This Week In Spandex
Written by Nicholas Yanes on February 8, 2010 – 1:10 pm -This week was a light week for me and I had a hard time deciding what book to review. The Invincible Iron Man # 23 had a great scene involving Pepper Potts and Maria Hill both revealing to each that they had both slept with Tony Stark. I finally got Green Lantern #50 and it was awesome. And Siege #2 was great, but it seems like everyone is covering it. With all that said, I went with Cable this week.
Cable #23- “Homecoming” Part 3 – Chapter Six: Girls with Guns & Chapter Seven: Baby, You’re Out of Time
- Writer: Duane Swierczynski
- Artist: Gabriel Guzman
Cable is coming to an end. Next issue will most likely feature Hope and Cable returning to the present Marvel Universe. Oddly though, there will be a 25th issue after that one, but it will be titled Deadpool and Cable for some odd reason.
This story arc follows the same structure as the others. Cable and Hope are jumping through time, and Bishop is still attempting to kill Hope. Nothing really new.

Captain America: Reborn #6- Writer: Ed Brubaker
- Artist: Bryan Hitch
- Publisher: Marvel Comics
Without a doubt, this was the book that I loved the most this week.
For those of you who have been living under a rock or have a social life, Steve Rogers was killed a few years ago. However, it was recently revealed that he was shot with a special gun that sent him bouncing around in time. Captain America: Reborn is the story of Steve Rogers being brought back to the present.

This Week In Spandex
Written by Nicholas Yanes on January 25, 2010 – 3:28 pm -I only got a few books this week and none of them particularly stood out. I was considering looking at big news stories involving comics, but I decided against that idea. In the end I decided to review Captain America #602. While Joe the Barbarian is absolutely beautiful to look at, everyone is reviewing it because it’s written by Grant Morrison.
Captain America #602- “Two Americas” Part 1
- Writer: Ed Brubaker
- Penciler: Luke Ross
- Company: Marvel Comics
Nancy Pfotenhauer is name that most people have never heard of. During the 2008 US Presidential Elections Pfotenhauer was the Senior Policy Advisor and National Spokesperson for John McCain. In an interview on MSNBC Pfotenhauer was asked that since northern Virginia had become so heavily Democratic is there a chance that a traditional Republican stronghold could be won by Obama. Pfotenhauer claimed that this would not be the case because southern Virginia, what she called “Real Virginia” would keep the state in favor of McCain. (The interview can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjY8A5IFYbg ).
