Over at Kyle Baker's blog he posted this image with nothing else but "but an upcoming Marvel Gig" and the tags Isaiah Bradley and TRUTH So you think Steve will still be the star of Reborn or is Marvel gonna be a little whorish and pimp a gasp... BLACK Captain America. Perhaps they can get him on the cover with Barack Obama.

So you think Steve will still be the star of Reborn or is Marvel gonna be a little whorish and pimp a gasp... BLACK Captain America. Perhaps they can get him on the cover with Barack Obama. Marvel's use of Barack Obama has actually gone too far with me. Seems like he's everywhere. Lots of other books are using him too but especially Marvel. I saw something with Dan Didio awhile back where he addressed why DC isn't using President O in their books. It does date the books and the characters in a way, and at least Dan kinda gets the idea that his playground is full of timeless characters. DC, for as much as you may or may not like the company, does produce books thats stand the test of time. You hear about Watchmen, Dark Knight, All Star Superman, but you rarely hear about a Marvel story in that way. Joey Q and Marvel political "flash in the pan" stories they are producing won't stand the test of time, because the Marvel of today barely seems like the Marvel of the previous 30 years.

I bet that he Captain America will not only fight alongside Obama... I expect from Marvel that Obama will be the new Captain America!
It's so annoying to see Obama everywhere. I'm glad that DC isn't whoring itself out like other companies do right now. They are obviously trying to cash in on the popularity of Obama. I don't think that real world politics should be appearing in main stream continuity comics, if in comics at all. It's only rarely done well and that is usually the case in elseworlds.

That's quite possible. It's why i put a question mark after leak. It was like, is this true? PROBABLY...
NOT!
That's how I roll.

Not being American, I may be wrong about this, but I thought Obama was Captain America.

Obama as Cap would actually be a step down, seeing as how the whole world has him framed as the second coming of Jesus. And Jesus is a better gig, what with the sackcloth dashiki and the whole water-to-wine bit.

I could skip the whole crucified bit, though (if I was one to actually believe in the existence of such a historical figure... which I don't). JW

Yeah but Jesus jumps the gun way too soon with his resurrection. Cap's been known to wait at least 20 years or so. That's class.

So, logically, this thread now asks: who is the bigger whore? Marvel, with its media/Obama lust, or John and Kate put together?
