Now even though this is for the most part a music blog, deep down inside I am a huge comic book fan/nerd. There are certain things which I consider sacred in the comic book world. For example, a non-electric blue Superman, Hal Jordan as Green Lantern, Batman with a Robin, a wise crackin' Spider-Man, and a Captain America wearing red, white, and blue only!
For those who might not have heard Captain America (Steve Rogers) was killed off in a storyline this past summer. Well Marvel Comics is going to bring the character back with more attitude...I guess. They unveiled the new look this past week and I gotta say I hate it! How do you give Captain America, the symbol of America, a black costume?!?!?! Anyone? And on top of that a gun? Cap only needs his shield. The designer said he took a page from some old movie serials in which Captain America had a gun. Nice right? Everyone likes the retro feel, but did he also remember that that version of Captain America was a lawyer?!?!? huh? Or that it wasn't a canon Captain America?!?! no of course not.
So what does this mean? Well like all comic gimmicks it means that for about a year or so we have to live with this atrocity. Like having Jean-Paul as Batman for a year, or the blue Superman, or the entire Spider-man clone disaster; it's just something we will have to live with for awhile until Steve Rogers makes his return.
