Honestly, I thought the previous Superman/Batman DVD released by DC, Public Enemies, was just okay. You know, aside from the heavy-handed homosexual undertones, there wasn’t really anything in Public Enemies that makes it stand up to Justice League: The New Frontier or Crisis On Two Earths. And it’s pretty obvious by this point that I have no love whatsoever for Jeph Loeb’s recent works, and while Ed McGuiness’s art is decent, it’s not exactly my cup of tea.

So I’m seriously not excited to see the new Superman/Batman: Apocalypse movie.

So the solicitation for this cover goes:

Steve Rogers has returned, but Bucky Barnes is the current Captain America, and has come into his own in the role. Will there be two Captain Americas? Will Bucky go back to being the Winter Soldier? What will happen? Decisions, decisions, decisions….

Who else thinks this will be one long “You take the shield Steve,” and then “No, Bucky, you’ve earned it,” repeated ad nauseam?

Know what I wanna see? I wanna see Bucky keep on being Captain America and then Steve Rogers taking over S.H.I.E.L.D. and kicking Norman Osborn’s ass through the streets of New York. And Rogers can basically rebuild the superhero community to pre-Civil War status quo.

Now that would be righteous.

Yes, the internet is buzzing with all sorts of praise for Geoff Johns’ epic masterpiece, Blackest Night. Imagine the amount of money DC has been raking in. So it’s really so surprise that Marvel is going to get into the act as well.

Blackest Night Captain America! Holy shit! The solicit for this issue reads:

Blackest Night: Captain America #1 of 3

Written by ED BRUBAKER
Pencils by ROB LIEFELD

50/50 Cover by ALEX ROSS

The Blackest Night proves to be more powerful than we thought as it starts its Secret Invasion of Earth 616… also known as the Marvel Universe! Bucky has survived his first major trial as the new Captain America, but what happens when he finally confronts his predecessor? Join the new Captain America, Iron Man and Nick Fury as they battle Steve Rogers to the DEATH!

Seriously, this is mind-blowing bullshit.

Also, if you haven’t figured it out yet, this is a spoof by the always-awesome theblast on Tumblr. But it’s so awesome we can only wish it was true. Also, I don’t know which comics to review this week since Fiel has dibs on GL and RJ’s MIA and I dunno what he wants to review. And I’m lazy to write my MCC post.
