Pilot: Captain America and the First Thirteen #1
Captain America and the First Thirteen #1 has a little of the old and a little of the new—and plenty of war speak and fast punches. Read my review at Impulse Creations.

Cap Looks Cool … and Weaving as Red Skull
Entertainment Weekly produced the first images of Chris Evans as Cap in the upcoming Captain America: First Avenger—and Hugo Weaving as Red Skull.
Weaving, huh? Yup, that’s all the convincing I need. To be fair, though, these stills aren’t too shabby-looking.
Most True Believers have probably noticed the trend of cameos and references to other Marvel properties in recent films, an effort to tie together the publisher’s comic book universe. Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) is already credited on the Captain America cast list; so is Howard Stark, father of Tony Stark/Iron Man. Any thoughts on who or what else might appear?
Visit /Film for the full batch. The film is due out July of next year.
Marvel Meltdown: February ’10
Need your Marvel fix? This month’s Marvel Meltdown at Impulse Creations previews three new comics: Psylocke #4, Uncanny X-Men #521, and Captain America #603. Here are some quick teasers:
“Psylocke #4 does rise as a decent character spotlight … It just doesn’t necessarily accomplish anything terribly influential.” - Psylocke #4
“Fraction’s writing suffers from weak, forced dialogue that, even when humorous, doesn’t push the right buttons.” – Uncanny X-Men #521
“Luke Ross polishes the comic with a wonderful, almost sentimental artistic flair, which transports us back to the 1950s and rekindles our memories of Steve Rogers.” - Captain America #603
