spoiler warnings are pointless now. In last week's Ultimates #15, Captain America became President of what is left of the Unites States of America It was a. rather odd move, and I'm still not sure it stands up politically., and smacks of voter fraud But then, that's what I thought about George W Bush's election[...]
So How Does (SPOILER) Get To Be (SPOILER) Anyway?
So how does Captain America get to do it by accident in today's Ultimates? Without campaigning, without debates, without, it seems, an Electoral College? Here's how. An emergency election then, A limited two week campaign Multiple candidates rather than two party mandated choices Increasing the odds that anything could happen, in a country where everything has just[...]
