1 It's like Hollywood with pitchers.

2 Uh, is this a joke?  I honestly can't tell.

3

The black character asks the out of costume Captain, “What the hell is this?” And follows that with, “looks like some kind of anti-tax protest.” The Falcon character then snidely tells his partner the Captain, “So I guess this whole ‘hate the government’ vibe around here isn’t limited to the Watchdogs.”

It is sad when even comic books have been converted to snivling PC liberal propaganda.  Another old American tradition turned to shit.

4

Big Hollywood sez the movie should be good -- not all stuck on stupid like the comics. From what I've heard so far it'll have more of an Iron Man-type vibe.

No linky 'cause I'm at work and lazy.

5 Which limey asshole is writing Captain America this time? IIRC, I think it was that 'tard (forgive me) Millar who drew a parallel between Dresden and Iraq.

6 Oh come on, comics writers are almost hard Lefties to a fault.  Look at Marvel's "Civil War" or DC's "Amazon's Attack" for more lengthy examples.

One of the seminal works in modern comics, The Dark Knight Returns is full of potshots at Reagan.

It's a wonder that Capt. America, the character, still exists.  I don't know how they manage to write Iron Man.

7 or maybe it was Dresden and 9-11...either way, it was sickening.

shit has been going on since the 70's (the major ones at least).

Sad part is that so far it didn't even fit into the storyline, it just pops up

9 The racist meme is something the Left had to invent to disparage the same kind of protesting of the government that they'd been lionizing for the last eight years.

10 I freely admit to hating this government, i.e. the Odumbass administration. Subversive tactics are only a fraction of my reasons.

11 The man built up as the ultimate hero against national socialism, now reduced to a shill for government determinism in the United States. How far we've fallen? Can we even see the way out of the hole now?

12 Hell, Capt. America's original sidekick became, I kid you not, Winter Solider. 

13 Why is Captain America bringing his butler on missions?

14

It sounds sorta like this.

15

Captain America in the mainstream Marvel Universe is pretty much used as a way for the writers to forward their political ideas (being progressive pussies)

However, the Ultimate Universe version of Captain America is a patriotic bad-ass:

http://alturl.com/y7t4

http://alturl.com/gjyk

16 Fuck Marvel. Captain America is MINE.

17

Captain America says: That set of those who like fiscal responsibility and a limited role for the State is a subset of the set of white people. This is logically equivalent to the statement: that all nonwhite people prefer for the government to remain insolvent and intrusive, as long as nonwhites get theirs.

It's not the first time I've seen that assertion, but it's usually a different sort of publication which makes it.

18 Longtime Marvel reader here, and I've been reading Brubaker's run from the start.  It's actually been very, very good. (I mean, he brought back Bucky, for crying out loud! And made it work!)

But after reading this nonsense a couple of weeks ago, I swore it off. Done. I found it very insulting.

The "tea bag" bit was the real tipoff.

And I went to a comic-book message board that Brubaker has been known to frequent, posted that I was dropping the book, and spelled out exactly why.

I can get insulted for my political beliefs for free. No need to spend $3.99 for the privilege.

19 Stan Lee and the gang are old-school hippy-dippy dork from way back. No surprises here. Just disappointment.

20 So, does the new Captain eat tofu and hang out at bath houses?

21 Dissent is no longer patriotic, it's downright RAAAACIST now. Thank you Captain America for taking your role as Comic Book SuperNanny to the extreme. Now f#ck off.

22 Captain America needs to change his name to Captain Cramps.

23 Captain America's been torn apart.  Now he's a court jester with a broken heart.

24

One of the seminal works in modern comics, The Dark Knight Returns is full of potshots at Reagan.

True, but 9/11 did smack some sense into Frank Miller.

25 I am so fucking pissed.

26 What's next?  Ironman building a hybrid suit with fewer carbon emissions?  The Human Torch buying carbon credits for super-hero activity? 

27 Just wrote to Marvel and Disney. With Grant Morrison over at DC, there's no need to ever buy a Marvel comic again.

28 Sniveling little writer douchebags at Marvel know that us racist, angry, white teabaggers won't saw their fucking heads off on YouTube the way the real enemy will.

They have nothing to lose by sniping at easy targets. Real brave.

29

OT

Who am I to deny a hongry coyote a Yankee moonbat meal? I am a wildlife advocate, and I say we owe them some Manhattan moonbat meat.

30 It's just not Captain America. In a recent Wolverine comic, he wanted to watch a John Wayne movie with the latest chick he's boning. Her response: "You know John Wayne was a racist."

31 I can't wait to see the exciting conclusion when Captain America beats down the father of a family who refuses to purchase state mandated health insurance - Go Cap'!

32

All I know is they'd better stay the hell away from Superman with that crap.  Don't read the comics but in the tv show (yes, I'm that old) he fought for truth, justice and the American way.

Of course, "People for the American Way" would tell you that's what they do but they're just another bunch of mis-named commies.

 

33 We are all National Socialists now. Let us get behind comrade Obama and let him lead us to a brighter tomorrow. The kulaks and bad jews that oppose him will be stopped by the genetically superior, like myself.

35 Ironman building a hybrid suit with fewer carbon emissions?  The Human Torch buying carbon credits for super-hero activity? 
Posted by: Hal

Close. Ironman's new suit is made out of hemp. Human Torch has to avoid Ironman Hempman or the just Avengers end up sitting around their apartment and eating Cheetos.

36 They already got to superman, who is now only about Truth and justice, and not the American way.

I never got into comic books and don't consider this stuff to be important to our culture or very good art.  It's just another big media attempt to pressure weak willed people into being democrats.

Republicans are dorky, stupid, evil, racist, bla bla bla.

It's progress.  Democrats used to lynch Republicans.

37 John Wayne was a racist? Hmm. Someone should tell his wife Pilar, the Peruvian.

38 The funny thing is that we have to predict the pivot, where when internal DNC polling tells them that, duh, the tea party is doing well among independents, that all of the sudden, the DNC owns the movement and they've always had the utmost respect for the tea party and so on...

39 he fought for truth, justice and the American way.

Well, in the recent Superman movie, he fought for "truth, justice, and uh...all that stuff". Or so the director related during an interview on NPR.

Captain America: Backfor seconds, you yellow bastards?!  You're no match for the unionized, eco-concious Government Motors!

46 The Betrayal of Captain America continues.

So does this mean its cool to root for Red Skull putting a bullet in his cranium now?

Never saw it, probably because it didn't have John Wayne, Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart or Glen Ford in it.

shit has been going on since the 70's (the major ones at least).

Back in the day when I read comics it was "against the law" to be a leftist.  Damn bring back McCarthy! 

As Jim Stafford says; I got the blues for the 50s; and I miss the early 60s too; I do.

52 Well, while this is bad, nothing Marvel could do would be worse than that last Spider Man movie.  Or any of the Spider Man movies for that matter..

53 Whoa there. Superman: Red Son was awesome. He started out using his powers to do the impossible: perfectly control a centralized economy and society. Had pretty much the whole planet ticking along like a Communist clock. But eventually he saw what he was doing and left humanity to itself. Awesome.

54 Well, while this is bad, nothing Marvel could do would be worse than that last Spider Man movie.

Ahem.

55 Shit.

OT but you all need a laugh.  Was staying with friends last week and Friday morning the wife says they have this thing on facebook where you enter your birthdate and it tells you which song was #1 on Billboard at the time. (think it was billboard). Asks me my DOB.

She enters it and it comes back, no data available.  Please pick a more recent date.  Told her thank you for making my day.  True story.  She did some more searching and found that "Davy Crockett" was the #1 song the day I was born.  I can live with that.

Why is Captain America bringing his butler on missions?

Brooks or Frum might need a blowjob.

Its only a matter of time before Captain America and his sidekick profess their undying love for each other an attempt to infiltrate some anti-gay marriage hate group so they can at last come out of the closet and be married.

69 Is this a joke? They cannot be serious. They just can't. I guess Marvel wants to go the way of newspapers. By the way, why is Cap'n 'Merica white? Is Marvel staffed by racists?

70

This reminds me of the South Park episode that had Indiana Jones and a Stormtrooper (at the very end) being raped.

Moonbat libtards apparently have (to their delight) acquired the right to defile Captain America.  We should respond by being careful not to provide the fine people at Marvel Comics any of our hard earned money for anything they produce until they apologize for defaming patriotic Americans, or until they fire those reponsible for this. 

71 The Falcon and Captain America in: B R O K E B A C K M O U N T I N G

72 Anyone who thinks the ideal man wears his underwear outside his pants doesn't get to tell me who to vote for.

This kinda reminds me of USSR propaganda.  So did a lot of Obama leaflets and posters.  Nothing nothing nothing about the actual values and consequences of policies.  It's just a hyper idealized hero (such as Obama in that Spiderman comic, or the "I am your hope and change", and a hyper demonized enemy, this "tea bag!!!!" racist conspiracy crap.

The people drawing this up know this is their best argument.  They can't actually explain why the TEA movement is wrong to criticize unsustainable spending and taxing, so they just make them into monsters.  They can't actually explain why Obama would be particularly good at anything, so they just tell us he's beautiful and perfect.

Sarah Palin and Paul Ryan and Abe Lincoln don't need that kind of thing.  Stalin did.  Because while you can convince someone to do the right thing with an argument, you need to avoid arguments to convince them of the wrong thing.

Marvel is simply part of the democrat machine.  I wouldn't be surprised if they get some money from the NEA or stimulus to draw some pamphlets, but money changing hands is hardly the real measure.

What'd Wolverine do?  Kick her out of bed?  Or aquiesce to her moonbat fantasy?  If it's the latter, I'm so glad I stopped reading Wolverine a long time ago.

This type of stuff is exactly why the comics industry is going to eventually fail.  The writers just cannot believe that their readers might not be jackasses like them.  Eventually, people are going to stop buying the comics.

It only makes sense in a liberal's mind that Capt. America would be such a downright snobbish fool.

78

I gave up comics years ago, partly for this general reason*.  I'd be reading along, following some really pretty decent multi-issue story arc that gave some credence to the plaintive cry of the artists that "graphic novels" are a legitimate form of art and literature, and bam!, gratuitous and patronizing intrusion of liberal lecturing.  As was said above, I don't need to pay $3.99 for that.  Anyeay, it's nothing new.

*And also to score with hot chicks for once.  Ask how that worked out for me.

79

A silent partner of mine who likes to take epic pictures, has the biggest most successful blog ever in the history of the internet and has a pony-tail said that if I sold out to the left once and for all, after a few months I would  practically be swimming in cash and hot women and have the best selling comic book on the market.


Seriously, what could go wrong ?

Posted by: Blazer at February 09, 2010 03:54 PM

Comic books have been going to the realm of obsolescence for years. Once video games came around the young lads found other fantasy avenues that have the advantage of being interactive. I think most sales of comic books now are to collectors who keep them in the wrappers and stow them away as a commodity to be sold at a profit later to other collectors.

81 Worst... Captain... America... EVER!

82 They write crap like this and then wonder why comic book sales are either dropping or plateaued. The only sales they get are from merchandise because while there are still fans of the comic characters they do not want to read the current runs.

It is lot like people who believe on God and Jesus but do not read the bible or go to church. They want to hang on to the Superman, batman or Capt America then remembered before it was brutally assraped by douche-bag writers.

83 Captain America has always been written as a leftie, written by lefties.  It's the irony of ironies...Conservatives like the idea of Captain America because he's a symbol of something we love, but don't actually read him, because liberal writers have never done anything but use him as a mouthpiece to declare how America hasn't lived up to the values he stands for...which he, coincidentally is a perfect example of.

84

John Wayne was a racist? Hmm. Someone should tell his wife Pilar, the Peruvian.

Indeed, and prior to Pilar, John Wayne clearly had a thing for Latinas.

85 Any of your guys remember Sgt Rock?......now there was an asskicker.

88 I suspect they have scewed up Sgt Rock as well.

89 Dr Spank 77 I can't wait til Captain America starts fighting our real enemies : The Jews.

I don't think that'll happen. If he does the Israel beat at all it'll be more of an anti-evangelist series; and excepting a few Ariel Sharon types the Jews in there will be Haaretz-reading appeaseniks.

Besides, a lot of the bigwigs in the comicbook industry are Jewish.

90 Why is Captain America bringing his butler on missions?

He's also his driver.

91

It's enough to make me give up on comic books completely, that's if I still read comic books but I sorta stopped reading them in middle school so it's a moot point.

I think that I'll stop my kids from reading them... that's if they read them.

Oh well, it's a hollow threat. 

92 This isn't new: check out one of the Avengers DVDs from Netflix where Thor was a member of Greenpeace sinking whalers. Straczynski rescued Thor for a while, but now that he's stopped writing I shudder to think what's next.

93 Stan Lee was a contributor to Hillary Clinton's campaign.  Him and Alex Ross, with his Obama art, want to mix art with politics.  That's fine, I can do the same and spend my money elsewhere.

Vic, I'm happy to report SGT. ROCK is still Sgt. Rock -- the latest guy to write a Rock story, Billy Tucci, is a former paratrooper and did tons of research and wrote a really good story.

If anyone is interested, it's called SGT. ROCK: THE LOST BATTALION, and both the story and art kick 10 kinds of ass.

FWIW...

He's probably waiting for "Don't Ask - Don't Tell" to go away so he can come out of the closet and get married to his "Life Partner".

Who the hell reads this shit anyway?  The movies are sometimes good.  but don't they still run around in tights that look like an ice dancer's outfit in most of the comic books?  Most of the pathetic dick sniffers who write this crap couldn't come up with a new character so they're stuck writing for a character that was created by someone else over 40 years ago.  Fucking hacks.

97   There was a lot of great stuff in the indie comics period of the late 80's, some of it so "politically incorrect" and avante garde that it would singe the hair off your eyeballs.  DC and Marvel are just the hacks of the industry.  If they printed their comics (or "graphic novels" as the otaku insist they be called) on toilet paper, they'd actually be useful for something...

98 In the next issue, Captain America is captured by tonsil stealing doctors, but is ultimately rescued by a heroic band of undocumented workers.

99 Since the only people who read comics anymore ar 35-year old losers living in their mamma's basement, I guess this is basically harmless

We just can't have nice things, can we? First DC kills Batman, then Marvel gets on its knees and kisses ass as part of a blatant political agenda. I personally don't think comics as an art form are dead, but I do think that if people keep using the characters as mouthpieces instead of just telling stories, they're not gonna last much longer.

104 Eh, I always thought that Captain America was a pretty lame superhero anyway.

105 Captain America will stop those greedy Joooo and Indian doctors from stealing my cum-slathered tonsils! 

106 And Captain America has, like, zero sex appeal.

107

The writers for Captain America develop a crisis of confidence in the American Government every time a Republican President is in office.

During Watergate, Steve Rogers lost faith in his ideals and changed his identity to "The Nomad."

When Reagan was in office, the government Commission on Superhuman Affairs (under direction of Cap's Nazi arch-enemy the Red Skull, natch) stripped Rogers of his costume and shield and gave it to one of his rivals.

Under Bush, the government decided to forcible register and enlist all superhumans.  Rogers refused, becoming an outlaw.  He eventually turned himself in to the authorities and was apparently assassinated on the courthouse steps.

The new Captain America is Bucky Barnes, his former sidekick who was though to have died fighting the Nazis more than 60 years ago.  It was revealed that after his apparent death he was captured by the Soviet Union, brainwashed and turned into an agent of the communists.  He resurfaced in 2005 as The Winter Soldier.

108

@31: "I can't wait to see the exciting conclusion when Captain America beats down the father of a family who refuses to purchase state mandated health insurance - Go Cap'!"

Hopefully, at that point, Punisher would seize Cap, make him watch while he killed everyone that Cap has ever even harbored the most remotely positive thoughts about,  and then put Cap out of our misery.

109

John Wayne was a racist? Hmm. Someone should tell his wife Pilar, the Peruvian.

Indeed, and prior to Pilar, John Wayne clearly had a thing for Latinas.

The Duke was married three times, all three wives were Latinas.

Sammy Davis Jr said although he didn't agree with a lot of Wayne's politics, the man didn't have a racist bone in his body.

However, I'll have to check with race policeman Charles Johnson on this

We're are not talking WW2-era comix here nohow, we're talking post Watergate and 9/11, when BushHitler himself spent 9/10 laying det chord all up in WTC 7 then flew off to NOLA to plant a few bombs in the levees around the Lower 9th Ward.

113

This "plotline.commentary" kind of makes me want to not go see the upcoming Captain America movie (Wink Wink Nudge Nudge). I bet  some people in the movie biz or at Disney or even Marvel might like to hear that from anyone feeling the same way.

114

I read comics as a kid and enjoyed the simple idea of good guys whipping ass on bad guys.  When I was 12-14 I started seeing the lines of good and bad being blurred to grey.  Spiderman was a insecure nerd who couldn't fit in, filled with teen angst.  Submariner was pissed because his undersea kingdom had been destroyed and goes on a wave of destruction but sometimes helps out.  Generally after helping he would tell the world to fuck off. 

I pretty much gave comics up but would occasionally glance at one only to find a world of dominatrix types or homo erotic art.  Our military was always the bane of that cuddly green Hulk.  The last Superman was the gheyest portrayal I ever saw.  The illigitimate child thing was also an absurd plot line for a hero.

That the uber no talent left writes crap comics that hate merica now is really no surprise.

115 Ohio Dan, indeed, the latest Superman was a total load of crap.

It might as well just enter public domain so someone can try to use the format for a good message.

Superman abandons his kid and his girl and doesn't really give a shit about anything.  It was dull.  And the heroine could basically care less about anything.

I guess it's not so bad, since Superman is an empty, unpersuasive shell, but the idea that some kids watched that and saw the hero abandon his kid is just sad.

These comic book writers are losers who hate real heros.  That's why they have to make a hero in tights.  A comic about a realistic soldier loving his country and his kids would be entertaining, but tht's the kind of heroism that threatens comic writers.  They don't want to face the reality that you don't need powers or tights to be a hero.  You just need to pick up a rifle and follow your drill sergeant.

They don't want to do their duty, so they invent this idea of heroes that isn't compatible with real values.

To save the day, you have to risk your life and kill assholes.  to get the girl, you have to be a good man and willing to raise your kids.  Oh, and work a job.

John Wayne is the opposite of a comic book hero.  I don't even like the guy's work, but recognize why they would want to ruin his reputation with lies.

116 My money is on Kick Ass.

117

So utterly lame. Whoever wrote this crap is pathetic. Hell, any comic book writer that uses an iconic character as a mouthpiece for their politics is pathetic. They don't have the stones to mouth off on their own, so they feel they can vindicate themselves by having an iconic character say what they feel. Why stop with this incident or the ass-kissing of Obama via Spider-Man? Anyone else remember Spider-Man being aghast at a supervillain prison that was a stand-in for Gitmo during the "Civil War" storyline?

It's really not worth getting upset over this or any other incident. Think about it. Generations from now, people are likely to know about Spider-Man, Captain America, Batman, Superman and so forth. Is anyone gonna remember the hack that wrote issue #602, especially in this era of rotating creative teams? People remember folks like Stan Lee and Jack Kirby for a reason. They also forget folks like Cap's latest hack for another reason.

118 A few years ago, Marvel did an "origin of Captain America" in which it was revealed that the "super-soldier serum" was produced in the course of horrible experiments on black prisoners. Of course.

119 Yeah, I picked this shit up a couple of weeks ago and pretty much took a shit.  Look, I get that "artistic" types are all gonna be leftist assholes, and I suppose most of them have the good sense to leave their garbage out of their craft (or the ones that do aren't so hamfisted about it), but occasionally a guy like Ed Brubaker, the writer of Captain America and very talented, gets a little too full of himself and decides to unload.

For the record, Brubaker is from Maryland and lives in Seattle.

And very, very, very white.

I sent him a missive (which he won't have read, but hell it was satisfying anyway) basically saying that he could at least 1. do his homework before slandering millions of his fellow Americans and b. have the balls to not hide behind a fictitious black character* when calling us all racists (only to have his ass kicked later, which makes me wonder where that guy's headspace is in). 

Yeah, like was said before, no reason to pay $4 bucks a pop just to be called an asshole.

120 "Straczynski rescued Thor for a while,"

But man, those early issues were painful.  Oh, look, here's the Katrina issue which said...well, nothing really.  And the one on the Darfur genocide was appalling.  You'll recall,, the genocide in Darfur is arab muslims raping and killing black muslims.  JMS instead depicted it as black christians killing black muslims.  The political correctness was absolutely stunning.  It really pissed me off cause it was a flagrant lie. 

Thankfully, he moved away from the social commentary and moved it squarely into Norse gods beating the ever loving shit out of each other territory.

Too bad he got pissed at Marvel and left right in the middle of an arc.  The current guy is...well, okay I guess.  But JMS was finally starting to hit his stride.  Maybe saw issues three times a year at best, but they were really getting good.

121 Back in the day, like the '70's day I think, Cap and Falc took on modern Hessians hired by modern Democrats I mean modern evil doers wanting to remake America in King George's image. Wow. For a second there, I thought you WERE talking about that issue. Then I noticed this was an entire 180 from that, etc. etc. Now they have gone too far.

122 Where did you read or hear that Teabaggers are being called racists? I haven't seen or heard that anywhere? Teabaggers come in all colors and party affiliations.

124 "Straczynski rescued Thor for a while,"

Wow, I find that odd.  He's kinda' leftist.  Like, retardedly so.  I once saw him go off on a rant post-9/11 about how outrageous it was that lighters weren't banned from commercial flights, and it was all because Bush was in the pocket of Big Tobacco.

But really, the guy does have it in him.  Watching Babylon 5 (my favorite show EVAR) from beginning to end, I'd have never guess the guy was a raving leftist lunatic.  Until I saw it with my own eyes.

The last time I read DC or Marvel comics was in the early 70s, when they were still good. I liked SGT Rock, Fantastic Four, Batman, Superman, Spiderman, and Jeb Stuart.

It's no surprise that politically-motivated cartoonists will mix their politics with their art.  My perogative is to spend my time and money elsewhere if they piss me off.

I've been pissed for awhile.

128 Just a thought: have the assclowns ever used real villians in their comics...like muslim terrorists?

129 All the black teabaggers should be pissed at that arrogant Falcon.
