I am not happy with the death of my favorite childhood comic book character.
The Sentinel of Liberty Captain America.
In the current issue #25 Captain America is apparently killed by an assassin.
It is only to get people (who would other wise never utter the word "comic book") to start talking about Marvel Comics. Will these same people rush out to some local comic book shop and pick up an issue? Will fanboys who usually buy the book, not? Only time will tell if this marketing strategy will pay off.
While on the subject of comics...
~ Congratulations to my old art school buddy Mike Norton. Mike, who is living his dream in Chicago, has just signed an exclusive artist contract with DC Comics. He will be the main artist on The Atom.
~ One of my favorite podcasts The Secret Identity mentioned us on their recent episode. In fact they made us their website of the week. Thanks guys.
