Jack Rogers, the descendent of Captain America, has made a startling discovery about his government. He must now go on the run to survive and find a way to save his son. Does it make for a good read?

Maybe this one will be great. Captain America #701 cover by Michael Cho Loss: Captain America #701 Does Nothing With Its Premise Given Mark Waid's hot streak on Captain America, a utopian future comic based around the dream of Steve Rogers seems like a good start for an installment of Cap's comic[...]

However, the younger Rogers' body is rejecting the Serum, and Jack knows there is something wrong. Captain America #701 cover by Michael Cho Mark Waid seems to have a predilection for writing possible future stories for Captain America¸ doesn't he? This is an interesting potential future It's a bit of a generic utopia; no explanation is given beyond[...]

This one looks like it could be something special. Sex Criminals #24 cover by Chip Zdarsky Sex Criminals #24 I first tried Sex Criminals last issue, and I now feel great shame in having slept on this one for so long. Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky have a delightfully daring, funny, and absorbing sex drama/superhero/crime/comedy thing unlike any other comic I've read. Avengers #1 cover[...]

This one disappointed me greatly and is one of the more painful losses of the week. Captain America #700 cover by Chris Samnee and Matthew Wilson Win: Captain America #700 Gets tha Landmark Issue Right Captain America #700 came out at last this past week, and Mark Waid, Chris Samnee, and Matthew Wilson bring "Out of Time" to an impressive conclusion[...]

Mark Waid didn't skimp on the tear-eyed patriotism—which the 1960's era of of Cap they are channeling didn't actually have to this degree Steve at one-point flies into a rage and beats the tar out of Batroc the Leaper because the French mercenary called Americans "cowardly." Captain America #700 art by Chris Samnee and Matthew Wilson The art remains[...]

And for this panel, he went ninja… As a Bleeding Cool writer, I knew that sitting in the front row of the Mark Waid panel probably meant that I had to make sure that I kept my badge turned backwards the entire time Even though Waid has had some problems with Bleeding Cool in the past,[...]

The Avengers are still caught in the game between the Grandmaster and the Challenger, with Voyager's role in it all still a mystery. Plus, the Hulk is back and madder than ever. Is it a good read?

I'm not perfect. Captain America #699 cover by Chris Samnee and Matthew Wilson Win: Captain America #699 is Still Amazing Mark Waid and Chris Samnee's Captain America marches onward with another stellar issue of "Out of Time." Waid understands what people like about Steve Rogers Samnee provides his distinct yet classic artwork to keep the issue gorgeous and timeless[...]

I'm sad too. However, this issue does continue to show how well Mark Waid and Chris Samnee understand Steve Rogers, how he thinks, and how he acts Steve doesn't immediately try to challenge the Hulk He tries to get through to him or Banner first He doesn't ambush the Thing working away for Babbington; he lets[...]

Marvel has announced Mark Waid and Jesus Saiz will be the new creative team on a relaunch of the series And they are taking him cosmic. The Eye of Agamotto is closed!

This is America, 2025. As Rich Johnston said in his article, Mark Waid and Chris Samnee have returned Captain America to its more political-minded roots This comic takes aim at the rich and powerful Its villains are those who would drown out the less-fortunate under debt and expense to keep them in line. At the risk of[...]

Let the hunt begin. Captain America #697 cover by Chris Samnee and Matthew Wilson Mark Waid and Chris Samnee really have managed to recapture the spirit of a classic Captain America comic with this short run on the title This just feels like a classic comic in both premise and execution. It does have its more nuanced sensibilities[...]

The Mark Waid and Chris Samnee stint on Cap's book does feel like a very self-conscious 180 on Blecret Blimpire It's trying to make things really simple in a very complicated world, and Captain America has been tackling that world since… well the original Blecret Blimpire with varying success. All of that being said, Captain America[...]

Based on the 1984 Bruce Springsteen hit off the album Born in the U.S.A., Avengers: No Surrender is written by Mark Waid, Jim Zub, and Al Ewing, and issues #683-686 are mostly drawn by by Paco "Funky Cold" Madina, with some help by Joe Bennett on #684. In a press release, Marvel revealed Mark Brooks's covers[...]

Yesterday, a press release asked, "Where Is Wolverine And What Is His Shocking Secret?" Today, a press release declares, "Captain America: Back On Ice…The Answer Will Shock You!" The move to clickbait press releases is fitting in a way, considering the constant spamming of super-mega-crossover events, line-wide relaunches, and variant covers is basically the comic[...]

Based on the hit Bruce Springsteen song off his 1984 album Born in the U.S.A. — we assume — Avengers: No Surrender is co-written by Mark Waid, Al Ewing, and Jim Zub, and features a rotating art team of Pepe Larraz, Kim Jacinto, and Paco "Funky Cold" Medina. "In month two of NO SURRENDER, the rubber hits the road[...]

Venoms unite in this adventure, which brings together Spider-Man, Eddie Brock, and Flash Thompson. Is this a reunion worth remembering?

The Earth has been moved, and the planet is suffering for it. The Avengers are uniting to meet this threat, but will it be enough. Is it a good read?

Here's the actual description of the event, from the press release: "Co-written by Mark Waid, Al Ewing and Jim Zub with art by Pepe Larraz, Kim Jacinto and Paco Medina, AVENGERS: NO SURRENDER unites the casts and creative teams of three titles into one weekly book of exciting action It all starts with AVENGERS #675 this[...]

Certainly, the original Avengers seems to be important part of the upcoming Avengers: No Surrender event, with a lot of artwork centred around the original Avengers statue with the addition of mysterious new character Voyager. Avengers: No Surrender will be made up of the several Avengers titles currently being released, Avengers, USAvengers and Uncanny Avengers, creating[...]

Mark Waid has constructed a classic Captain America story perfectly opposing the most recent string of Steve Rogers tales Captain America is on his motorcycle, exploring small towns, and fighting injustice and cruelty when he sees it. Steve is soft-spoken and timid in the face of all the adoration He wants to encourage the best in[...]

That feeling continues here. It kind of feels like writer Mark Waid doesn't know what he wants to do with this team He built it, seems to like the characters, but doesn't know where to send them. Last issue did have some good character moments, particularly in regards to Thor convincing Falcon that he should continue to[...]

Now, with Jim Zub in the writer's chair and the subtraction of Deadpool, I am truly enjoying Uncanny Avengers for the first time since its creation. Mark Waid's All-New, All-Different Avengers was a darling of mine, too, until it split off into Champions and Avengers I followed the Champions for a good bit and was utterly[...]

But what if a character's legacy has been irreparably tarnished? When Captain America returns to Legacy numbering of #695 in November, writer Mark Waid and Chris Samnee will aim to put a fist through the smug face of the damaged reputation of Steve Rogers in the wake of Cap's fascist adventures in Secret Empire. "Our issues are[...]

In the continued saga of "Josh reads a past series and gets a thought," we now find ourselves revisiting Mark Waid's the Flash series from the early 1990s. I was reading the recently released trade of it, and found myself fixated on something that happened in #62, which was a "Year One" story for Wally West,[...]
