Captain America #600 Changes Everything

News from Marvel Comics

"It's the historic CAPTAIN AMERICA issue you've been waiting for as Eisner-winning writer Ed Brubaker teams up with a group of red hot artists including Butch Guice, Steve Epting, and many more to bring you the extra-sized CAPTAIN AMERICA #600! It's the anniversary of the day Captain America died, as the Marvel Universe reflects—and the next jaw-dropping chapter in the Captain America mythos begins! Plus, writers Mark Waid and Roger Stern join Brubaker to bring you over 60 pages of all new stories, plus select reprints featuring the work of Stan Lee and a Captain America cover gallery! And just who is the girl without a world? What's her connection to Captain America? With covers by superstars Alex Ross and Steve Epting, no Captain America fan can miss this issue!

Brubaker's run on CAPTAIN AMERICA has fans and critics alike wanting more!

"To call Ed Brubaker's CAPTAIN AMERICA one of the most consistently excellent runs to come along in years would be a bit of an understatement." – Dan Phillips, IGN.com

"I'm here to tell you this simple truth: CAPTAIN AMERICA under Ed Brubaker is about quality storytelling, period." – Paul Brian McCoy, Comicsbulletin.com

"…there's nothing more than pleases me in this gig than having the chance to rave about a great comic, particularly one that's been so good for nearly four years straight." – Chad Nevett, ComicBookResources.com"

Kick ASS 6 issue

If you don’t know already Kick Ass is on its sixth issue and really is kicking ass.

I don’t want to say too much about the comic as I feel that if you have not read it please do. It has to be one of the better comics around at the moment. Written by Mark Millar, pencils and cover by John Romita JR. First printings of issue one to five are costly and hard to find. There are loads of third prints etc around and there is also a trade paperback on its way. Not to forget that there will be a movie out later this year. Gripping!!!
