I didn't post that Spider-Man art to praise it. I posted it to bash it.thefit said:Now that is some nice art and it actually feels like a comic not like that spiderman crap you posted a few days ago. Thanks.
Comon, we all know it's because of the money.FortNinety said:Can someone please tell me why it's another #1? How many times has this series been restarted?

Either way, I don't think people should be pre-occupied with issue numbering. Who cares? As long as we get good stories, it really doesn't matter what issue number, or volume, the title is in.Littleberu said:For one, it's easier to introduce new reader with a brand new serie, than with #636. It's also because of the end of Avengers and the beginning of the New-Avengers series IIRC.

Strength Level: Captain America represents the pinnacle of human physical perfection. While not superhuman, he is as strong as a human being can be. He can lift (press) a maximum of 800 pounds with supreme effort.
Abilities: Captain America has agility, strength, speed, endurance, and reaction time superior to any Olympic athlete who ever competed. The Super-Soldier formula that he has metabolized has enhanced all of his bodily functions to the peak of human efficiency. Notably, his body eliminates the excessive build-up of fatigue-producing poisons in his muscles, granting him phenomenal endurance.
Captain America has mastered the martial art of American-style boxing and judo, and has combined these disciplines with his own unique hand-to-hand style of combat. He engages in a daily regimen of rigorous exercise (including aerobics, weight lifting, gymnastics, and simulated combat) to keep himself in peek condition. Captain America is one of the finest human combatants Earth has ever known.
Limitations: Captain America is subject to all human vulnerabilities, although his immunity to diseases is extraordinary.
Weapons: Captain America's only weapon is his shield, a concave disk 2.5 feet in diameter, weighing 12 pounds. It is made of a unique Vibranium-Adimantium alloy that has never been duplicated. The Shield was cast by American metallurgist Dr. Myron MacLain, who was contracted by the U.S. government to create an impenetrable substance to use for tanks during World War II. During his experiments, MacLain combined Vibranium with an Adamantium-steel alloy he was working with and created the disc-shaped shield. MacLain was never able to duplicate the process due to his inability identify a still unknown factor that played a role in it. The shield was awarded to Captain America by the government several months after the beginning of his career.
The shield has great aerodynamic properties: it is able to slice through the air with minimal wind resistance and deflection of path. Its great overall resilience, combined with its natural concentric stiffness, enables it to rebound from objects with minimal loss of angular momentum. It is virtually indestructible: it is resistant to penetration, temperature extremes, and the entire electromagnetic spectrum of radiation. The only way it can be damaged in any way is by tampering with its molecular bonding.

ShadowRed said:Huh...WTF is that? In the Earth X limited/alternate universe series it was shown that he ages very slow.
I hated that episode (XMen Evolution, btw).Saturnman said:I got that either from X-men or Spiderman. They needed to freeze him because his superpowers came at a price and there was no way to cure him of it (yet).
Ed Brubaker, of Sleeper, Detective Comics, and Gotham Central fame. Don't worry Alucard, Brubaker's widely considered to be one of the best writers in the business.Alucard said:So who's writing this? Awesome art or not, Cap America is a pretty shitty character and one of my most despised heroes.

I'm sure those on this forum familiar with his work would tend to agree.
It's written by Joe Kelly, so I'd expect terrible before expecting good. The art looks nice, though.Littleberu said:Don't want to start a new thread about this, but what do you guys think of the new Space Ghost mini? Will it be good?
