colonel_greenWell, it's been a while. I could say I'd been doing something productive the last few months instead of posting here, but that would be mostly inaccurate. Anyhoo, four scans apiece from Captain America #618, by Ed Brubaker, Butch Guice, and Chris Samnee, and Wolverine #9, by Jason Aaron and Daniel Acuna.
( In Soviet Russia... )

schmevil[Yes I know, I'm a day behind. I just spent the weekend at FanExpo with mad so you'll have to forgive me and my tardiness. FUCK YEAH ED BRUBAKER!]
Right now, my favourite comics writer is Ed Brubaker. (This might change tomorrow. I'm indecisive like that).
Brubaker's been tapped to do a surprising amount of reinvention work for the big two. He brought back Bucky Barnes as the Winter Solider, and killed Steve Rogers to explore his absence. He helped give Selina Kyle new direction back at the start of Catwoman volume two. He collaborated with Matt Fraction to revitalize Iron Fist.
These are all great series that play to his strengths as a writer: noir and 'street level' stories. His less successful big two books (*cough* X-Men *cough*) see him trying to write more traditional superhero stories. What Bru excels at: themes of betrayal, rediscovery and redemption; tight plotting, reveals, character work, brutal action sequences.
You can see him at his best in Criminal, Incognito, and Sleeper. (Or so I'm told. Haven't yet read Sleeper myself). Criminal and Incognito pair him with Sean Phillips, and imho these two were made for each other. These books are seamless - Phillps' gorgeously muddy pencils are the perfect compliment to Brubaker's harboiled neo-noir (Criminal), and his noir-pulp identity porn mashups (Incognito). I kind of want them to work together forever and ever, amen.
His work with Steve Epting on Captain America, and Darwyn Cooke and Mike Allerd on Catwoman, is also good, and whoever put together these creative teams deserves a hug. Because shit son, this is comics: just words and pictures, working towards the same storytelling goal.

More casting announcements for the 2011 Captain America: The First Avenger (apparently they've switched the parts of the title around, which I think works a lot better).
Reborn Concluded
Jan. 27th, 2010 02:32 pmcolonel_greenFour pages from Captain America: Reborn #6, which, while obviously not going to surprise anyone (not, I suppose, that it particularly would have anyway), is still good action, and has some hints at future stories.

Spoilerific!
Nov. 19th, 2009 05:52 pmcolonel_green
Once upon a time, Marvel decided to commission an epilogue to Captain America: Reborn that would establish the new status quo and position the characters for both the future of their title and for Siege. In December, twas to be released. Then Reborn expanded to six issues, with the last of these coming out in January. However, all scheduling has contrived to necessitate some kind of preamble to Siege, hence, the epilogue is still coming out on the 16th. So, while you could undoubtedly guess the broad strokes of how Reborn will end from what's been talked up, this is stil a bit of an annoyance.
Anyhoo, some pages of preview art from Captain America: Who Will Wield The Shield?
