We could talk about other comics – and I will here shortly - but let me just congratulate Ed Brubaker and Steve Epting on the conclusion of “The Death of Captain America” saga.  Be sure to pick up issue #42, on sale Wednesday.  The “cursing Batman” nonsense that caused some retailers to look shortsighted and greedy and DC Comics to look unprofessional (really, no one came out well, here) comes out this week in its hopefully properly edited edition.  Full list and commentary after the break.

The first issue was a surprise sellout nationwide; now we’ll see if writer Daniel Way’s version of the Merc with a Mouth continues to impress.
