What a long, strange trip it’s been in the pages of Avengers. Poor Steve Rogers has been hurdled through time, yet again, but this is directly because of the time gem, of infinity gem fame.

Needless to say, I’ve learned the error of my ways. Here are the best Captain America comics on Marvel Unlimited: [Read more…] about The Best of Captain America Comics in Marvel Unlimited
The Netflix Guide to Captain America
It’s been less than a year since I put together the all-time guide to superhero shows and movies on Netflix. Quite a bit of show availability has changed in that time, including Marvel’s Captain America movie (no longer with us).
As it stands, this makes Captain America viewing a little less clear prior to the April 4 release of Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier. The following represents the best shows and movies involving Cap currently available on Netflix Instant Streaming. [Read more…] about The Netflix Guide to Captain America
