 Archive for the 'Captain America' CategoryUltimate Origins #2 (preview)July 8th, 2008, 11:51 am by Shawn MunguiaThis is basically Marvel Comics‘ Ultimate Captain America origin story and it’s almost identical to the mainstream caps story. There are a few minor changes but for the most part it’s the story we almost all know. Still, the story is well told and those little differences are fun little geek moments. Theres’ also something about a post with a red eye thingy, akin to HAL from “2001” that will likely feature heavily in the overall story. The book is well worth a read.

Check out the preview, then get a copy of the book to find out who the surprise trainer was. Trust me, you’ll dig it.
