In the Great Exodus from Livejournal to our current homeland, many a precious memory was lost; among them, the entirety of the "The Death of Captain America" mega-arc.  Since that was probably the most widely-publicized comics storyline of the decade, not to mention one of the best, I decided to get around to reposting the thing for posterity.


Material taken from Captain America v.5 #22-25.

Paul Cornell's posted some preview art from the Captain Britain and MI-13 annual over on Livejournal, by Adrian Alphona and Christina Strain which I just had to share here, since I know Adrian has a following. And, frankly, because it's bloody gorgeous.

In the recent Savage She-Hulk #2, Marvel thoughtfully included a reprint of an old Claremont/Davis She-Hulk short story. While you can make some arguments about when the top of Claremont's game was - and make no mistake, there was a point in time where, as far as mainstream superhero books go, he was the best - this is top-of-game-adjacent at the very least. He always seemed to have a lot of fun with She-Hulk and her job as a lawyer, and worked her in as a cameo with reasonable frequency.

I'm not sure where this originally appeared. I want to say it's from the late eighties, which would make it fairly likely that this is from the short-lived Solo Avengers book.

Am I the only one who feels increasingly uncomfortable with Will Eisner's later work? THE SPIRIT ended in 1952, but of course Eisner went on to create a lot more. A CONTRACT WITH GOD, LIFE ON ANOTHER PLANET, THE DREAMER, much more. I've read some of this material and the writing is excellent in every way, but the art bothers me. Everyone seems to be in so much pain. Faces are sagging, mouths puckered in grief, bodies seem ready to break under their own weight. There is a lot of unnecessary drool and faces covered with what seems too thick to be just sweat, as if the people are starting to fall apart. Maybe the necessity of featuring the conventional figure of the Spirit (and his cast) in earlier stories meant Eisner was required to tone this trait down. There's a lot of suffering (both physical and emtional) in the Spirit stories but having a continuing character meant there had to be some healing and recovery, as well. The frequent whimsy and playfulness seemed to vanish with the Spirit.

This looks like a promising series, especially if you're a book nerd (like I am). The first issue is only $1 for 32 pages, so it's worth the look!
