Is Brubaker Leaving Captain America?

[Songbird/Diamondback]

This makes me sad but I grew up on Brubaker's Cap and it has been an amazing influence on my life. I love this guy and will continue supporting him wherever he goes. Super stoked that he's staying on Winter Soldier for the long haul though.

God, I pray that happens. Please, skylord, pleeeeeeeeease!

I'm not so keen on Remender joining. Cap's supporting cast is small enough as it is, and he'll probably kill it all.

I get that but Remender is someone who would come in and cause a major change in the status quo. I absolutely love Sharon and Sam being in nearly every issue but when Bru leaves, I don't want to see someone come in who's gonna mimic the tone of his Cap. Remender will come in and seriously shake stuff up which is the best possible thing to happen after a legend on the book leaves. Plus, with as dark as Remender likes to write, there would be some really enthralling stuff for a huge character like Cap.

Honestly, I don't know. I mean, you can probably guess which character I'm worried about. I just am tired of depressing stories. (Look at what happened to Toxin).

On another board. They said that this guy predicted Remender off Venom, Bru off Cap, and Human Fly coming back, and they all happened. So, looks like Remender.

Please let this be true. I'll write a check with my name on it, Marvel can write in whatever amount they like.

And if Opena is there!? OMG...

Haha, fair enough. I think you're obsession with her just has you worried. She's only temporarily relevant anyway. And who knows, maybe Remender will kill Sharon and bring her in full time

And for good reasons! If she's dead, she's gone!

I've never been able to jump on the Remender bandwagon, but I can certainly see why people like him.

For me he's doing very safe, very simple plot driven work. Similar to what Johns puts out at DC.

It would be sad to see him go if he did leave he's made Bucky one of my favorite characters. But if he did leave I'd like him to get a shot at a Spider-man main title after Slott's done, he's even mentioned that's the one title he'd love to write.

Here's the article were he mentions it

creator owned . . . sounds like he's mad about how disney orders ruined his cap stories.

No he clearly stated that he didn't really have much more of a story to tell of Captain America. And this most likely been coming from the interview that rastafarian42 posted.

What Marvel is doing after AVX has to be big, and he know his own books do very well.

If you find Remender safe and simple, you've never read an entire arc by him.

No, I have. I've read every issue of his X Force, for instance, and every issue thus far of his Secret Avengers. I read his All New Atom arc, some of his End League and some of his Fear Agent. A few scattered issues of his early Punisher stuff as well.

I've read a decent amount of his stuff.

I'd argue that killing and violence are very 'safe' things to do in comics. Geoff Johns does a lot of those things, Mark Millar does a lot of that, and both of them write very safe books as well.

When I say safe and simple, I'm referring to the kinds of narrative or thematic risks they are taking. Gillen isn't killing anywhere near as many people in the course of his work at Marvel, but I'd argue his work is much riskier and FAR more complex than Remender's more classic angsty plot driven stuff.

It's a personal opinion thing that the guys who are modeling themselves on Marv Wolfman and Chris Claremont don't really excite me. I'm not maligning anyone who prefers that kind of stuff, it's just not for me anymore. I've grown a bit tired of it.

He put a slug in a kid's head Yeah that is safe

[Codah]

*1st arc of X-Force*

I don't find shooting a kid in the face to be safe. Also, with X-Force, I'd consider 1-18 the whole story. It's compartmentalized because it has to be but each arc is just another part of an 18 part story.
