Unspoken Issues #146 - Fighting American #1

from The Source Material Comics Podcast · host W2M Network

BOOM! It's the 4th of July and the Unspoken Issues crew is going full red, white, and rad with one of the most EXTREME patriotic comics of the 90s—Fighting American #1 by none other than Rob Liefeld! You voted, and this blast of stars-and-stripes action beat out Legend of the Shield in a close fan poll, so we're diving headfirst into pouches, plasma blasts, and patriotic smackdown! Jesse, Chris, and Evan crank the nostalgia meter to 11 as they break down the over-the-top action, killer character designs, and the wild behind-the-scenes drama that brought Fighting American back to life. We’re talkin’ Liefeld’s lost Captain America dreams, legal battles with Marvel, and the birth (and near-death) of Agent America! And yeah, there's a sidekick named S.P.I.C.E. who's basically a cyber-Bucky with sass and style for days! From Cold War flashbacks to Skull Island showdowns, from unthrowable shields to Terminator-style villains, this issue is a time capsule of everything that made 90s comics LOUD, PROUD, and totally UNHINGED. If you love your comics with exaggerated muscles, infinite ammo, and enough attitude to fill a double-page spread—this one’s for YOU!So grab your USA fanny pack, slap on those wraparound shades, and tune in for a righteous ride through the most patriotic punch-fest of the decade. Let’s GOOOOO!
