There was a HUGE secret revealed in May 25, 2016’s released Captain America #1 by Marvel Comics. We won’t spoil it for you here but if you have something to say about it please feel free to vent in the comments section below. If you’ve seen the spoiler odds are you’ll want to say something about it. More will be coming later on upcoming GonnaGeek.com podcasts so check out our live feeds and published podcasts coming up in the next week for more information.
I think it might be the worse idea for a story I’ve seen in all my years of reading comics. But I’m a huge Nick Spencer fan, the writer, as he is resposible for the Superior Foes of Spider-Man and The Fix from Image, both fantastic stories. Marvel wouldn’t let Nick make a change this huge unless there was a great story to back it. In my Marvel Zombie heart I think it’s the worse idea I’ve seen slapped on Captain America in all his days. But he’s been dead, and a time traveller, and a Nazi mind control victim, and Bucky became the Winter Soldier, and Cap was a werewolf…so I think I’ll wait until I read the full story to see how I feel about it. Fingers crossed Nick pulls off a fantastic story.
Update – I read the first issue. It’s interesting…and I added it to my pull list. So just for that alone I think Nick Spencer wins. He made me add a Steve Rogers book to my monthly list which I don’t think I’ve ever done before.
