Last month’s Captain America :Steve Rogers #1 caused an uproar when it purported to reveal that Cap is actually a Hydra agent and has been since his mom was recruited into the racist organization back in the WWII day. While the transience of comic book storylines and shocking character changes is so common is to […]
It's a big week for comics news! While Rebirth has been grabbing a lot of headlines, Marvel has made its own noise with a SHOCKING TWIST FOR A BELOVED CHARACTER. Nothing will be the same ever again!
This spoiler involves Captain America and the comic book CAPTAIN AMERICA STEVE ROGERS #1, on sale today. And here it is!

Because I get to do what I want, I'm going to post awesome clips/pictures of my favourite scenes from each of the MCU movies. (Since Ant-Man appeared in Civil War, he is added to the roster.)
Technically, Captain America should be the first of the films to watch, but I'm going to treat it as a "flashback" movie and stick it before the Avengers, because when Cap wakes up, a lot of the events in the first two Iron Man movies, the Hulk, and Thor have already taken place.
(Because I tend to love ALL the scenes from the movies, I'll limit myself to a total of five per movie - I'll aim for three, but I can go up to five. Does that seem fair? Thank you s' much.)
Iron Man 1:
When he's freakin' blacksmithing in captivity!!!
Since I've already fangirled over the part when Yinsen saves Tony, I'm not going to post that. Instead, I'll skip forward to the entire Gulmira scene, where Tony takes out a fleet of bad guys.
This scene, where Pepper has to replace the Arc Reactor...
When Dummy saves Tony...
When his arc reactor flickers back on after Pepper calls his name...
When he tries to be sweet and brings Pepper
strawberries, forgetting she's allergic to them.
When he rediscovers the Vibranium element that will not only make his
arc reactor more powerful, but will also stop it from poisoning him...
When Pepper finds out he was dying...
Tony and Rhodey's Bro Battle against the Hammer-Drones. :)
The Incredible Hulk:(I have only watched The Incredible Hulk once, and this was after I'd seen The Avengers and had embraced
Mark Ruffalo in the role of the Hulk. So, I didn't much care for Ed Norton as the Hulk, but he had some cute vulnerable scenes, and the movie overall had some good parts.)
The way he tries to control his blood pressure, so he doesn't go critical...
This pretty epic chase scene...
And that's really about it. (It wasn't my most favouritest Marvel movie in the whole wide world.)
Thor:When Darcy Tazes Thor...
This entire scene. :)
When Thor breaks the Bifrost to stop Loki from destroying Jotunheim...
Captain America: The First Avenger:When Steve Rogers leaps on that grenade!!!
When Steve gives zero cares about orders and goes on an op
that saves hundreds of POWs - including Bucky...
This scene after he loses Bucky and he's trying to get drunk...
When he gives zero cares about Red Skull...
When he has to put the ship in the water. :(
The Avengers:Ugh!
There are too many good scenes in the Avengers! I'll do my best to only choose five of the best... even though I could pretty much post the entire movie and say, "I loved it all!"
But the best scenes, IMHO:When this old man refused to kneel to Loki...
When Natasha "re-calibrates" Hawkeye...
When Coulson DIES!!!
THIS SCENE!!!
When Tony flies the nuke into the portal...:'(
Iron Man 3:Every time Tony has a panic attack :(
This totally sweet scene...
When he loses Jarvis...
When he demonstrates some pretty sick moves in this fight...
When he saves Pepper and calls her "Honey." :)
Thor: The Dark World:Frigga's Funeral.
THIS SCENE! :)
Followed closely by THIS SCENE!!
Thor's grief at Loki's death...
THIS:
Captain America: The Winter Soldier:This start to a beautiful friendship...
Pretty much every time Steve speaks...
This entire fight scene, but especially that knife flip. :)
BUCKY! :(
This Steve epicness...
Avengers: Age of Ultron:Adorable Steve Rogers being adorable...
Tony, reminding me so much of myself here... :)
When Bruce and Natasha were suddenly PERFECT together...
Clint in this scene: "Nobody would know."
When Quicksilver saves Hawkeye...
Ant-Man:When Scott gets out of prison...
When he introduces himself to the Falcon...
When these guys come roaring to Scott's aid,
only to be faced with a phalanx of cops...
When he goes subatomic to save his daughter...
Captain America: Civil War: This movie had more scenes that broke my heart than probably any other MCU movie out there. I think it's because Steve and Tony are my GUYS, and having them angry at each other was the hardest thing in the world. Steve is the man who is already on the moral high ground and who we aspire to become, and Tony is the man who gives us the hope of attaining that moral high ground by conquering ourselves more and more each day. I couldn't stand to see them fighting.
So this is more a collection of favourite bro scenes/scenes that broke my heart (there are more pictures here because there were too many good ones NOT to post...):
This scene, when Tony and Steve were still BESTIES!! :(
Peggy's funeral...
When freakin' Zemo reactivates Bucky, and he goes on a rampage...
When lines are drawn...
"I'm trying to keep you from tearing the Avengers apart!"
"You did that when you signed."
Bucky not believing his worth...
THIS. FREAKING. SCENE. x-(
When Rhodey gets hurt...:(
When Steve and Bucky take cover behind the shield. :)
When Tony sees this footage...
Which understandably incenses him...
...Which leads to this awful scene, where Steve is forced to fight a friend to save a friend.
This very epic, but very heartbreaking moment...
And finally, the last scene, where hopefully the healing has
started and they can find a way back to their friendship.
And that's all for now, folks! I hope that put you back in the mood to rewatch all the Avengers movies (in order, of course!) and get totally caught up in the character development again.
Until next time, that's a wrap!
God bless!

So, today is Day Two of Bella's Civil War Blog Catastro-party, and today's the day I do
The Tag. (For those of you jumping aboard this blog party, details are
here, on Bella's blog.)
(Yes, it's a go for TeamGetAlong), I'm doing both tags.
So there.Team Iron Man 1.) What is your favorite Iron Man movie?Probably the first one, because that's the first one I saw and the one with the tightest plot. But I love all three Iron Man movies. I absolutely adore watching Tony's constant character development - he keeps growing and changing and becoming more vulnerable as time goes on, and the selfish persona he dons so effortlessly gets gradually more visible as the charade it is.
2.) When did you decide you loved Iron Man?In the first movie, after his friend Yinsen gets shot. Tony straightens up, and there is that absolutely terrible expression on his face, like someone is going to GET it.
3.) Do you tend to agree with Iron Man's thinking/logic?Um, I oftentimes see where he is coming from, but I wouldn't say I'd entirely agree with his logic. I feel like I'd become a Pepper Potts quite quickly - I would humour him and, when possible, make the appropriate decisions for him.
4.) What is one thing about Tony that drives you insane?His apparent inability to take a situation seriously. As time goes on, that does get a little less pronounced, but I would get angry if I told him he was making me anxious and he laughed at me.
5.) Do you think you'd like Tony in real life?That depends. I probably wouldn't like him upon a first meeting, I don't think, but once I got to know him and became comfortable with his sarcastic attitude, I think I'd be able to give back as much as he gave, and gently snub him when needed.
6.) Do you think you'd get along with Pepper Pots? What about Rhodey?I love Pepper. I love Rhodey. I think they are both great foils to Tony's character. I think I'd get along smashingly with them.
7.) Would you like to live in Stark Tower?Not unless there was an area I could turn into a den/library/hobbit hole. Otherwise, it's too sterile for me. It doesn't feel like a home. It feels like an office.
8.) Would you want to try out/own any of Iron Man's robots or fancy little gadgets?None of the big suits, that's for sure. I'd appreciate some of his gadgets, though. I would like one of his fancy-schmancy computers - I'd love to be able to manipulate simulations the way he does, and physically play with computer generated designs.
9.) What is your favorite Iron Man quote?That bit, after he finds Yinsen dying and Yinsen tells him his family his dead and he's going to go see them now, Tony just says, "Thank you for saving me." I love that line. To me, that's when he stopped being playboy Tony and started to become Iron Man.
10.) If Tony as he is now volunteered to take you to dinner and a movie, would you accept his invitation? Not a date, just a night out cause he knows you are soooooo stressed.Again, it depends on how well I know him. If I knew him well enough to be like, "That's enough wine for YOU, mister," and take the glass out of his hand, then maybe. But I think if I was someone he actually cared about, he would make a bit of an effort to be inoffensive. So, maybe.
Team Captain America1.) What is your favorite Captain America movie?The first one for sure. That's when Steve Rogers is just Steve Rogers, no-one special or unique, just a kid from Brooklyn with tons and tons of heart and spirit.
2.) When did you decide you loved Captain America?C'mon, you should know when... After he threw himself on that grenade.
3.) Do you tend to agree with Steve's thinking/logic?Steve is a pretty black-and-white kind of guy. He tries to do what's right and questions what he thinks is wrong. Plus, he seems a pretty moral guy, so I think I mostly agree with how his mind works.
4.) What is one thing about Steve that drives you insane?While I appreciate his stubbornness, I think that's the one thing that frustrates me most about him. He won't back down on things (Bucky, for example) and no matter what you say, he will focus on that issue to the point of obsession.
6.) What is something about Steve that you really admire?His selflessness. He will do anything for his friends.
7.) Do you think you would like Steve in real life?For sure! He's pretty much everything I like in a man - strong, protective, manly, gentle, subtly funny - plus, he's got that Brooklyn toughness about him.
8.) What do you think of Steve's motorcycle, and would you want a ride on it?I love his motorcycle. People that ride motorcycles are freakin' hawt. If it were Cap driving, yes, I'd ride on that bike.
9.) What was an iconic "STEVE FREAKIN' ROGERS" moment for you?Again, you know when that was... when he threw himself on that grenade.
10.) If Steve asked you on a date, would you accept?Yes.
And that's a wrap! Until next time,
God Bless!Le Cat

This was supposed to start May 10th, but first of all, Mother's Day. Second of all, Mother's Day withdrawal. Lastly, Mother's Day. So, my blog party participation started a day late, but whatever.
Before I begin, let me post the Blog Party rules:
- You must link back to Bella! No exceptions!
- You must tell Bella when you post so she can read your Civil War Wonders!!! (She even Pretty Pleases the request, so maybe give her a head's up.)
- You should follow her! (She Pretty Pleases this with ice cream on top, so yeah, give her a follow.)
- You shouldn't be mean to people who are on the opposite team! No being mean! There's nothing wrong with a little friendly banter and what not, but No. Being. Mean!!!!! Meanness is not allowed!
- You must absolutely must choose a side! (even if, in your humble opinion, there IS no side, just two stupid men who refuse to compromise a teensy bit in favour of maintaining friendship.) You don't have to feel guilty about this. This isn't about who you like better, (though that can obviously come into the equation.) This is just about who you would most likely join because you agree with them.
- You have to have fun! Have lots of fun!
(For participants, the list of what to do each day is available on this post of Bella's. Okay? Okay.) Day One is PICK A SIDE (even if you don't feel that there is a side - just two stupid men unwilling to compromise a little in the name of friendship).
Here's my problem. Iron Man and Captain America are my TWO FAVOURITE AVENGERS. The stupid thing about Civil War, it pitted my TWO FAVOURITE AVENGERS against each other.
I admit to being more of an Iron Man fan. His was the first actual Avenger movie I saw, and I fell in love with his character arc. The first Iron Man movie was probably the best, but in every single one of his movies, as well as the Avenger movies, he always has this character arc that I ADORE. So I loved him, and was prepared for Civil War, being Cap's movie, to be skewed in favour of Cap and I was bracing myself against an onslaught of Iron Man hate.
That was not the case. I was surprised at how even the "sides" were.
Thank you, Marvel, for giving us a perfectly balanced, incredibly clear look at two sides that are equally wrong and equally right.
Even still, I probably ended up agreeing more with Tony.
I totally get both sides. For Steve, he has this Brooklyn tough guy attitude that absolutely will not lie down and let the bad guys beat on the small guys. He has to step in and DO SOMETHING, even if that something may be a little outside the boundaries of the law. He has to DO SOMETHING, and I love that about him. In this case, his DO SOMETHING attitude ended with Wanda, the Scarlet Witch, saving his life, but accidentally killing dozens of people in the process. So to have the governments all siding against the Avengers and demanding they be kept in check - I didn't really blame the governments, but I didn't like the idea.
"While a great many people see you as a hero, there are some who prefer the word vigilante. You've operated with unlimited power and no supervision. That's something the world can no longer tolerate." - General Thaddeus Ross I don't blame Steve for not wanting to sign the Accords.
 |
"Our job is to save as many people as we can.
Sometimes that doesn't mean everybody." |
However, and I say this with total and complete understanding, if it weren't for Bucky, I don't think the Civil War would have happened. Whenever Steve hears the name "Bucky," he loses all perspective, and I get that. I do. For him, it's only been something like five years since he thought Bucky died, and only about two years that he's known Bucky is alive, but still lost in the persona of the Winter Soldier, and that grief and loss is still sharp. He wants to save Bucky so badly, and he will do anything it takes to do so, even if it means splitting the Avengers apart.
"You know I wouldn't do this if I had any other choice. But he's my friend." - Steve Rogers
In my opinion, Steve was willing to risk everything to save Bucky, and I love that, but if you look at the repercussions, this could cause some serious international incidents. I mean, he goes into a foreign country, dressed as the obviously American superhero
, to protect a suspected terrorist responsible for the death of Wakanda's king. That's some serious crap."He said 'Bucky' and suddenly I was that 16-year-old boy from Brooklyn again." - Steve Rogers
So, at first I kind of agreed with Steve. I wouldn't want to sign the Accords. I wouldn't want the government telling who I can or cannot save. "What if this Panel sends us somewhere we don't think we should go? What if there's somewhere we need to go and they don't let us?" - Steve RogersBUT...
Let's take a look at Tony's side.
First off, we see him struggling with guilt over the death of his parents, that he didn't properly say goodbye to them before they were gone forever. Right after that, he is confronted by a woman who blames him for the death of her son, when the Avengers were trying to stop Ultron in Sokovia and pretty much decimated that city. Directly after that, all the active Avengers are called into a meeting with the Secretary of State, who shows them a film chronicling all the casualties of the wars they've fought, which hits everyone pretty hard. The Secretary then proceeds to lay down the law - either the Avengers agree to sign the Accords, which will put them under the supervision of a governmental panel, or they retire. Tony suspects that if they don't sign now, they will be forced into an Accord that will give them zero ability to assist people. (Plus, he's also got the guilt of the Sokovian boy weighing on him, and I think that played into his distrust of himself - the fact that he feels there needs to be someone the Avengers are accountable to.)
"Oh, that's Charles Spencer, by the way. He's a great kid. Computer engineering degree. 3.6 GPA... He decided to spend his summer building sustainable housing for the poor. Guess where? Sokovia. He wanted to make a difference, I suppose. I mean, we won't know because we DROPPED a building on him while we were KICKING ASS... There's no decision-making process here." - Tony Stark
 |
"We need to be put in check.
Whatever form that takes, I'm game." |
Through the whole movie, I kept swaying back and forth between Steve's point of view, and Tony's. They were both acting in the way their consciences dictated, so neither of them was at fault. However, there did come a point where it seemed that Tony was more focused on keeping the Avengers safe, keeping them together despite the Accords, keeping the team alive while appeasing the governmental powers, and Steve was entirely focused on saving Bucky and no-one but Bucky.
That's when I sided with Tony.
He wanted to save his team. He didn't want any of them to be forced to "retire." He wanted to protect everyone, and if that meant bowing to the will of the Accords, he was going to (and this is a man who doesn't bow to anyone). I think if it had just been a matter of the Accords, the trust and friendship between both sides would never have been questioned. It was the way everything escalated, building off one set of incidents, which led to another, and to another, until finally it was no longer just a difference of opinion and conscience, but complete disregard for the law and a duty to uphold the law, even at the cost of friendships.
"If we can't accept limitations, we're no better than the bad guys." - Tony Stark
I liked how Steve did his best to solve the Bucky problem on his own, only assembling his team when the only other choice was to admit defeat and sacrifice his best friend. But I hated that he turned on Tony to do so.
I liked how Tony did his best to protect Steve from the repercussions of the law, and how he tried to protect the entire Avengers crew, even at the cost of coming off as arrogant and self-serving. But I hated that he lost Steve's friendship to do so.
So I guess I'm Team Iron Man, because everything Tony did was to try and assure a better outcome for his team. He kept Wanda housebound, not only to protect the world from her, but also to protect her from people who would see her as a threat.
"She's confined in a compound currently - She's not a US Citizen and they don't grant visas to Weapons of Mass Destruction." - Tony Stark
He tried to keep Steve safe, to talk the Secretary of State into overlooking Steve's few misdeeds which occurred after the signing of the Accords. He even tried to assure a better future for Bucky, despite all Bucky's crimes done as the Winter Soldier. (Yes, I know he was brainwashed and he wasn't himself, nonetheless, as Bucky himself said, "But I did them.")
"We need you, Cap. Until nothing further happens that can't be undone, please... sign. We can make the last 24 hours legit. Barnes gets transferred to an American psych center instead of a Wakanda prison." - Tony Stark
When it was discovered that Bucky had been framed for the Wakandan King's death, it was Tony who admitted he had been wrong in believing Bucky was the terrorist, and tried to make peace with Steve. And it probably would have all been smoothed over then, if it hadn't been for a certain video (played by the movie's antagonist intent on destroying the Avengers from the inside out), which shows Tony's parents getting killed by the Winter Soldier, thus destroying all attempts at peace.
 |
(I'll be honest - I totally understood Tony's reaction.
Watching Bucky kill his parents - that had to hurt.) |
I REALLY REALLY REALLY wanted this movie to end with friendships restored, and while it didn't exactly end the way I wanted it to, at least it left it open enough to show there was some healing going on, and that eventually friendships would be resurrected and mended. (At least, they'd better be, Marvel!) I still wouldn't say there was a Team Captain America or Team Iron Man. Both Tony and Steve had totally valid points as to why they would or wouldn't sign. But all in all, I think Tony's actions were more what I would follow. I don't know if I'd be willing to step outside the law to save someone who has been an assassin for years, no matter how much Captain America believed in him. I think I'd rather side with Tony and try to protect my team at all costs - even if it meant giving up some freedom of action.
And that's a wrap! I'll do my best to do Day 2 tomorrow, but depending on how busy I am, that may or may not happen. Until next time...
God bless!

Last night something totally unprecedented in human history occurred: there were infomercials for upcoming superhero projects on two different networks, with Marvel's Marvel’s Captain America: 75 Heroic Years taking up a FULL HOUR before the season premiere of Agent Carter on Disney-owned ABC. (An hour later two special son various DC-themed movie and TV properties aired on the CW but we'll get to that in a bit.)

After Easter and the jury duty kerfuffle...
... I got a rejection on a query I sent to an agent about a month before. Technically, she never responded to the query, which per the guidelines basically meant the same thing.
No reply, no acceptance. But that's okay. I dusted off my poor weeping query, gave it a little spruce up and sent it bravely back into the
big wide world of agents. I may have whispered a
prayer to send it on its way.
Then I had a wedding I went to, last week of April/beginning of May, wherein my sister
Amanda (keeper of the blog,
Hit and Miss) designed
floral arrangements for the altar, and we cleaned
bucketloads of
roses,
carnations,
baby's breath and
greens and I made
15 centerpieces in glass milk jars for the reception.
Speaking of which, I don't think I want to go to weddings anymore. Waaaaaay too many people!
Way too many people I don't know, and way too many random people wanting to talk to me.
Then we got BACK from the wedding
and the weather has been liek dis:
And liek dis:
 |
| *snarf, grumble, grouch |
It hasn't been NICE. It has been the opposite. It has been DARK. My mood goeth downhill.Directly after getting back, we were into Mother's Day week. Which made the flower shop a crazy busy place. Which meant yours truly got to work a six-day work week, after a weekend filled with flower arrangements and wedding feels and socializing.
Socializing, for me, can be physically more draining and damaging than a solid week's work, so piling MOTHER'S DAY WEEK on top of that was... was...
Sorry, words fail.
However, good news. Before driving back from the wedding in Bakersfield, we stopped at Target and all four of us who had attended the wedding picked up copies of the
Target Edition of Josh Groban's STAGES, which contains 17 tracks and are all of them amazing.
Josh has this superpower that never fails to make me marvel at how PERFECTLY he sings.
IMHO, he sings the only acceptable version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow.
Speaking of
Superheroes and Marvel, I also watched the first two episodes of
Daredevil on Netflix during that wedding weekend, so when I got
back from the wedding I proceeded to watch the other 11 episodes.
Matt Murdoch is the best! I refuse to say anything, because, as Yoda say, "If Netflix you have, Daredevil you should be watching." Seriously, he's a new favourite Marvel superhero. He is so amazing and cool! Unfortunately, now that I'm done with those 13 episode, the next season won't be up until
2016! Netflix, why? Why? Whyyyyy?
Then I saw Age of Ultron.
All I'm going to say about THIS is, OH MY GOSH! HAWKEYE!! TONYSTEVETHOR! QUICKSIIIIIILVER! JARVISJARVISJARVIS!! And never, ever, ever have I let a ship sink as fast as I let Black Widow's and Hawkeye's. I was surprisingly okay with it. I waved a hand and thought, I don't mind Natasha and Clint being friends.
After this,
Teresa and
Jack and I started watching Harry Potter. I have never really watched Harry Potter.
I had read up to the fourth book (which *
I* thought was horrifying) and then watched the fourth movie which, IMHO, did NOT live up to the fourth books horrifyingness (which is not a word, but I don't care. I'm a writer. I do what I want).
Frankly, the fourth movie rather bored me, so I gave up on the series.Then, I dunno, after the final book had been published and was no longer talked about, I thought I might as well finish the book series, and while I thought J.K. Rowling did a fine job with writing, I wasn't entirely sold on the series. I don't know why. I just wasn't a fan.
So I have had no urge to watch the movies until after Valentine's Day, when after a long grueling day at work I came home, ate something fortifying and turned on the TV, and discovered The Chamber of Secrets was playing. Having nothing better to do, I watched it.
Since then, I've been off again, on again wanting to watch them, and we started our sporadic marathon about two weeks ago. While the first four were nothing special (for me, anyway - and btw, the fourth movie is NOT as boring as I remembered it being. Perhaps one needs to have been away from books and movies for a significant amount of time or something), we just finished Deathly Hallows part 1, and I'll admit the 5th, 6th and 7-1/2th movies engaged me more and made me feel a bit more connected to the characters. (Though, and I'm speaking from my experience of having read the books YEARS ago, I am pretty certain the scriptwriters could have clarified Harry as being The Chosen One. That shtick sort of makes an appearance in the Half Blood Prince, and while I *think* it was clear in the book, it was NOT AT ALL CLEAR in the movie(s), and I honestly can't remember how or why or who or when Harry became this Chosen One or even what it has to do with the plot.)
I don't think I'm still (yet) techinically a fan. I haven't entirely finished the series, after all. Deathly Hallows part 2 will possibly (probably) happen tonight, but now that I've watched the movies I can see
why people have become fans. I will be honest even more and state that I do have a bad tendency to quote HISHE or Honest Trailer lines during crucial moments of the movies (such as, Wizzzzard lightning battle! or, Look out, Harry, he doesn't have a nose!, or, "Just saving your life. And countless others. In the future. It's a long story.") But overall, my favorite characters are Snape, Professor McGonagall, George and Fred, and Harry. I like Ron and Hermione, but those first five are my favorites.
Lastly, to bring my month to a close, the query I'd dusted off and sent back out came back with a request for the agent to see the full manuscript.
So I sent the full manuscript to the agent, and now I must wait
up to 60 days to see what she thinks. It's a bit torturous, but she was nice enough to admit that it was torturous, which was good to hear.
Empathy, empathy. So all I can do now is pray... and hope... and pray... and, you know, hope.
So, that's been my month! I hope yours has been just as exciting and eventful as mine, albeit less gloomy. *Rain, rain, go away, come again some OTHER day.*
Until next month...
Cat! :)

The mystery behind what Marvel was planning with their Planet Hulk teaser has just been officially revealed with a comic entitled…Planet Hulk! The tale features the creative team of Sam Humphries on writing and Marc Laming on art, who are chronicling the new adventures of Hulk, Steve Rogers, and Devil Dinosaur during the upcoming Secret Wars crossover. CBR broke the news and ran an exclusive interview with Jack Kirby creation Devil Dinosaur on the inception of the brand new series–Yes, you read that sentence correctly.
The Dino was interviewed in place of author Sam Humphries, who took a vacation to New Attilan. Fans can look for Planet Hulk in May, and take note that this series falls under the Warzones! banner of Secret Wars.
“RAAAAAAUGH!! The scent of blood burns my nostrils,” said Devil Dinosaur to CBR. “The Captain and I are far, far from the colosseum. The colosseum of battle, and death. The colosseum where we are warbound. “May he who dies, die well.” But death follows us to Greenland. This is a place where we HUNT. We hunt the RED KING!”
This crossover bodes well for the company, as Marvel is continuing to take advantage of some really quirky ideas for tie-ins including the Garth Ennis project announced earlier this week. Where Monsters Dwell mixes World War I with more Dinosaurs. This week’s new Marvel announcements contain all the dinos that we could possibly ask for.
It seems that the extinct animal is hunting for Steve Rogers who appears to be caught in his crosshairs:
“ROOOOOAWL! The Captain and I are WARBOUND. We fight in the coliseum. Every day, the Captain’s mighty axe, bathed in blood. From different lands, yet we are brothers. Brothers in battle. I will kill all who fight the Captain! I will smash their skulls in my TEETH. I will rend their flesh in my CLAWS! They will know THE FURY OF DEVIL DINOSAUR!!”
Finally, lets give the creature a hand for some extraordinary etiquette in the manner in which the Devil Dinosaur signs out his emails:
ALL HULK FALL UNDER OUR RAGE!!!
If you have any follow up questions, I will be happy to address.
Many thanks and have a great day.

Last month’s Captain America :Steve Rogers #1 caused an uproar when it purported to reveal that Cap is actually a Hydra agent and has been since his mom was recruited into the racist organization back in the WWII day. While the transience of comic book storylines and shocking character changes is so common is to […]
It's a big week for comics news! While Rebirth has been grabbing a lot of headlines, Marvel has made its own noise with a SHOCKING TWIST FOR A BELOVED CHARACTER. Nothing will be the same ever again!
This spoiler involves Captain America and the comic book CAPTAIN AMERICA STEVE ROGERS #1, on sale today. And here it is!
It’s true. I still hate Marvel.
Is there some way to see the white text on a mobile version of the site? There’s no ‘mousing over’ for that.
It says this…”Captain America: Steve Rogers #2, from the creative team of writer Nick Spencer and artist Jesus Saiz, reveals that Steve’s memories of indoctrination were implanted by Kobik, the sentient Cosmic Cube who became a girl. Not only that, but Kobik has been under the influence of Steve Rogers’ most fearsome archenemies, the Red Skull, for months.”
Marvel has just gone from “The House of Ideas” to “The Casa of Crap”…
Copy the text and then paste it elsewhere – in a note, or draft of a comment…
Thanks!
Well, I expected as much which is why I never got the reaction to it. I hate being all “these people didn’t read the comic/don’t read comics” but it’s such an obvious issue #1 and Marvel cliffhanger play that of course it’d be revealed if not in issue 2 at least 4 what’s really going on. All of that makes me think it’s now even more in poor tase mainly because Spencer and Co. did such a bad job convincingly lying about it.
Maybe the problem is not the creators or the editors but the legion of “fans” and “journalists” that overanalyze and ruin everything on the internet. You know what’s kinda fun? Just reading comics. With no one else’s commentary. The internet appears to be full of those three annoying guys at the comic shop that I hated so much as a kid. They had opinions on everything, ruined everything, and never fucking left.
I hope that was worth all the trivializing of Jewish people for.
If this is the best story they could come up with, it’s no wonder comic sales are awful.
Oop, you got a sentence ending in a preposition there.
I hope that trivializing of Jewish people was for all the worth.
There we go. Err, wait- … Worth all of which- No… Cause it’s the Jewish’s worth…
Well, the content of the spoiler was exactly the theory that some fans had already posited. It doesn’t come as a surprise, really.
