You know, for Troops.

Apparently, Marvel has done a special Avengers issue dedicated to The Troops. Written by Robert "Liefeld is the new Kirby" Kirkman.

I can't speak as to if the review writer knows about the Purple Healing Ray, but it's well done at least.

It’s telling, though, that the only example of successful superheroes-as-tribute that comes to mind isn’t even a narrative, but instead just a single image. Perhaps Marvel Comics would have done well to forego Time Trouble‘s weak tale in favor of a collection of stand-alone illustrations, though no Marvel characters pack quite the iconic or emotional punch that you get from Superman (not even, despite how appropriate he would be for such a cover image, Captain America.)

Nothing in that Marvel comic could possibly have been good enough - there just wasn't enough Superman in it.

Shame DC sends the troops Jack and Shit, isn't it?
