Can Blade stand toe to toe with Wolverine?

It can be a good fight, but Wolverine would most likely win the majority. It's hard to keep him down and his claws will have more effect than Blade's blade

1. So, I don't follow comics much, but I did follow Civil War. I was shocked and embarrased to see what they did to Punisher's character. They straight eviscerated any masculinity he had by having him be Cap's bitch. My question is did Marvel ever do anything or will they ever do anything to restore some respectability to Frank Castle? Can't they just retcon that shit out of Marvel canon and pretend it never happened?

that actually was in Frank's character. Most of these heroes view Cap as some kind of heroic god, even Spiderman gets goofy around him. Frank, being a soldier himself, heard numerous stories about Cap and has been able to witness him in action, so he is in awe around him.

2. Speaking of retcon, how has the new Spider-Man story progressed since they retconned out MJ and Peter Parker's marriage?

It's ok, although there are some who don't like the direction.

Ehhhh I would like it more if they hadn't made her a Summers or connected her to the Phoenix/Jean. I mean she's going to have something to do with Jean being reincarnated which takes a lot of surprise out of what you can do with her.

agreed, I was hoping the mutant savior would be someone other than a Jean Grey clone, although Hope seems to be more like Rogue with her abilities..pulling powers out her ass. For a minute there, I thought Nate would be the savior, but I haven't seen anything of him since being locked up by Osborn (?)

Naw I haven't been readin BP: Man Without Fear. Im just glad Marvel is realizing they can do BP without Hudlin.

Even though Hudlin had a few issues of "what is this guy thinking" in his arcs, I'll give him props for bringing BP more to the forefront. He followed up on Priets' writing decently, although I believe Priest was the g.o.a.t. BP writer

I used to be a huge Surfer fan as a kid, but I haven't read any of his solo series (ive been meaning to pick the Annihilators series tho).

hopefully the team book is cool. They're so overpowered, Marvel will have to be creative with their villians for that team

Frankie wasn't a solider, he was a Marine.

That makes me depressed. I really hope that star-struck, pie in the sky attitude isn't part of the Garth Ennis portrayal.

Ok, much of my comic book knowledge comes from the TV shows. So I dunno myuch about Cap America b/c he never had his own series. My question is what Cap America so revered in the Marvel Universe? Specifically, give me a moment in comic book history where you were like, "Damn, Captain America is the truth."

Also, what is going on with Captain America now? I know Steve Rogers came back from the dead, but has he assumed the mantle again, or is it still Bucky?

whew

I'll say............

and Cap is Marvel's first big "super hero" was even used as an inspiration for American WW2 fighters back in the 1940's

also he's had about 3 monthly ongoing titles to his name and countless mini series. When written correctly he is indeed "The truth". In the same vein as Batman because he has to no actuallly powers but has fought and defeated others who do, purely threw superior strategy and tactics .

Bucky is still acting as Cap......the writing is just that good, most fans felt it'll do the over-all story line a dis-service to just change it right now.

But once that live action movie drops......IDK
