A Comic I Worked On That Came Out On This Date
CAPTAIN AMERICA #6 came out on May 25 2005 and was the issue where we first revealed what we were doing: that the mysterious Winter Soldier who had been a shadowy antagonist throughout the initial run of issues might actually be cap’s long-thought-perished partner Bucky Barnes. This was a controversial thing to do, bringing Bucky back, and it’s down to the skills of writer Ed Brubaker and artists Steve Epting and Michael Lark that we were able to pull it off. But I can remember, just before this issue dropped, getting a call from Ed in which he was having pre-show jitters, half-convinced that angry fans were going to string him up for daring to tamper with this legend. As things turned out, that isn’t how things went down, and this run became an often-reprinted classic and the inspiration for transitioning the character into live action. But it very easily could have gone the other way.
Another Comic I Worked On That Came Out On This Date
Here comes trouble! STEVE ROGERS: CAPTAIN AMERICA came out on May 25, 2016 , marking the first time that Rogers picked up the identity of the Living Legend of World War II in a couple of years. But of course, all anybody remembers about this first issue is its final pages, in which the rejuvenated Rogers reveals that something is very wrong with him, as he reveals that he’s an operative working for Hydra. If we were over-concerned about bringing back Bucky, we were perhaps under-concerned about the impact that this moment was going to have when it hit. We knew it was going to cause controversy, that was pretty much the whole point. But fans went crazy, and not even just fans—this moment became the center of that culture wars, with any number of bad actors pointing at it as evidence of some manner of moral decay that had infected the entire industry. Thing were serious enough that I received death threats for allowing this to happen—I had to cancel an appearance at that year’s Baltimore Comic Con due to a threat that was sent from the Baltimore area and that the police we consulted considered a legitimate threat and not just some blowhard spouting off. Fun times! The person who got hit the hardest was probably writer Nick Spencer , and most of those who were angry didn’t want to hear that this was the first move in a carefully-constructed storyline that was going to play out over the next 18 months or so. It was a big, brassy story—maybe too big at certain points—and one that Nick almost lost control of at one point or another. But ultimately, we were able to keep the whole thing together long enough to land the plane in a mostly-satisfying way in the SECRET EMPIRE crossover that came the following year. Lost in the crowd a little bit, but probably thankful for it in this instance, was artist Jesus Saiz , who turned in some seriously great artwork on this issue and those that followed.
