This was written by Robert Morales, writer of Truth, who was supposed to have a long run on the book in which he was going to have Captain America become president. It's an interesting idea, but Marvel was like, nah, let's cancel this book and have Christopher Priest write an incomprehensible Captain America & The Falcon book instead. So all you end up having is a good story revolving around Gitmo and innocent A-rab men being dragged through Havana, then three forgettable issues to close out the run. Oh right, and art by the amazing Chris Bachalo.

I'm writing a book about a superhero who drives drunk, tailgates on residential streets and hates gay people.
I'm gonna call it "Captain Dallas," and I think it'll sell better if it's only pictures.
im writing a comic about a superhero who writes about king lear non stop all the time and im gonna call it "Swing Low Sweet Internet"
Touché.
On Sitting Down to Read King Lear Once Again
by John Keats
O golden-tongued Romance with serene lute!
Fair pluméd Siren! Queen of far away!
Leave melodizing on this wintry day,
Shut up thine olden pages, and be mute:
Adieu! for once again the fierce dispute
Betwixt damnation and impassioned clay
Must I burn through; once more humbly assay
The bitter-sweet of this Shakespearean fruit.
Chief Poet! and ye clouds of Albion,
Begetters of our deep eternal theme,
When through the old oak forest I am gone,
Let me not wander in a barren dream,
But when I am consuméd in the fire,
Give me new Phoenix wings to fly at my desire.
What a homophobic poem, with its talk of "queens" and "fruits." I suspect it also normalizes arson.
i only like poems that dont rime and that r about a struggle with someones sectuality and race
identitty (lol) politics is what those are called
I agree. Morbidly obese one-eyed black transvestites have been silenced for far too long. How can poetry rhyme in a world that doesn't?
hey yall i decided to change my name again
i hope this doesnt comfuse all my fans
shld biker rapist be hyphenated\
Nope. You're good.
yeah it was down to this title or "Uncredited Law and Order SVU Incest Survivor (Scene 3)"
i think i made the right decision
Agreed.
Dunno. I think Biker-Rapist has a ring to it.
This isn't an ostentatiously colloquial prose exploration of pop-culturally savvy, gently self-loathing suburban psychology with a twist, this is REAL LIFE.
I'm better than John Keats because I've lived longer. Bam, Keats. Roasted.
We'll have to bleed you a bit before we know for sure.
Also I think this book is actually just called Homeland, so sorry about the confusion everyone.
We all knew that. We thought it was a joke.
