This week, the fan-favorite Daredevil creative team of Mark Waid and Chris Samnee bring Captain America out of Secret Empire and into “Legacy.” And despite the initiative’s focus on the past, Waid and Samnee are all about moving Steve Rogers forward - out of Hydra, and out of New York.

Starting with November 1’s Captain America #695, Rogers will leave the big city to get back in touch with the heartland of America. Newsarama spoke to Waid and Samnee on the eve of the issue’s release to find out what it takes to get Steve Rogers back in America’s good graces, and whether they’ll answer the question of Steve’s redemption.

Captain America #696

Captain America working for Hydra?!!!! How long did that last. Plus. It also reminds me of Superman walking across America.

Pretty boring cover art, especially #696. Seems like all the great comic book artists are gone, or else working for Marvel’s Distinguished Competition.

Mark Waid: 'Every superhero you love' is a SJW

Alt★Hero Celebrates Record Crowdfunding

After reaching its initial funding goal in only four hours, a new right-wing comics series, Alt★Hero, concluded its historic crowdfunding campaign by reaching the $245,000 mark. 2,190 backers signed on to help the alternative superhero series wage cultural war on the social justice-converged comic duopoly of Marvel and DC Comics.

Alt★Hero is being written by prolific Marvel and DC Comics veteran writer Chuck Dixon and six-time Hugo Award Finalist Vox Day. It will be published by Castalia House, Finland's leading independent publisher.

The series is the creation of game designer Day, who is best known for being a member of GamerGate and publishing the political philosophy bestsellers SJWs Always Lie and SJWs Always Double Down. Alt★Hero features unconventional villains such as Captain Europa of the Global Justice Initiative and controversial heroes such as Michael Martel, a vigilante who drops off criminal undocumented immigrants at the local Immigration and Customs Enforcement office, and Rebel, an Southern girl whose superhero outfit incorporates the Confederate battle flag.

The breakout star of the campaign, however, has been Dynamique, a chain-smoking French model whose indifference to current events is only surpassed by her pragmatism.

"This is only the beginning," said Alt★Hero creator Vox Day, who is writing six volumes of the series as well as co-designing the role-playing game. "Fans and retailers alike despise how Marvel and DC are trashing characters they have cherished for generations. That is why it's not going to be too long before you're going to start seeing Alt★Hero games, and eventually, movies."

"I have an entire year's worth of continuity funded to build a cast of characters in a brand new universe. Very inspiring, Very exciting," said industry legend Chuck Dixon, the longtime Batman writer and co-creator of Bane, who is writing the first six volumes of the Alt★Hero series Avalon as well as a standalone novel entitled Avalon: Vendetta. "The city of Avalon is already a very real place in my mind. I think readers are going to enjoy visiting."

"Astonishing demand," added journalist Mike Cernovich on Twitter in response to the news that Alt★Hero had shattered the previous record for a new comic being crowdfunded.

In reaching 978 percent of its original $25,000 goal, the Alt★Hero crowdfunding campaign was the most successful in history for a new comics launch, and is the 22nd most-funded of the 10,553 historic comics-related crowdfunding campaigns.

We'll disagree, #695 is very much old school which the issue is trying to convey, while #696 is highly unique because Captain America is posed with a sword instead of his famous shield.

Perhaps #697 is less boring for you:

Comic book Heroes believe in justice?
Such as including so-called social justice?
Shocked!

[Berlin_Freeper]

I didn’t see a threat of any kind.
Your snowflake mileage may vary.

That looks interesting. For about three pages.

I post information, you reply with ad hominems. Nice.

[Berlin_Freeper]

That's OK, didn't expect a reasoned response from a snowflake upset about someone wanting to meet a person at a convention where people go to, you know... meet people.

You're welcome.

[yuleeyahoo]

Rational discussions are not your strong suit I see.

[Berlin_Freeper]

I challenged your information that you can’t stand up for.

Rational on that.

I read your links and responded to them. You need to specifically show me where someone is "inciting violence". As for harassment... This is where we are back to snowflake. People wanting to meet people at a convention is now "harassment".

Thanks for the spam though.
