It's not like they explain the jokes on the page, they're supplemental. I don't see how it makes the comic more or less funny. If you didn't like those jokes, then it's just, I guess a lower percentage of jokes you liked?

Most people said they didn't even see it. So you can ignore it if you like the rest of the page. But use your poo poo metaphor I guess.

Endless Mike posted:

As said, Cap was revealed to be in Hydra the whole time!!! (It's a story and will be undone. Come on now.)

As for those panels, they're from an issue of What If? where Cap saves Erskine and leads a troop of super soldiers in WW2 (basically the Howling Commandos but with super soldier abilities). Needless to say this works out pretty well, but on the ship back to the US, their ship gets sunk by a U-boat and Cap is the only survivor. Note this is all told in flashback by President Cap to Ted Koppel. So, Cap makes it back, becomes head of SHIELD, reveals his identity, and eventually becomes president. He starts distributing the super soldier serum among the populace, but it doesn't work on black people for some reason! Very strange! In this world, Cap can be president-for-life, and is, and stops a bunch of things that would have led to more superheroes (no Spider-Man, no F4, etc.). Eventually in "now", amnesiac Namor gets attacked by the super soldiers and flees into the Arctic, finding Cap's frozen body.

The following issue is "What If Captain America Formed the Avengers?" which continues the story where we learn President Cap is actually Red Skull, and Frozen Cap finds the handful of heroes and creates the Avengers to avenge the mess Red Skull has made (Wolverine with Wendigo powers, Sam Wilson as Giant-Man, Punisher in Iron Man armor, and Namor).

I read this issue a few weeks ago as my shop was selling some back issues for a dollar. The second part was one of the weirdest (in a good way) issues I've read in a while. The mix-matching of the powers to different characters was awesome, and since it was an issue from the 80s, I didn't know about that twist ending. I went back to my shop to buy the second issue with little delay.

Not quite a panel, but from the Vision #11 (the second to last comic Tom King is allowed to write for Marvel since he signed exclusively with the other guys) letters page.


I read that free Batman issue that was handed out last week(end) for Batman day. Some joker had Tom's name on it for some reason. He should sue for slander, because the Batman issue was just awful. It's like if someone 8 years old wrote for Batman.

"What if, Batman jumped off a building, into the Batmobile, which rocketed him into the sky, and then he lassos a plane, uses rockets to steer it, and gets it into the water?"

That Tom King should sue whoever that joker is! I'm glad Marvel Tom King only wrote the one series.

The whole point of the Spencer Sam Wilson: Captain America has been to show how Sam is dealing with more extreme forms of what is going on IRL, with heroic duty.

Sam has the Fox news standins hounding his every action and saying he's not doing his job well enough. For example, he was trying to save the life of some ultra right-winger despite the fact that they both hate each other, because heroes save lives. Nazi Steve Rogers set Sam up to fail, and the guy gets killed. So now he's got people breathing down his neck some more and doubling down on the pressure to give up the shield. He is trying to prove them wrong by being as noble of a hero as he can, in the face of their racism.

Like, that's the entire plot of the book since issue one. Being heroic in the face of hate.

Sheesh, last time I saw Kubik was an older Avengers issue with Buscema / Palmer art, he looked like a metal version of Marvin the Martian.



It was a pretty weird issue with Steve Rogers as The Captain (the black suit/motorcycle phase) being called to help Dr. Druid's Avengers who were all beaten by the Super Adaptoid, who lured Kubik to Earth so he could copy his reality-altering powers.

Steve literally beats the most powerful being on Earth (at that time) using nothing but logic and exploiting Super-Adaptoid's stupid artificial ego.

It's also revealed that the Super-Adaptoid's powers were literally drawn from a sliver of the original Cosmic Cube, which Kubik removes and replaces back within himself after the fighting's over.

Is this the same Kubik who manifested during that whole Avengers Standoff thing (and then joined the Thunderbolts I think)?
