Fighting American from Titan Comics (spoilers, i suppose)
any takers? #1 came out about two weeks ago.
i wasn't aware of kirby/simon's fighting american until rob liefeld got the rights to the character in the 90s and published a few mini-series through his awesome comics line.
this new series is nothing like liefeld's version, it plucks the fighting american and his sidekick speedboy out of the 50s and spits them out into 2017 w/ the fish-out-of-water routine. FA and speedboy don't understand modern technology. most people on the streets think they're cosplayers. hijinx ensue.

I think the real value here is the emergence of any Simon related property. In this day and age I don't see how the wide eyed and bushy tailed era of Kirby/Simon America could be extrapolated to today's dreary meltdown but with a good writer with a talent for biting satire maybe it could work. This property certainly would be easier to work with than Simon's Fly but we will have to see. I'm not too crazy about the idea of Speedboy but it is what it is. Would have like to have had Palmiotti and Grey on this but everybody hated their take on Uncle Sam and the Freedom Fighters. So it goes. I'll have to pick this up soon.
