Just read it. Art was pretty awesome on all the other pages. There was some pretty cool visuals that I've always enjoyed from this title.

Why is "Lisa Halloran" so familiar to me? I googled the name and she's a new character it seems. Is it a retcon or someone using an old character or movie name?

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

Glory to Mankind.

Both Captains America books being written by Spencer are deeply political; Sam Wilson deals more with real-world modern politics, with Sam having to deal with institutionalized racism/the militarization of police/people insisting he step down as Captain America because he has opinions and is willing to publicly express them, while dealing with the fact that he's, for all intents and purposes, the most visible and famous black man in the world and the insane and unfair scrutiny he's being subjected to as a result. His enemies are usually exaggerations of real-world, politically aggravating societal issues like corporations performing legal but deeply unethical work, corrupt politicians working to depress the disadvantaged, a segment of militarized racists attempting to exact their own brand of justice on immigrants, and so on.

Steve Rogers is more philosophically political, dealing with the appeal of fascism as a methodology one could openly subscribe to or how it lures people into thinking it's right or just, and the deeply broken brain chemistry that makes a fascist. It's timely mostly because of the Trump campaign, but it's more of a generally political take over a specifically political one like Sam Wilson. If anything, it puts a fine point on how incredible of an idea Captain Hydra was, because it forces readers to confront how horrifying and grotesque the thought processes and beliefs of people like Trump supporters are by having an icon of pure, noble American patriotism in its most beatific form say and think them. It ends up making readers think, really think, about what the gently caress one of the two major political party's candidate for president is saying, which obviously pisses off straight white male manbabies who can't stand to have their beliefs challenged.

Yeah, Av buying is kind of weird.

I mean, I have no idea who gave me this redtext for instance, and I'm kind of scratching my head as to why. I mean, I get why I would inspire such loathing, but why this? Like, what was the context behind it? I've never stated any particular opinions regarding Spider-Man Reign, at all.

Oh well, more money for Lowtax to keep these dead comedy forums alive, I guess. And I never could come up with a better alternative.

The eternal rule of goon song/poetry/prose/etc. parody is "It would be better if it ended earlier".
