Texas,Teabags and Two Americas

It is rare for a comic to be both entertaining and relevant to today's social/political issues

Last week an angry Texan crashed his plane into a federal building killing himself and another person.  Apparently he had been battling with the I.R.S for years.
The comic Captain America features an evil doppelganger of Cap.  He is described as "crazy and brain washed", yet displays his angry at empty factories, lines of unemployment and failed promises of this great nation.  It also shows citizens in Idaho protesting against America's turn towards socialism.
You know, teabags and liberals.

Ed Brubaker is using a villain that is bad, yet shares the frustrations that most of us have.  This isn't Doctor Doom trying to take over the world.  This is an apple pie eating Captain America wanna be that wants America glorious.  But he is breaking laws and busting the heads of cops if they get in his way. 

This is a smart "super hero" comic that I hope you check out
