Something happened with health care this week but in real news, Chris Evans is going to play Captain America.
The actor has reportedly signed a nine-picture deal with Marvel Studios, igniting a civil war between comic fans. On one hand, he's sexy and All-American. On the other, uh, he's already played the Human Torch. (But let's be honest: I liked them, but there was never going to be a Fantastic Four 3.)
Evans' Four-play with Marvel may make him an even better Captain America. I'm hopeful: I didn't exactly think Tobey Maguire would make a good Spider-Man (though I'm currently not talking to the Spider-franchise) or Downey would cement any sort of status as Iron Man. I was wrong.
And while Evans may have stolen the comic news spotlight this week, there were still a few comics to marvel over:
