Coming tomorrow is the 2nd issue of
Sam Wilson, Captain America...
...but all of this has happened
before, and all of this will happen
again:
Nice.
But whereas the
2015 Steve Rogers/Sam Wilson rift is apparently going to be caused by Sam's
Captain America taking some political stands, it's got
nothing on the
1971 split.
Sam has a new girlfriend,
Leila. But as a leader of the radical
People's Militia group, she's more interested in Sam's
politics than his
body:
Wow,
Gary Friedrich wrote the
hell out of that line!!
"You're where it's at in my book, Daddy...but my book's out of print...until you get the right library card!" I dare all of you to use that line on a loved one this week.
Cap tries to be understanding...
Nick Spenser and
Daniel Acuña, you have a tough act to top! Good luck, guys!
Okay, wait, hold up. Steve and Sam are going to have a split because Steve objects to Sam, as Captain America, taking political stands?
ReplyDeleteIn other words... is Steve Rogers taking the same position as Fox News!?!?!?
I think my brain just imploded.
(Or there's a part of the story I'm missing, and reality still makes sense. Yeah, that's gotta be it.)
Ha, i thought, going into this article with a click, that this was about the "split" 'XAM!' captain marvel & how he was like Steve austin the bionic man from the 70's n' was jus ahead of his time n' was due for a comeback n' retooling in a nostalgic retro 70's urban funk style, etc etc etc :P
ReplyDeleteIt wasnt till i was a few paragraphs in & realized that cap & falcon were more than just segues for the intro of the article that i went back n read the title line again :P :D ;)
Luthor--in fairness, the issue isn't out yet, so we don't know the specifics. And I do trust Nick Spenser to come up with a good story...
