For when my rants on the forums just aren’t enough: https://thevindicativevordan.tumblr.com/
American Eagle debuted in 1981 in Marvel Two-In-One.

Sam debuted in 1969.

So, there was nothing stopping them calling Sam "American Eagle" when he was created. Yeah, it wouldn't make sense to rename him that now, but I don't think that's what was being suggested.

we know our inaction and inertia
will be the inheritance of the next generation
Our blunders become their burdens
But one thing is certain:
If we merge mercy with might,
and might with right,
then love becomes our legacy
and change our children’s birthright
So let us leave behind a country
better than the one we were left with.

I present the “radical left”. A sentiment worthy of Steve Rogers.
“We’ve learned that quiet isn’t always peace and the norms and notions of what just is, isn’t always justice.”
Love to see Tochi Onyebuchi’s take on Sam include Bradley’s legacy. 3E531DB6-76DE-4FE9-B9C3-3F748ED61C18.jpg

"The Marvel EIC Chair has a certain curse that goes along with it: it tends to drive people insane, and ultimately, out of the business altogether. It is the notorious last stop for many staffers, as once you've sat in The Big Chair, your pariah status is usually locked in." Christopher Priest

I like the Isaiah story as a cautionary tale of the evils that government can perpetrate...such as the Tuskegee Experiments and the FBI's COINTELPRO and all it's failures. And in his condition Isaiah is really not going to be at the forefront of anything unless you tell an 'untold tale' of his past. But agree that Josiah and Eli need to be more prominent.
How is it making me grumpy? I make no apologies for preferring Peter as Spider-man, Clark as Superman and Bruce as Batman and so on. You start doubling up and the originals are no longer unique or special. That's just my preference. But you obviously can't have an opinion on these boards anymore.
