CRAP!!!  The whole plot to Capatain America #25 was spoiled on CNN HEADLINE NEWS.  It wasn’t a spoiler to me since I’ve known for awhile but whatever you do DON’T WATCH THE NEWS!

until you get your funny books.

xavior

It’s on CNN, the front of Yahoo and USA Today.  I hate it when Marvel screws the fans like this.  It’s great coverage for them but really smurfin it up for the rest of us.

Bastards!

True… but you already knew about it.

I got spoiled on Yahoo.

Thanks a lot.

Stupid Marvel

I know but that doesn’t mean I want it spoiled for everyone else.  To me, this cheapens the whole affair.  It would be like Yahoo printing “She’s a dude” the day the Crying Game came out.  The people that didn’t know now have a great moment ruined for them.  Same thing happened with Spider-Man being unmasked.

What?!  Spidey’s a dude?

It came a surprise to us all...or would have if Yahoo and CNN didn’t ruin it.

Yeah I hate it when the newpaper dailies break a story like it’s actually real world news, considering thr product itself can’t be obtained for another3-4 hours (and that’s EST...porr Caliland).

I DO like it when the mainstream talks about our industry like it matters though, because it does.  It’s a profitable industry that a lot of work goes into and it deserves a lot of the same respect that other avenues of print entertainment or even video entertainment.

anyway here’s the cnn link if anyone wants to read it.

BTW if you haven’t been reading Ed B.’s run on Cap you are missing out on MAGIC!

I just called Evil Squirrel to get a copy held for me, and he already sold out.  Crap.

Just go to CNN to read it. :-)

Zeus might have a copy left.

How many hot guys in jockstraps deliver your books when you order directly from Zeus?

...and I have no self-restraint, so I read the spoilers already.  Damn me!

As many as you can shake a shield at!

This morning, I opened the newspaper, “Comic hero, foe of Hitler, assassinated by sniper.” I turned on the news, “Captain America has been killed off. The co-creator of the iconic superhero is disappointed at the turn of events and says ‘The world needs Captain America.’”

Then I went, “What!? Captain America’s dead!?!”

Though in all seriousness, I didn’t see it coming. When Civil War started, I knew he didn’t stand a change against Tony Stark and his millions (though I’m surprised that Stark lasted this long with his healthy alcoholic liver), but I didn’t think they’d kill him off. I should probably get the current issue to actually read how it went down. All I’ve seen are scans of one page.

And that’s all I have to say about that.

I would recomondate that you read it from issue 1 at some point.  Brubaker has crafted a great premise and story with lots of twists and turns.  Issue 25 does stand on it’s own well but it’ll make you curious as to why this guy is around and why this chick does this and why that guy looks like that. 

It’s the best cap run since Waid (yeah i said Waid) and Garney’s run before Onslaught.

IT’S SELLING FOR OVER $100.00 ON EBAY!  WHY didn’t I buy more than one copy?  I’m such a dumbass!
