Why would there be a single Initiative member in Alaska when two of the X-Men's biggest battles over the past couple years have happened in Alaska...

I wasn't to keen when Supreme Power got watered down into the current Squadron Supreme. I also wasn't happy when it was canned in the middle of a storyline. Having said that, I'll try the first few issues to see what Chaykin does with this title.

Glad to see the comments from the voicemail segment. Both of my favorites were mentioned. Cap and the fabulous Walking Dead (that reminds me, # 50 is due out today...gotta get to my LCS!)

How 'bout Dolph Lundgren as Cap? I can hear him now,"I must break you."

Daniel "I think James bond is ready for a gay scene" Craig as Captain America? The guy is also a Brit. WTF are you thinking pete. F's sake.

Dug on the art that you guys showed for Superman #677. I may have to look into a copy when I go to the comic shop next week. Hellcat #1 seems somewhat "manga-like" to me and I don't dig on manga, really. Sounds like you guys found something about it you each liked, however. Probably won't pick it up. Squadron Supreme didn't interest me too much either and I came close to putting it on my pull-list. Loved the J. Michael Straczynski run.

As for who should play Captain America?

I vote for Justin!!!

Justin Tyler a.k.a Captain America: Sentinel of Puberty!!!!! (just effin' with ya', Justin)

To tell the truth, I'd always been a Paul Walker as Cap guy. It'd have to be someone about his size (the suit would also bulk him up even bigger too) in the Avengers flick when he's next to Thor (who should be bigger than Cap).
I have, however, changed that opinion of Walker as Cap to thinking more toward an unknown.

All I know is that Matthew McConaughey wouldn't work as Cap. He'd really have to do something about the accent. I just don't see Wooderson from Dazed And Confused (one of my all-time favorite flicks) as Cap.

Snippet of dialogue from the Captain America movie starring Matthew McConaughey:

Cap (to Bucky): You cain't do what ever'one else tells ya' what ta do. You gotta' do what Buchannan "Bucky" Barnes wants ta do!!!

Livin'!!! L-I-V-I-N'!!!!!!!

This Hellcat your reviewing....yeah I dont care if the art is great (which it is)...there is no reason to pick it up. BTW I think Pete ment that we have yet to see a lot of Initative teams so it's 'finally' great to see another team develop. Still, how much adventures can you have in Alaska? For Robinson's Superman....meh it was okay, not spectular, but okay. I mean it's pretty gutsy to start an arc with that dog for the first couple of pages. But I'm sure Robinson has big plans for this title and it's his first issue. Hell Geoff John's Action Comics started slow, now it's a big fucking thing!

As for the Captain America role, someone said it on the forums and I agree, how bout Mark Walburg? Sure he's a Boston guy and not a New Yorker, but he looks like him, and he's been a pretty good actor. It shouldnt be too hard to buff him up for the part, since he's done some action movies. There really isnt anyone else I can think of to play the part. Marvel is getting HUGE actors to play these characters, but they have run out of Oscar Nominated actors eventually. Dont be surprised if it could be an unknown actor playing this.

Oh and for Ultimate Spider-Man: Nothing makes me laugh more then that whole Forest Gump reference. Venom as Gump? Priceless.

I was abit surprised that you guys didn,t comr up with better chioces for who should play captain america. When you think of cap you have go all american like Jared Padalecki of Supernatural or Tahmoh Penikett Josh Hartnet also theres a lot of talk about Leonardo DiCaprio who has been playing alot of tough character roles of late the Departed Blood Diamond these are the type of actors i think marvel will thinking about not brits not missing links like titan actualy come to think of it if he can act just a little bit he would make a desent thor anyway i like the show a lot keep up the great work.

Well looks like I won't be checking out Squadron Supreme after all. I was really hoping they'd be able to get back some of magic JMS did with that title. As for Cap? Mark-Paul Gosselaar. I'm serious. Alex's suggestion of Titan isn't bad either. Although him in the Cap costume would just remind me of Rob Liefeld's run.

Why hello Patsy Walker, welcome to my pull list.

It was good to see Pete channeling me with his "What is going on? Why are we talking about this?" which is pretty much the question I ask every show...you guys must just pull comics out of a big box while blindfolded, and the box is full of crappy comics.

As for Captain America, I think it should be an unknown as well. I think Afleck proved it's just too distracting to have a well known actor in that half mask.

So, what happened to the WANTED review? You guys do half a show about how you are going to see it, and then never talk about it?

And what, no Dark Knight sneak preview? Everyone in the media has seen this already, what happened? There is HUGE Oscar buzz about Ledger's Joker performance, and Kevin Smith says in his blog "It’s the “Godfather II” of comic book films and three times more earnest than “Batman Begins” (and fuck, was that an earnest film). Easily the most adult comic book film ever made. Heath Ledger didn’t so much give a performance as he disappeared completely into the role"

Casting Captain America: Aaron Eckhart.

I understand that he's already in The Dark Knight and may stay in peoples' minds as Two Face, but he's perfect for the role. Blond-haired, blue-eyed, square-jaw-cleft-ching, All American good looking guy. Plus he's a great actor. Get this guy in a Cap uniform STAT.

probably the best choice for captain america would be an unknown actor. but if i had to pick an A-list actor, then why not Brad Pitt. he's a good actor.

Here's a show idea/suggestion I think everyone could get behind.

Have a contest guessing what the Opening Weekend Box Office numbers will be for Dark Knight.

I think that Brad Beyer from Jericho would be a good choice to play Captain America. He's big, athletic and I think he could really pull off a good hearted, patriotic Cap.

I am completely on board for Robinsons Superman run! I was horribly disappointed in Astonishing X-Men this week, ugh it was barely readable. Tons of dialogue, yet I come away from it learning only that Scott and Emma fuck a lot, Orror and Panther fuck a lot, and Beast and agent Brand fuck on goverment time and get paid for it. Also Pete read Final Crisis, you not reading it is lowering the quality of the shows when it is reviewed, i will pay Alex the 1 Million, but read it, because we want to hear your opinion

I have to go with the sheriff from Eureka. Hes tall, blond, and looks awesome

The best case scenario would be to cast an unknown as Captain America. It worked with Christopher Reeves as Superman and we know Hollywood loves to copy a successful formula. A cool "Falcon" would not hurt either.

Mark Valley, from Boston Legal would make a pretty good cap. If not him, I'd go with an unknown.
