No the big news is that nothing actually happend in this issue at all, it was all hype and no substance. This was nothing more than a set up for the Reborn miniseries that we all guessed was the return of Stever Rogers a couple months ago. |

not having read the book, I don't know what happens in it. I think we all knew the big news would be more related to Reborn than this issue. However, the big news is stupid and will not garner the kind of attention that Civil War #3, Cap #25, or Spider-Man #583 did. This was an example of Marvel pretty much screwing the shops into ordering stupid levels of a worthless book. I am sure it is a fine book, but this is not the kind of news that Marvel told us to expect. Three years down the road it would have been, but now it is just a bit too early. Now if Isiah were Cap going forward and Will Smith had agreed to play Cap in the movie, I would have needed about a trillion copies. This one, I could have done with normal numbers, maybe a five percent boost. |

Yeah, it seems maybe a bit early, maybe. And it was expected. |

I read the book this morning and if not for all the hype surrounding it on it's on it is a decent read. Not a lot happens but there a a few cool moments, nothing worthy of the excitement that Marvel was trying to perpetuate arounf the book. I agree 100% that Marvel screwed retailers big time with this one, playing on what happend with Captain America #25. Most of the people at my shop didn't give a shit about Cap #600 coming out today, as they are all fans of Bucky Cap and are not really interested in the return of Steve Rogers. We opened the store at 10am today and with a little better than normal customer traffic for a Monday by 1pm we had not sold a single copy of Captain America #600. |

See, that last part is just sad` |

Oh, I've had people come in for it, but only Comics fans, only normal faces, who made a special trip out today and will be back on Weds and who I am sure I will get what for from. Marvel promised retailers added interest. The general Public doesn't care, just like they didn't care when Supes came back. |

Marvel did a really good job of getting the Comics folks hyped up about this, but did nothing to get joe q public interested. I'm not really mad at them, just mystified. Why did they think the return of Steve would be newsworthy, it is too soon and just plays to the stereotypes about comics that the outside world already believes to be true. No one stays dead in comics. We killed Steve, we are going to keep him dead, oh yeah, he's back. That's what it looks like to the public. |
