CAPTAIN AMERICA CORPS #4 (of 5)
Written by ROGER STERN
Penciled by PHILIPPE BRIONES
Cover by PHIL JIMENEZ
The time-lost patriots of the Captain America Corps must recruit the surviving heroes -- and villains! -- of the Marvel Universe to wage war against the diabolical AmeriCommand. Daredevil, the Punisher, Nick Fury, Luke Cage, the Beast, Misty Knight, Wyatt Wingfoot, the Falcon, Tigra, Electro, and the Amazing Spider-Man join the Corps in an all-out "Assault on Valhalla!" Secrets stand revealed, in battle joined -- by Roger Stern (DOCTOR STRANGE: INTO THE DARK DIMENSION) and Phillipe Briones (SPIDER-MAN: THE OSBORN IDENTITY).
32 PGS./Rated T+ ...$2.99 

While Shannon wasn't my favorite MC2 character (that there goes to Bluestreak) I'll be readily buying this series to show some MC2 support. Oddly I'm interested in seeing more of Commander A (alternate universe 25th century Cap who is of mixed descent).  

Edit: I suppose I should also point out that issue 1 of the mini comes out tomorrow. And Shannon is there in the mini from the start so I'd suggest picking it up if you want to see some of her.

I liked Shannon a lot. This actually has me intrigued.

[freezer]

I'm wondering if they'll fess up and admit that Steve is Shannon's father?

[pyrotwilight]

I'd rather they didn't. It's been brought up already that he isn't. Though they did fudge that up in the last Spectacular Spider-girl mini.

Yeah and Helena Kyle's dad isn't Bruce Wayne. #irejectyourreality

"I'd rather they didn't. It's been brought up already that he isn't."

I know right? I kind of like the fact that she's not related to Steve and still chose to follow in his footsteps, that she was inspired by him and her aunt Sharon. Plus there's that whole "Anyone can be Captain America if they put their heart to it" message that I've seen in a lot of Cap stories, and her being his daughter kind of takes a bit from it.

Though they did fudge that up in the last Spectacular Spider-girl mini.

Augh really? What did they say?

[pyrotwilight]

In the first issue of the mini their was a page before the backup during the gangwar going on that introduced American Dream. It was apparently written by Marvel editor Tom Brevoort. In it he says this about American Dream.

"Next month, the Buzz stops by, but in just a scant few pages, meet Captain America's daughter, AMERICAN DREAM!"

Which on my first read-through made me sit there dumb founded.

Least it wasn't in the actual story pages that it was said. Presumably Mr. Brevoort just doesn't know his MC2.

[mullon]

It really looks like Captain America glued a wig to the back of his head.

[crinos]

Yeah, I mean without the hair I couldn't tell them apart, what with Cap's trademark modest B cup and all.

[pyrotwilight]

Or her disk shooting wrist launchers.

[mistervader]

Please don't mention Caps and boobs in the same sentence, or else we'll be subjected to that Liefeld "artwork" again.

[crinos]

I'd hesitate to call THAT a modest ANYTHING, but point taken.

[goattoucher]

That image will make you believe in god, if only so you can call it an Abomination to the Lord.

[20thcenturyvole]

I don't know, the package was downright puny in proportion to his mighty DD pecs.

[darkblade]

Wait the Punisher? Because the last time Frank worked with Steve went so well...

[evilsneak]

Has Stern explained why Patriot wasn't included in the Captain America Corps?

[schala_kid]

Nope, but I'm guessing they went with characters that have been Cap in some form or another. Or maybe it's because Marvel leaves all the YA related stuff to Heinberg most of the time.

But I myself would have loved to see Eli join up with the Captain Americorps, I would like to have seen him team up with Bucky, Shannon and hang out with the younger Steve.

I got to cop to it...

I am a SUCKER for alternate histories, universes, and what-if stories. I saw ST:TOS's "The City of the Edge of Forever" back in the 1960's, and it so caught my imagination that it fit me for life for "For Want of a Nail"-type stores, and futurism, both utopian and dystopian. "Days of Future Past" knocked me out. And M2 was also a guilty pleasure. "Spider-girl" did it best, but I there was is still a place in my heart for Shannon, and Commander A, too.....bring it on!
