I don't see them killing either character, truth be told, as Marvel is pushing them both so much in the comics and in Hollywood...

While I too used to despise CAPTAIN AMERICA, that book is now officially AMAZING (small SPIDER-MAN pun intended) in the hands of BRUBAKER and Epting. Seriously, Waffle, check out the first TPB collection... it's... wow. I can't believe I'm actually diggin' Captain "Lame-O" America, you know? :eek:

As for Civil War... it's pretty darn good... but I feel you really have to also be reading the AMAZING SPIDER-MAN tie-in issues (at least) to get a full "feel" for what is going on...

Also, on a somewhat related noted, anyone not reading PLANET HULK is really missing out too. I fully expected to hate it... but wowza... what a treat. (That includes the few issues by Daniel Way leading-up to it...)

SINcerely,
Dirk Manning
