We try to break our cold opening record (I don’t think we quite made it). https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/download/yyqdxg/FDIC_0083_1.mp3 Some feel good news about a couple who got some really nice wedding photos, some random news about live action Mulan, and then Brandon tells us why wrestling is just objectively better than anything you’re watching right now.

Writer: Ta-Nehisi Coates / Artist: Bob Quinn / Marvel Comics
Captain America #21 is a mostly by-the-numbers Captain America comic that is essentially everything bad about by-the-numbers Captain America comics. There’s a lot happening here in this book and almost none of it is even remotely interesting.
First off, I appreciate a slow burn as much as the next guy, but this book didn’t seem to progress the story much further from the obligatory “story so far” synopsis on the credits page. I’m pretty sure I downloaded my 32-GB Call of Duty update at faster speeds than this story moves. And there are either pivotal or terrible things that just get glazed over like nothing.
One of the first things we see in this comic is Alexander Lukin and his wife casually overseeing a dark skinned person being auctioned off in some sort of human trafficking trade, and it’s only acknowledged once in a quippy exchange. There’s a flesh trade depicted in 2020’s social climate and it’s in the background of a phone conversation. And then there’s all the kooky magic lore that (I’m guessing here) that I highly doubt fans read this comic for. Captain America seems highly effective when he’s punching Nazis or speaking truth to power with a good old-fashioned shield to the face.
Movies like Winter Soldier proved that Cap is essentially the ultimate action hero, but this story feels convoluted with all the kooky magic lore and soul stealing. Now, it’s not fair to lay this at Ta-Nehisi Coates’ doorstep because this sort of thing has gone on since long before his tenure, but #21 makes it so glaring that it’s a rough read. As for the artwork, there’s something all too plain about Bob Quinn’s pencils here. Although it’s mostly the script’s fault, and not his, that nothing really happens in this issue, there still isn’t much that truly jumps off of the panels or excites the senses.
Bottom Line: It’s a well-meaning story, but there’s too much involved for us to still have so many questions in such a stagnant chapter in this bizarre story. Even the most exciting parts could have been extra “director’s cut” pages in another issue. It’s a no from me.
Here we go! Like a Nike ad, let's just do it! Welcome to a new and "freshly baked" installment from the Afronerd Radio engine, better known as Wednesday's Mid Week in Review, airing 8pm eastern on your friendly neighborhood BTalk 100 platform. Join your favorite (or is that only) AFROnerdist broadcasters as they wax about the following (mid) weekly topics: friend of the show (and convention circuit....if we have those again..sigh) and noted animator/graphic novelist, Dedren Snead (Sorghum & Spear) stops by to discuss a number of projects he has in the works-one of which is the launch of Subsume Media; per usual, we try to pick up some of the issues we couldn't cover from the last Grindhouse show; more thoughts about Netflix' Umbrella Academy S2; yet another horror story involving what appears to be the mistreatment of a black family mistakenly handcuffed (children forced to lay on the ground in the summer heat!) and held at gunpoint by Aurora, CO police;
So folks (including actor Ryan Reynolds and his bride, Blake Lively) just deduced that maybe getting married on a former slave plantation isn't as bucolic as it seems, huh?; in the aftermath of Hollywood enacting a type of voice acting realignment concerning animated portrayals in the media, some "voices" from The Simpsons are weighing in on the issue (from MarySue.com); it looks like Mulan is heading for Disney plus after all....for a price on September 4th (how long will it take for Disney/Marvel's Black Widow to get the same deal?); Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and ex-wife, Dany Garcia buy the XFL for purportedly $15 million; so as Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. comes to close after seven seasons, how will the famed and fictional clandestine organization continue thematically as the MCU continues on the silver screen?; thoughts about Beyonce's Black is King visual album:
Dburt asks...is anyone prepped to do our own Harlem Black Comic Book festival in a virtual format (a la SDCC and the more recently announced, NYCC?); And lastly, Comicbook.com pontificates on where the animated Avatar "Airbender" franchise can go in the future. Call in LIVE at 508-645-0100.
"I can tell by the masks that you're bad guys. Nice touch. Almost intimidating. But the minivan ruins the effect. Maybe that's how y'all do it here in New Orleans, but the rest of the world--New York, Madripoor, Boise--the bad guys don't roll up in minivans. And there ain't but three of you. A van that big can comfortably seat eight. Seems like you don't take your villainy serious."-Power Man (Luke Cage)
