So I read some comics this week.

Let's get the RAGE POST out of the way first.

I have been enjoying Miles Morales' story in Ultimate Spider-man. He's a wee adorable middle-schooler who shouldn't have to deal with the problems being a superhero - let alone being Spider-man, in the shadow of Peter Parker's tragic death - brings, but he's trying to

I have a feeling that Ultimate Cap is gonna RUIN EVERYTHING AGAIN. It seems he hasn't learned a DAMN THING from his interactions with Peter before. And it annoys me that Miles's meeting with May was crashed by that douchecanoe.

Seriously, HOW DARE HE? WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS? Ugh. I hate that guy so much! He doesn't even deserve to share the name Steve Rogers with his 616 counterpart. Ugh.

Before I read Ultimates, you could not have convinced me that there was a version of Captain America I wouldn't like.

And yet there's one that I not only dislike, I hate so much I want him to die like 616!Cap but NOT COME BACK. His arrogance and self-centerdness and just...EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM is gross and vile and HE IS NOT A GOOD PERSON.

EXACTLY. When I read Ultimates (ugh and I wish I hadn't), I was like, but I don't understand! How is this douche Steve Rogers? HOW DID THEY TAKE THE CORE DECENCY OF THE CHARACTER AND JUST TOSS IT AWAY LIKE USED TISSUES? WHO WOULD DO THAT? WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? MARK MILLAR, I AM LOOKING AT YOU.

HE NEEDS TO DIE. LET THERE BE ULTIMATE ELI BRADLEY WHO CAN COME IN AND BE CAPTAIN AMERICA AND BE A FORCE FOR DECENCY AND GOODNESS.

UGH YES I LIKE THIS IDEA. Seriously when you take a character like Cap and make him MORE OF AN ASSHOLE THAN TONY STARK, something is very wrong.

FOR REAL. Ultimate Tony (and I think Ultimate Thor?) were the only characters I didn't hate after reading that shitshow.

Bring on Ultimate Eli for Cap!
