Think Wink.

This Friday I will probably pick up Captain America #48, the comic being my fictional get away. As part of the Marvel 75th anniversary, certain comic books are getting their original numbering. Earlier this year, Thor went to #600 instead of #13(?) (it is the 13th issue of the current run which started at #1 but this is the #600 of the Thor title). Captain America is one book that gets its original numbering back. This June Cap will be #600 instead of #51. Comic artist genius Alex Ross, noted for his Kingdom Come and The Marvels as well as helped design Bucky’s Cap costume, was asked to draw a variant cover with Steve Epting’s regular cover. I must say, both covers are gorgeous artwork. But Ross’ work would have gone better with Captain America #34 than #600. Since I haven’t read #600 I can’t be too certain of such a statement. Here is the 50/50 cover of this milestone issue. Oh and congrats to Ed Brubaker, Steve Epting, Luke Ross and company for 50 wonderful issues of Captain America–comic writers and artists don’t stay with a book like that, not to mention keeping it as good as it is for all published 47 issues
