The first issue of Captain America: Steve Rogers has debuted and to say it’s caused a stir is an understatement. Without spoiling the issue, Steve Rogers ends the issue revealing an allegiance to someone that you never thought you would see.
The writer of the issue, Nick Spencer, has received quite the backlash on Twitter. Others, like Brian Bendis and Ed Brubaker, are also feeling the backlash despite having nothing to do with that particular comic. It was enough of a reaction that Facebook went and spoiled the surprise on their trending topics page.
The reaction to the story, while nice to see since it shows that people have feelings for the character, is a little puzzling. Would I want to see a character I cared about written in a way that was contrary to how he’d been portrayed? Of course. But I wouldn’t judge the...

Captain America is one of the most famous and important superheroes in the Marvel Universe. He is also the oldest Marvel hero to consistently have his own comic as he was created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby in 1941. Beginning as a figure of anti-German and Japanese propaganda, Captain America and his civilian identity evolved into a man out of time, and one who was filled with great guilt because of the death of his partner Bucky Barnes. He went from wholeheartedly supporting the United States’ policy to refusing to wear the stars and stripes when the president himself was at the center of a conspiracy to hunt him down and kill him. He has fought and been betrayed by old friends and lovers, but Captain America still act as the moral center of the Marvel Universe, and the hero everyone from Spider-Man to The Punisher and Wolverine look up to and respect.

It's 1942, and war is thundering across the globe.
Young Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) wants to do his part in the war. There's one problem - the man is as fit for battle as a broken matchstick. His body does not reflect the strength of his spirit, however, and Rogers attempts to enlist under different names in different places, all in the hopes that he might be approved and so allowed to serve his country.
Dr. Abraham Erskine (Stanley Tucci) - a scientist working on a secret project for the allies - happens to catch wind of Rogers rather sincere and dedicated attempts at joining the military. Erskine interviews the young Rogers and finds that the man...

When I read the news that Jack Kirby’s kids were seeking copyrights to all their father’s Marvel creations, I found it curious that Sony is one of the studios sent termination notices.
Why? Because Sony’s only Marvel-based movies that might have anything to do with Kirby’s legacy are those in the “Spider-Man” franchise—and he’s never had official credit for co-creating Spider-Man or the other major characters in the superhero’s mythology.
Apparently, bloggers at The Hollywood Reporter were also intrigued by the claims of the Sony/Spider-Man part of the case, especially after getting their hands on two of the notices, which respectively seek to recapture rights to most of the original characters from the Fantastic Four and Spider-Man comics.
The former makes sense, as Kirby is known to have co-created the team with Stan Lee. The majority of initial Spider-Man characters, however, are...

Today's installment of comic-related news items that wouldn't generate a post of their own, but may be of interest...
* Even Batman can't save everybody at Warner Brothers from a lousy economy. Reuters reports the studio is considering ways to cut its budget by 10 percent, saving tens of millions of dollars via layoffs or other steps. "No decisions have been made," said a Warner Bros spokesman regarding the cost cuts, which are widely expected to result in an unspecified number of layoffs at the studio. Warner Bros is owned by Time Warner Inc, which last week projected a loss for the year, compared with a previous forecast of earnings of $1.04 to $1.07 per share.
Hey... isn't DC Comics owned by Warner Brothers? Watch your backs, folks.
