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!
