A Good Mix
When trying to articulate my exact eschatological position, I often have a difficult time because I fall somewhere between amillennialism and postmillennialism. Here is Jason Robert’s position as he laments the problems with labels,
But here is the problem with labels:
I am postmillennarian when it comes to the nature of the kingdom. But I am amillennarian when it comes to the start of the kingdom and its length. I am postmillennarian when it comes understanding that Jesus will return at the end of the “millennium.” But I am amillennarian when it comes to understanding that the “millennium” is not actually a literal thousand years but is the biblical description of the New Covenant ministry of the Church in which we live. I am postmillennarian when it comes to understanding that the Bible is the sole source of human ethics, which is also known as theonomy. But I am amillennarian when it comes to fact that I do not believe that there will be some future “Golden Age” where this cursed world will someday operate according to Biblical law and be filled with a universal development of Biblical theocratic republics where unbelievers will be punished by death. Simply put, in the Covenantal sense I am generally postmillennial, with a historical amillennarian perspective of the starting point, nature and length of the “millennium,” and convinced of an early dating of Revelation.
While I do not ascribe to Covenant theology as Jason does, I like this paragraph on how I fall between the amil and postmil positions. Here is the full post: The Inadequacy of Labels

Brubaker on Cap #39
Here is Ed Brubaker’s commentary on Captain America #39. Here is the most important blurb from the interview
NRAMA: And what starts after that?
EB: The next Cap story. Drawn by Luke Ross. Starring the New Cap, and some other friends. It’s about him coming to grips with the current Marvel Universe and his place in it, and features a villain that has ties to WW2 and the Cold War, as well as someone I’ve been meaning to get to in our book for quite some time.
