subsidiary’s first original feature film adapts Norman Miller’s book, The Great Salad Oil Swindle. Sneak Peek: Uncanny X-Men #140.The recently-launched Strong Studios has acquired rights to Alec Sokolow’s script The Tank Job, setting the Oscar nominee as the film’s director.Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty #5 Review.Fantastic Four #48 (1966) Retro Review (Silver Surfer and Galactus’ first appearance).To sum it up: Don’t feel like you HAVE to get it if you’re just along for the Empyre story, but you SHOULD get it if you want an old school Cap one shot. The art is generally good, some indistinct faces in places and some wonky disappearing backgrounds in places, but nothing that took me out of the story, but Olivetti’s Cap is always crisp and pops off the page. It’s been a while since we’ve seen that, even in his own book. It’s really nice to see Cap inspiring people, making them feel important, and generally acting heroically. We get all the classic Steve Rogers hits without it feeling forced. If you happen to be a Cap fan anyway, it’s actually a very good standalone Cap story. FINAL THOUGHTSĪs a one-shot tie into a very big event, do you need to read this issue? Probably not if you’re in it for just the Empyre storyline. What is it about men in uniform? We close the issue with Shi Qaanth, near Mexico City, monologuing again and making a big Salad Man. Cap pulls a Cap and enlists the ragtag infantry to help out where they’re needed and disobey his orders.įinally, remember Bennett and that weird tendril from earlier? The General gets a dose this time, as Bennett vomits up a vine and violates The General. It’s everyone’s fight! The General declines to take Cap’s suggestion and orders him to await further instructions. Cap meets up with General Woodley- technically his boss and ranking officer- and makes an impassioned, Captain America esque speech about how everyone needs to work together, and it’s not just the USA’s fight. What Cap really needs though is a ride to the Pentagon in the Wakandan hovercraft he borrowed from T’Challa at some point. Just wait until this scene hits the NSFW tube sites! Why exactly didn’t the soldier literally trained to shoot the heavy artillery think to shoot the biggest salad person in the head? We’ll never know, but before they make like a tree and… leaf… a weird tendril violates Bennett from the infantry. Somehow that’s all it took to turn back the mighty Cotati “Salad People” army. You’d pay extra to fit that on a business card! Things aren’t looking good for the battalion until Cap arrives, and while Shi Qaanth monologues, Cap helpfully tells the gunner to shoot the big bad guy in the head. We’re never explicitly told what rank he would be, but his name is Shi Qaanth and has a cumbersome title of “mightiest of the Cotati, most beloved of Lord Quoi”. After we are all on the same page, we see an unknown infantry unit near Arlington facing off against The Cotati and their leader. At any rate, it’s one page and gives you all you need to know. It’s probably a fair guess you have since you’re holding in your hands a one-shot tie into said event. We start out with the briefest of recaps in case you haven’t been keeping up with Empyre. The United States Vs The Salad People: The Cotati has arrived, and the latest attack on every corner of the earth… the likes of which haven’t been seen since the last attack on every corner of the Earth (War Of The Realms, anyone?).We zoom into this issue to Cap leading a group of soldiers to the Pentagon and facing off against his REAL arch-nemesis: bureaucracy! Do you need to read it? More importantly, is it worth reading? Let’s dive in and have a look.
