The Captain America above, being held by Stan? He was crying moments later from jubiliation. What complaints there were, seem to be over queue management For some creators, they were just too popular, and Mark Buckingham was among those who found himself swamped with adoring fans willing to queue for hours CreatIRS, vendors and publishers I[...]

Another has a Captain America star on the back of his shirt Another has a Spider-Man tattoo on his shoulder. We've had Teen Titans burning down the X-Men mansion Now we have Nightwing symbolically beating up the Marvel Universe. One has a Punisher skull on the back of his jacket Another has a Captain America star[...]

There's a stereotype that someone who reads comics, doesn't enjoy sports. I'm not sure how true that is, the same obsession that sees people memorise

Tony Stark/Captain America slash fiction, into overdrive… Expect lots and lots and lots of the above And in every one, Captain America at some point saying "Mr Stark…" Visual by Destiny Ponderosa.     His hands are in Tony's hair almost immediately after he climbs into his lap, carding through brown locks as he presses their lips together insistently[...]

Stuff happens. Yesterday in the Marvel Liveblogs, they announced that in April, Captain America & Hawkeye will replace the 1940s-set Captain America & Bucky, written by Cullen Bunn and drawn by Alessandro Vitti. But it seems to be about to become a bit of a new Marvel Team-Up style, as this title and creatuve team will last[...]

I have been asked by a company who wishes to be nameless for now, who are looking for Batman-related cosplayers who would be available in Birmingham,UK on Sunday, the 5th of February. They are specifically looking for Batman, Bane, Catwoman and possibly the Joker, movie or comic book versions, along with Captain America or Iron Man. I'm[...]

That was Christmas. But enough about that. New comics hit the US tomorrow and the UK on Thursday (just like in the old days) and Grace Randolph and Think

Including, it seems, Captain America issues five and six, both published next week. As is Captain America And Bucky #625. So basically, if you like Captain America, then all your Christmases have come at once The Wednesday after Christmas, that is. It must be end of the quarter How can we tell? Because that's when Marvel Comics often [...]

Longtime comic book creator Joe Simon passed away earlier today at 98, according to a Facebook post from Joe's son. Simon is best known for his work as the co-creator of Captain America with artist Jack Kirby, but that is just one of scores of contributions he made to the industry, both as a writer and[...]

Continuing in the vein of the giant 'Assemble' poster we saw back in July Marvel have issued two new banner images to promote next year’s Avengers movie. You’ve probably seen them. If not, here they are.

The first Captain, Captain America, was big in this auction, with the highlight being Captain America Comics #1, graded 5.0 Extensive Professional Restoration by CGC, finishing tonight at $8,400 — an extremely strong price for an Extensive (P) Cap #1 in this grade. Many of the high grade unrestored Captain America Comics that come later in this[...]

US federal agents, working with Mexican counterparts seized seventeen tonnes of marijuana earlier this week, as attempts were made to smuggle the haul through two 400 yard long tunnels under the border between San Diego and Tijuana. After visiting Tijuana a couple of times while attending San Diego Comic Con… yeah. And in true All-American branding fashion,[...]

He wasn't the first artist to work for Marvel in the Silver Age, and he wasn't the most prolific artist to work for Marvel in the Silver Age, but when you

The film it was in aid of? Something called Frostbite. Doesn't take a genius to work out that this wasn't a Scott of the Antarctic adventure, and even a Supporting Artiste – intellectually-challenged that we are, of course – could use a famous search-engine-cum-verb to figure out that this was really Captain America. Captain America: The First Avenger,[...]

Which features the memorial service for Bucky Barnes – Captain America's sidekick in the war, who was revived as Soviet weapon The Winter Soldier and then became Captain America when the original was thought dead. During the issue you discover that the Winter Soldier identity, at least, is alive and kicking. And at the back there is[...]

This would have been a rather effective scene in the Captain America movie Right from the glory of the American propaganda shows, straight into World War II trenches with Dum Dum Dugan and Bucky Barnes being blasted by Hydra goons. It's one of seven deleted scenes in the Captain America movie. This would have been a[...]

So far, on the basis of the few snippets of dialogue on show here Robert Downey Junior owns the film but there's a lot that can happen between now and next May.

This is an image just teased by Marvel… And this is another teaser from not so long ago, that led into Captain America: Reborn. So… I wonder who's getting born again this time? Another Winter Soldier? How many did Russia have? In Swipe File we present two or more images that resemble each other to some[...]

It has an incredibly clumsy title. It's by a team that didn't exactly get a great critical reception on previous books. But Marvel are throwing everything

Alan Davis has taken over Steve McNiven on the monthly Captain America comic book, still written by Ed Brubaker He will start work on the series from issue six in December, and will keep the "A-List" feel to the book through into 2012, with the spotlight of the DVD and then the Avengers movie being[...]

Honest. The treatment of Captain America at Marvel Comics has come in for some criticism, especially from the right of late Placards aside, there was considerable disquiet as to what was seen as Captain America criticising what were seen as Tea Party supporters Of course, that was a different man, Bucky, under the suit and he's[...]

He writes for Bleeding Cool when he's not got homework. I finally got round to seeing Captain America: The First Avenger a few nights ago and I thought on a whole the film was absolutely awesome but it did have a few faults here and there. I thought the acting was fantastic I loved the way Chris[...]

Bleeding Cool does a fine line in typos. Fresh every day, delivered in time for breakfast, you can always rely on us for your regular  "Collen Doran", a

Both portrayed as young boys being used by the American government to fight their wars. In Captain America And Bucky… well scrap the beginning of that title This is Bucky Year One, in a number of ways It's the origin of the character, both in mind and in body, and justifying how a sixteen year old[...]

But when the ticket sales were accounted for on Monday, Paramount said "Captain America" had actually collected $65.1 million over the weekend Of course, that's still a solid opening — one that's more than $10 million higher than the debuts of both "Green Lantern" and "X-Men: First Class" in June —'Captain America' didn't beat 'Thor'[...]

Two pieces of pop caught my attention this week, the new CAPTAIN AMERICA movie and the shooting video game CALL OF JUAREZ: THE CARTEL. Apart from being the two major releases I watched and played, I found something they both had in common: both presented a particular vision of America. CALL OF JUAREZ: THE CARTEL has gotten[...]

Now here's a hero that I'd trust to punch Hitler in the face in the name of freedom and democracy. The Muppets have had a blast throwing out parody

Concurrent with the release this week of Captain America: The First Avenger, Marvel Studios has begun its full court press for promoting its May 2012 release, The Avengers  Yesterday's concept art for the film featuring a good look at Captain America and Iron Man, now here's Hawkeye and Black Widow. Concurrent with the release this[...]

Either way it's too late to delete this paragraph now. The evolution of the Captain America costume, from authentic 1940s style to something more like the Ultimates look, is beautifully done Ditto the shield. It's a bit of a stretch that the Nazis have awesome Asgardian-powered super weapons and CCTV, but I am so smitten with this[...]
