ditto. here is their first meeting in the marvel universe. I have this book somwhere in one of many boxes…
If comics were still 40 cents I would buy them.
If they were all still written like when they cost 40 cents I would not buy them.
I give Civil War a lot of credit. It got many people who had quit reading comics back into it. The story line wasn’t bad at all either and it wasn’t juvenile. They had been hinting at something more going on with Punisher and Cap for several issues.
Captain America met Punisher when he was in bootcamp (shown through a flashback). They have also recently given Cap a personality that people relate to instead of simply being a brand name like he was for years.[/quote]
When you say for years Prof what do you mean? My collection of Cap starts at issue 100(that’s when Tales to Astonish was officialy changeds to Captain America) adn goes to the present. Cap always had a blue collar, work hard pull yourself up from your bootstraps, I love the USA but I don’t follow a leader if I feel they are wrong.
See for referance
Secret Empire in the 70’s where Steve Rogers becomes Nomad
ALso the late 80’s Cap 332-333 where Jonny Walker USAgent becomes cap and Cap becomes the Captian(first one to wear all black cap out fit)
Or even the most recent Civil War where he tells S.H.E.I.L.D to f off when they try to make him register.
See people see the red white and blue or the Superman S and assume ah it’s just cheesy nostalgia but really it isn’t Cap changed all the time personality wise. Whether it was “Slap a Jap” propaganda from WWII or the Nixon era disallusionment Cap has been there and has taken the side of the people. Sorry for the run ons but I’m half asleep getting ready for work
CNN.com even did a story on this.
Interesting event, I’m curious to find out what will happen.
Ditto on caring about this more than Anna-Nicole.
I seen this on the front page of the Oklahoman or Tulsa World this morning. What happened to poor Cap.

sigh I hope this is all an elaborate ruse or at least temporary. You cannot permanently get rid of Captain America, for God’s sake.
Hey man, they tried it with Superman. I know, because I attended his funeral at a comic shop in my town. The eulogy was given by my buddy dressed as The Sandman, there was a closed casket, the whole 9. Wow, yeah…Nerd, thy name is Chris.
Edit: If you scroll down this screen, and look at just the avatars, it’s jkinda funny. Namor, Superman, Cap, Superman, Punisher, Cap. Ha.[/quote]

Has anyone done this? I have a few boxes I might sell.
I know Prof X is looking to catch up on all those old stories.
did a search on ebay for comics just to see…prices tend to go up when an event occurs…release of a movie…so interest is renewed if even for a little bit …only part I’m not looking forward to it the scanning every comic…or however I’d input the issue

So apparently everyone in Dane county that saw a news story about Cap dieing had to immediately descent upon my favorite comic shop and buy every copy of Cap #25 - oh, and they were all jobless fucks so by the time I finished working there wasn’t a single one left.
Thanks, Marvel, for printing two covers so everyone bought two copies.
But anyway, since the reprint won’t ship for 3 weeks, can someone fill me in on what exactly happened? Please…[/quote]
SPOILERS!!!
After surrendering after the final battle of the Civil War, Captain America is escorted to the courthouse where he will be tried. Instead of a military tribunal he will be tried in a public court since Cap fights for the people of America. As Captain America is being escorted up the stairs, being hit by a tomato, and passing a whole slew of people who demand that Captain America should be freed, he spots a sniper laser on the back of a police officer and rams him out of the way to be shot in the shoulder. It then shows him falling to the ground and then shot 3 times in the stomach. Winter soldier and the Falcon, who were looking on in secret go and try to find the sniper and eventually find Crossbones getting onto a helicopter and fleeing. They bring crossbones out of the helicopter and instead of killing him they let the cops arrest him. Sharon (shield officer, caps lover) and crew take cap to the hospital where hes pronounced dead. It cuts to a scene with the red skull and he ends up being behind the sniper and actually had sharon under mind control, causing her to be the person to shoot cap 3 times in the gut. At the end of the issue she realizes this and breaks down.

the market sucks the past few years for most books. Every so often I look for the hell of it. I dont have any golden age era books, but I do have books that theoretically should be worth something,ie the gost rider series #1 from the early 90’s and thats barely worth anything over cover even with a new movie out. plus a ton of other random shit, I figure at this point they are worth more for my future kids to bug out on than they are on ebay.

I have only ever purchased on eBay. HOWEVER make sure that if you sell on eBay that you list it with a resonable price, according to a guide. Dont put something that is work a few hundred dollars up on eBay for… say… $15.
Unless it is something rare with Elektra in it. If you list something of that nature then i ask that u list it for about $0.15 and tell me about it!

Just take a picture of the cover and load it up there.
For fans, like myself, of only certain comics or certain people, we already know what to look for… Such as the Elektra Marvel Knights #3 Nude variant. Barely even need to see the cover!
