yendiRemember when Warren Ellis actually understood the characters he was writing?
Oh, I know. He never actually got any of his characters other than the ones he created, or the occasional one who'd been so underdeveloped, it was like getting a blank slate anyway (see his Stormwatch run).
But still, this is a pretty good example of having no fucking clue what Captain America is about:
Someone (either on Wait, What, or at Arisia) recently talked about how no one who writes Wonder Woman actually reads the previous runs, so the character is rarely true to herself. Ellis is the epitome of this (as is JMS), and while I often love him, he sometimes shouldn't be allowed to touch certain characters.
