CBR: Milestones: Tom Brevoort Talks Captain America

[CBR News]

With "Captain America" #50 in stores next week and issue #600 hitting next month, it's a good time to speak with editor Tom Brevoort about what fans can expect from these back-to-back milestone issues.

Of all the interviews he's had about Cap #600 NOT ONE person has asked about the elepant in the room: Will Cap be $4 after 601? Why the hell hasn't anyone - Newsarama, CBR, IGN - asked this question. Am the only one curious? Tell me, am I THE ONLY ONE CURIOUS? WTF?

I like the idea of past writers coming to update us on their supporting characters. They should do that more. Stern already revisited Fred Sloane a couple of years ago. They didn't get JM DeMatteis for this anniversary issue and that's a pity since he had a long run (can't remember if he created supporting characters who are still alive, he used Dave Cox which Brubaker used in #49).

Thats nearly 200 pages of Cap in three months! Awesome!

I'm a Cap fan and I don't feel nearly as enthused. The fact the're hinting so strongly at Steves return and these upcoming issues will be either flashback of single issue stories has me feeling careless towards this title. The Sharon Carter issue really killed whatever momentum and appeal the series had for me.

I just got to reading #49 and it wasn't all that bad. Simple story telling and the ending was excellent. I hope the rumors about a female Cap are proven false though. Brubaker's original story is the only thing keeping coming back to Marvel these days.

Female Cap? Where did this come from?

Don't give Marvel any incentive.

This book is worth it.

For $3? Sure. For $5? NEVER!

Great writing, great art, out on time, constantly entertaining, all of these, to me, make it worth that.

This book is worth it.

...It's thinking like that, son, that'll eventually get the publishers believing that all books should be that overpriced. Don't give them any fracking ideas, please. Comics are too extorted as it is!

Do you even know what the word extortion means?

Are you talking about paying that much money for a standard 32 page comic or the double sized books coming up? For if its the latter you're still out of your mind!
