Steve’s speech, part 3:
Anyway Marvel Snapshots Captain America is a brilliantly written Cap story that gets the heart and empathy of the character, deals with real world issues, is poignant and thoughtful and also hopeful. 10/10 would recommend.
Written by Mark Russell and the art was by Ramon Perez.
The spider is always on the hunt.

Also, writer J.M. DeMatteis reposted an essay he wrote on Cap today. Here is the link.
Excerpt:“Rogers—to dip into movie lore once more—was the George Bailey of super heroes: a simple, honest man of inherent decency, who always struggled to do the right thing—no matter how difficult it was. He wasn’t concerned with ideologies or the politics of the moment. He was concerned with the American Dream. He believed, to the core of his being, in what America could be. Rogers was certainly well aware of the many times the United States had failed to live up to its own ideals—and those failures disheartened him—but he never gave up believing because his faith and hope weren’t invested in any elected official or political party. They were invested in the spiritual core of America: something deep and true and unchanging that lay beneath world affairs and shifting political currents.
To my mind, Captain America’s greatest power wasn’t the strength he gained from the super-soldier formula: it was the depth of his compassion, his caring. His belief in the revolutionary power of simple human decency.”
Their expressions here from the upcoming King in Black cracks me up:
