He says he received a letter from Joe Quesada, but considering the shield went missing. Stephen Colbert is actually a Supervillain! If you listen at the end he even says he will FIGHT FOR INJUSTICE! Appalling.

Stephen Colbert MUST BE STOPPED!

Official Press Release

Details are sketchy at this time, but a S.H.I.E.L.D. spokesperson has revealed that Captain America’s shield has gone missing.

It’s unclear who has taken the shield as no photographic evidence exists, but S.H.I.E.L.D. has issued an artistic rendering of the accused along with this statement. “S.H.I.E.L.D. is following several leads and we are working with the cooperation of New York City authorities to resolve this matter.” Un-named sources have spotted several S.H.I.E.L.D agents in and around television studios owned by Comedy Central.

One of the biggest questions is “Why?” Few have shown the strength, let alone have had the training, to properly wield the shield, so its use as a weapon seems negligible. If it was stolen to act as a trophy, then it must be taken back and placed in a museum proper. Whatever the reason, whosoever has the shield now will have much to answer for, particularly in these tumultuous times.

With just one of the two shooters believed to be behind the killing of Captain America in custody, this new wrinkle in the Cap case has the country even further on edge and authorities scrambling to find the famous shield.

The shield, granted to Captain America by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1942 is composed of several virtually indestructible–yet classified–metallic alloys. Though not his first shield, Cap famously used this circular weapon as both a rallying force for U.S. troops, as well as to battle Nazis prior to his disappearance at the end of World War II. Upon his reemergence decades later, the shield followed with him.

More than 60 years after its creation, the shield remains a symbol of American strength and will. With the country still reeling from Captain America’s death, the location and security of the shield has become a priority for authorities from S.H.I.E.L.D. to local police.

Cohost Matt is back as we talk about the resolution of Civil War. What happens in Captain America 25 and where we think the Marvel books are headed in the short term.

*WARNING* THIS IS A SPOILER FILLED EPISODE, so if you have not read the end of civil war, Captain America 25, Thunderbolts 110 and 111, and the solicitation information for Black Panther, some upcoming story elements may be spoiled.

Today, Captain America 25 came out, and like Civil War #2, this book had a big media response outside of just the insular comics world resulting in spoilers abounds. Luckily I’m not one to really care about spoilers, but if I did, I involuntarily ran into the MAJOR spoiler for this issue at least already 4 times today. Of course, I work in media so I may be a bit more prone to hearing things I wouldn’t otherwise, but still these were very open media outlets. And still, even though I knew the spoiler, I was still surprised to hear it in so many places.
So, is Big Media Coverage a good thing forth the growth of comics or is it just an annoyance for those that want to discover the stories in the pages of the comic?
