(which marvel doesn't mention in the link below though I think my name's on the cover.) and it's actually a decent read for a marvel comic because Bob had some interesting ambitions for the thing except that the company thwarted just about every one of them, including having Cap become President eventually. So it's political stuff, including a visit to Guantanamo bay and some good questioning writing, but it finishes with some hokey fantasy what-ifs and Bob's heart went out of it and he left in high dudgeon long before his intended finish. Actually they cancelled the run (it was the 'Marvel Knights series) and he had to tag on a hasty ending. So they just needed a fill-in artist to quietly and efficiently wrap the thing up. Following Bachalo was kind of an interesting challenge.<BR/><BR/>http://www.marvel.com/catalog/?id=1334<BR/><BR/>CAPTAIN AMERICA VOL. 5: HOMELAND TPB<BR/><BR/>COVER BY: DAVE JOHNSON<BR/>WRITER: ROBERT MORALES <BR/>PENCILS: CHRIS BACHALO<BR/>THE STORY: <BR/>"In a story ripped from today’s headlines, the U.S. government taps Cap to embark on what might be his most life-changing mission ever – to serve on a military tribunal being held for a foreign antiwar activist charged with supporting terrorist actions against the U.S.! Cap’s involvement leads him to discover the existence of militant fringe groups planning a legislative overthrow of the United States government. But an even more startling discovery for this true American patriot is millions of disenfranchised citizens who feel abandoned and neglected by both major political parties.

Time travel figures prominently into the story as does an interdimensional comics convention. But these fantastic elements -- handled with all seriousness by Morales and artist Eddie Campbell (!) -- are necessary to the story, which is a simple one about a person's responsibility."Eddie Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02492020671613766729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752841194995687278.post-88754071348506182622008-05-19T22:51:00.000-05:002008-05-19T22:51:00.000-05:00Very cool.

Also, when I saw it I also saw a preview for the next hellboy movie, which alone would have made going to the cinema almost worthwhile (the first hellboy was slightly disapointing though, so won't get my hopes up to high).Matthew Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06954050440829792514noreply@blogger.com
