In promoting the presentation of the "new" Captain America, as this press release tells. And a Marvel spokesperson said:
And the part about the MSM being the ones who're interested is also confusing, since press and public are really 2 different things. Not to mention that the only reason why they really gulped it down in the first place was because it was about a character dying, in a story that stemmed from one that was no good to begin with.
We asked Marvel spokesperson Jim McCann for comment on the anticipated coverage. He said: "This is a really big story, yes. The mainstream media is still as hungry for Cap news as they were when he died, as seen in the Death of Captain America Vol. 1 HC. It just goes to show that Ed Brubaker is telling an epic story that has captured National attention, not just comic fandom. Will the world be ready for this new Captain America? We'll find out on Wednesday!"And I worry that once again, the public will just lap up the story without proper consideration. Though as recent sales figures showed, it's not like they've been able to capture that much attention nationwide. And even if this does get a lot of buyers, they may not stick around for long.
