So, in sexy, sunny and very nearly on fire Santa Barbara, CA, we had a special vistor in the store the other day. And I’m not talking about one of the upcoming writers on the ‘Brand New Day’ version of Amazing Spider-Man either.
While I was at lunch (of course!), one Joe Johnston came into the store on a mission. He was checking out Captain America comics because today, he’d be heading down to Marvel Studios to talk about possibly directing the Captain America movie. He purchased the Adventures of Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty #1-4, a Marvel Masterworks of golden age Cap stories (Marvel Masterworks vol. 43: Golden Age Captain America Nos. 1-4 to be exact) and yes, Brubaker’s Captain America #15, 24 and 25. We tend to run out of Brubaker issues as the whole store is a fanboy for that series and we recommend the books hand over fist.
Let’s wish the guy luck.

That’s pretty cool! Glad to see someone doing a little research. And really glad that he got some classic Cap and Bru, not Ultimates (one of my cynical expectations of the movie is that Marvel will look to base it more on the one-dimensional Ultimates version; movies like simple.)
