r mundane real world issues like illegal immigration even worth tackling in a universe where Reed Richards can cure world hunger?
i understand having homo sexual superheros and heroes of color... but not sure tackling the deficit or tax system or universal healthcare makes much sense...
My son is a history buff. He's double-majoring in Biology and History in fact. He's very interested in, among other topics, Cold War USSR, and he's been trying to pick up all the SSS appearances. He'd love it if they were brought back.

He's not the only one! I would buy the hell out of a SSS book. Even better with Angel Medina artwork (maybe they could team-up with Blackwulf)! Still waiting for that "All-New Blackwulf" announcement...

Sadly I have that book... And the cover is still awesome to the 12 year old me.
"Hmm... Did those immigrant parents sneak in through Ellis Island illegally and balk at assimilation?"
Ahhh there it is. I love when the coded generalizations come out.
And here's the thing - regardless of how Cap's parents came through (there's no proof one way or the other), the Cap that's been portrayed over the years would give benefit of the doubt that anyone trying to get into the country is doing so for good reasons, for the promise this country likes to rah rah promote. In other words, he has more compassion than those with so-called "all-american" values and such.
It's the Ultimate Cap you have to look out for. :lol:

The only "Sadly" thing about Blackwulf was the day it was cancelled! Your 12 year-old self knew awesome comics when he saw them!
Seriously Marvel... "All-New Blackwulf". Goldmine. I don't know what Angel Medina is up to these days, but you should give him a call.

Just finished Karnak #1. Not quite what I was hoping for. I may give it another issue, but I've got so much in my pile, and it looks like it might end up being a series rife with crossovers. And Zaffino is a better artist than what he showed in this first issue, so that was a bit disappointing as well. I'll probably pass on this one.

Do actually follow me on Twitter or just troll me?
Hint: no one cares about the topic anymore. Let's move on. I still remember when you were trying to prove that Ma and Pa Kent were also pro-illegal immigration. We totally get that you think anyone who opposes letting people sneak into the country illegally are just "bigoted racists". It's finally dawned on me that if I do run into to any well-meaning illegal immigrants (or those non-existent other types of illegal immigrants), I'll tell them they're welcome to stay at your house @RepoMan
The delicious irony is that the bulk of that Captain America: Sam Wilson issue is not about immigration, it is a metaphor about people who don't want to see politics in comic books.

Actually - an interesting thread out of all of this hoopla would be to find all the times Cap DID focus on 'hot button domestic issues'. I would think with comics such as Civil War and characters such as the Watchdogs (domestic extremists), ROXXON (big business) or even Winter Soldier (basically a POW) there are more of those subjects than people think. He's not only about defending the homeland from those pesky foreigners.

It is definitely a clever example of a self-aware comic. No doubt Nick is a solid writer.
And this is coming for a guy who liked the original Squadron Supreme limited series... but not sure these guys are original enough to warrant their own books!
Punisher, International Iron Man, Nighthawk, Hyperion, and a miniseries called X-Men: Worst X-Man Ever!
Am I the only one that can't picture myself paying $4 an issue for any of those titles?
No, but then, I wouldn't even pay $1 an issue for any of those titles before seeing a preview. Ask me again after I've been able to see a few pages of each book.

So many of Marvel's books don't have previews available beyond cover art and sometimes a few frames. Is that enough of a "preview" for you to pre-order?
International Iron Man looks like it could be good, especially with its Bond-esque cover and Maleev art. Hyperion is a definite maybe, considering how much I enjoyed this particular version of the character when he was in Hickman's Avengers run. Nighthawk is probably a pass, and Punisher I'll read on Unlimited, but I'm glad to see Becky Cloonan getting some Marvel work!

I can usually find at least a couple of pages before it comes time to place my order. That's usually enough to decide if I'm going to preorder, wait and decide when it hits the shelf and I can see more, or pass altogether.
I like the Punisher creative team, but I'm generally not a Punisher kind of guy, so I'll likely pass on that despite the creators. The rest I'll need to see more. Not that I need to see what a Bendis/Maleev book looks like, but it's not an automatic “yes” for me because it's likely to be crossover fodder.
Not sure yet if I will buy it, or wait for Unlimited. But will look forward to it in either case.
I'm not familiar with Walker's work, and I know the artist is not announced yet. But I like the Supreme Power version of Nighthawk, and I'm intrigued by some of those versions of them being folded into the MU. Another one I will look for on Unlimited.
I'm already getting the first Bendis/Marquez Iron Man book. I will give the second one at least a few months to see how well they compliment each other. The Bendis era of Avengers lost some steam for me towards the end, but there were a lot of years in there when I really enjoyed having both Mighty/Dark/Avengers and New from him each month.
It also strikes me that that, as Hyperion and Nighthawk have always been analogues for Superman and Batman, to give them their own ongoings in the MU is to basically have some 'Superman and Batman the Marvel Way' books in the line.
I thought I read that Blade would be solicited again at a later date. It could have been a DCBS email.
Good catch, @Mr_Cosmic. Upon review, my DCBS notification did say, "Will be reoffered in a future issue of Previews," but I'm still a bit curious as to why it was cancelled in the first place. It was originally scheduled to be released in October. Great debut month for a new vampire series.
Hmmm... perhaps they have delayed it as they make plans for a Netflix series or movie? Snipes has been publicly vocal about his interest, even to pass the torch if that's the story.
The Punisher is the first and only thing to interest me. I've had an extended break from the character who's always been one of my top faves. Im ready to get back in. However, if I'm not impressed right away or they turn me off with more of their curent editorial status quo, I'm gone w/o hesitation. I imagine Star Wars will be the only marvel product I buy for the foreseeable future.

I thought the latest run on the Punisher was great..have you tried it at all? I highly recommend it.

No I havnt. Havnt read any punisher titles for a while but ready to check back in. So a new #1 will be a good and welcome jumping back on point for me.

Don't we already have Moon Knight and Sentry?

PS. Anyone hear anything about the new Blade series that got cancelled preemptively? Will it be re-solicited?
