NO.
Nrama: OK, the fact that you think he’s cool bodes well for those Bucky fans. It means you're not anxious to just kill him off or take away the shield right away.

Brubaker: Yeah, oh, yeah, I mean he’s – there was a point where we were trying to figure out if we should even bring Steve back. My intention was always to bring him back. But Bucky really did take over the starring role of that book, and if you go back and you look, in some ways it’s been about Bucky since I started. It’s been about Steve trying to figure out if Bucky was alive, and then once he realizes he is trying to save him, and then after Steve gets killed, it’s about Bucky trying to find out who he is and live up to Steve’s legacy. So it’s been a real character-driven book for all the superhero/supervillain battles.

this isnt a good thing.
Nrama: That’s true. We just bought it back another Flash, so I think there’s three or four running around.

Brubaker: Yeah. How many Flashes are there? There are like nine Flashes, like 85 Green Lanterns; there were at least two Iron Men at one point. I’m not going to spoil it, but yes, it will answer the question of who is Captain America, but whether people will be satisfied with the answer is going to be up to them.

Brubaker is a fag.

huh? why?

the book has been consistently good since he's been writing it...even the reborn series started out weird and has gotten progressively better...awesome art helps of course.

i am nervous about how things will play out once cap is really back though...

bought a grip of Legends of the Dark Knight issues for 25 cents apiece. The good ones--matt wagner, bryan talbot, tim sale, p craig russel, chris bachalo...

bought the criminal omnibus also. i spend too much money on comics

until 25.... no 30 something.... it was good.
Reborn has been meh but Bucky is not a great.
at all i havent been pleased with that. that broad shoulda never told him to put on the mask.
as a story teller... within the foundation of story telling... Brubaker is Brubaker no doubt.
but he feels himself a little too much.

since thats alot to read....u mind explaining that thing u said about redskull being caps son?

^^^isn't that the twist? red skull in ultimate avengers is cap's son? i haven't bought ultimate avengers because millar has disappointed me alot.

he sucks the majority of the time, even when the concepts are good...i'll avoid making a rant and just say i feel like his writing is dumbed down, same with matt fraction. it's all flash and spectacle with shitty plotting and thin characterization

he's another jeph loeb, the talent of the artists he works with tend to mask the shittiness of his writing. (granted, he's far superior to loeb)

the art in psylocke looks sick. also the art grew on me for ultimate comics spider-man lol

i completely missed the ULTIMATE part of ur post..lmao sorry, ya i guess..wouldnt kno..but i just read reborn, and wtf.

hopefully sega doesnt make it suck and they have a couple of years to make the game

i thought the art in psylocke was ok, but not really a good fit...she never looks asian at all and while i appreicate the artist trying to use unique angles, alot of time the figure work and composition looks awkward as fuck...and the story isn't really interesting imo...does every psylocke solo story have to revolve around matsuo, body swapping and her convoluted back story?

i thought reborn #4 was good...some of the technobabble was really unnecessary and seemed out of context for a cap book though.

^ so is Psylocke worth buying? you make it sound like a no

also to KZA, those games have a lot of potential if done right, especially Thor IMO

motion comics up on hulu for spider-woman and astonishing x-men


http://www.hulu.com/spider-woman-agent-of-sword

http://www.hulu.com/watch/106671/ast...e-1#s-p1-so-i0

mua 2 dlc is up too..

hulk and iron man were ok but they really need to step it up since arkham asylum did good

finally got DP 900, and i enjoyed it...but wtf...Team Up was terrible. he really called it when he went to kill his fans in that story baker did the art for up in 900 eloels. widening gyre sucked...astonishing was ok, i hate when they do motion blurs digitally in comics...astonishing has bene using that shit to death as of late.

^^^ya plus the plot is flimsy as hell, c'mon ellis... the 'weaponized dead mutant' angle is already being used in x-force, and taking the majority of the issue to fight the bio-sentinel is just lazy and boring

jiminez's art sho nuff is pretty though
