New Captain America iteration Aaron Fischer will be marvel’s first openly gay core character.

Before anyone goes nuts, he’s not “replacing” Steve. There have been over twenty people who took on the role of Cap, including Jeffrey Mace, John Walker, and Sam Wilson. Cap’s been black, female, what have you. So people getting angry about PC culture don’t understand Captain America’s 80 year history. It was controversial when Isaiah Bradley took up the mantle and those people can shut up too.

Basically, Aaron Fischer will be to Cap as Miles Morales is to Spidey.

But this is a first appearance in a core Marvel property, so even if you don’t usually collect comics, this is going to be a cover you want to snag. Comic books are a better investment than stocks. First prints of this cover will be valuable. Plus, if this series sells well, that means they WILL make more and your issue will be worth more.

Support small business and hit up your local comic book store. Tell them you want to subscribe to June’s Captain America, and they will set aside issues for you when they come in. Subscriptions are FREE to reserve at most LCBS.

Last note, do not feel the need to slab your issues yet, but please make sure you bag and board.

Enjoy your gay Captain America, guys. Can’t wait to get it!
