Why should it matter if their foe critically injures them? They'll be on their feet again in no time, essentially wiping the slate clean of whatever drama the reader felt at seeing them fall--while to them, that broken leg or javelin through the heart was a minor nuisance that only pissed them off.<br />Comicsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064955427593820783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-9742350422787434342015-12-07T12:56:13.940-05:002015-12-07T12:56:13.940-05:00While I consider the Madbomb epic something of a m...While I consider the Madbomb epic something of a misfire, I am still one of those people who really enjoys Kirby's controversial run on Captain America. It could be for sentimental reasons, because it was my introduction to the character as a very young kid. But hey, it was the bi-centennial, and I had the T-shirt! And I've always loved the Kirby art.<br />There were some great issues that came out of it, particularly the Arnim Zola arc. And we got to see Cap as a physically vulnerable guy who could have his hands full just fighting other guys and even lose to stronger opponents, instead of this unbeatable, super-powered fighting machine. I think they take a lot away from characters when they make them invincible, like the Hulk or Wolverine. I think there's been too much of it.<br />M.P.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-23684948304924254902015-12-07T09:41:45.055-05:002015-12-07T09:41:45.055-05:00I still have to pick up some of the Mad-Bomb chapt...I still have to pick up some of the Mad-Bomb chapters.., still quite jarring and unnerving after the glorious Englehart/Buscema soul-searching, comparatively-deeper CA&F tales. <br /><br />But all-in-all, looks to be an interesting read.
