My wife just texted me this ...
"Apparently Nick Spencer out a__holed himself by making Cap America a Nazi!"
What is this about? She sent me some screen caps of a twitter feed she saw it on "say no to hydra cap"
(Moderators, I didn't know where to post this in modern comics, nor felt it was worthy of a new thread, but if so please adjust accordingly.)

It's Geek Pride Day... it's a far cry from when I was in high school when it was kick a geek's ass day every day of the week... -M My older daughter proudly wears her Harry Potter t-shirt to school, she bought a pair of "fashion glasses" because they "look cool", and she walks around with either a Doctor Who encyclopedia or a Marvel Essentials under her arm all day long. If I had done any one of those types of things, I'd have gotten my ass beat worse than I was already getting. Kids these days just don't know how good they have it...

In high school, I can remember trying to hide a comic I had bought iside a notebook when some @$$hole types sat near me, and worrying the whole 45 minutes that they'd see it, b/c it couldn't quite fit in all the way because the notebook was spiral-bound.
Pretty soon after that, though, I just said feck it and ran up my freak flag.

I just posted my thoughts on this over in "What modern comic have you read lately?". To summarize: Nick Spencer is a douchebag.

Thanks guys. I haven't read new books in a while, but remember Spencer when he was just "that guy" on Bendis' forum, so his actions really don't surprise me at all.

I made the horrible mistake of going out and getting some exercise tonight. Time to retreat back into the soft life of academia.

An interesting fact I read earlier today: Dracula was first published on this day in 1897. I'm actually currently reading that book for the first time (it's quite interesting so far).

Find-a da Pope inna pizza. Not for nothing, but this actor made a nice living out of playing one character his whole life. Not the Pope, but I used to sell a Holy Mother of Guadalupe phone card very similar to this picture for the Mexican / Latin market.
