It was the same in The Eternals - when the Hulk appeared, it was a cosmic-powered android, not the real one. I'd have liked to see Colletta ink an issue or two, as well as Sinnott.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-30421287457225438402013-11-25T22:36:53.077+00:002013-11-25T22:36:53.077+00:00I was pumped when it was announced that Kirby was ...I was pumped when it was announced that Kirby was coming back to Cap, even though I really enjoyed Engelhart's run (and liked Frank Robbins art on Cap's run. Some of my favorites were actually inked by Kirby's inker, D. Bruce Berry!). <br /><br />While Kirby's Cap didn't live up to my expectations, there were some great ideas in these stories. Kirby's ambitious bi-centennial story was interesting, although by the end he lost focus. I thought the beginning of the Night People story was offbeat, but didn't care for the wind-up. I liked the fact that Kirby kept the Falcon, making him a strong character and an equal to Cap (although Redwing was nowhere to be found). I found it odd that Kirby never even had a cameo of Nick Fury (or any of his Shield crew) even though Shield was part of his storylines. Instead he had other "officials" standing in for them. These were choices Kirby made that didn't make a lot of sense and alienated readers. Still, there was some nice work withing these pages, and Frank Giacoia did a nice job on issues he inked (although I would have liked to see Sinnott ink an issue or two. Even Joe wondered why he wasn't assigned one of Kirby's books.
