Oh, I'm glad that Brubaker got to handle it, rather than Millar. But I've read the interview with Bru, and he did say that Joe and Tom had a LOT to do with Cap's death.
Bru basically came off as "I loved him so much that he had to die." I'am SO SICK of writers and creators doing that to characters; BKV said that almost verbatim about Gert in the Runaways.
I don't think this was a ballsy move on Brubaker's part, although he wants to present it that way. I love Brubaker - or did - and now? He can go die the death of an unloved pauper, for all that I care.
As for wank, I haven't actually seen much of it, but I define wank as people tearing into each other. All I've seen is rage and grief setting the internet ablaze, and for me, it's cathartic to share in that. Scans_daily has been remarkably unwanky about it, although there are close to 900 comments on the two posts about Cap at this point, virtually all of it an outpouring of disgust and sadness.
But I totally understand the need to sequester. I'm still really just...overwhelmed with the magnitutude of what Brubaker has done.
And poor Sam and poor Sharon! Sharon's going to go through absolute hell, and Sam lost his best friend in the entire world. I know that Brubaker will handle those two characters well, at least. I used to like Diamonback far better than Sharon as a romantic interest for Steve, but Sharon's grown a lot under Brubaker's pen.
And I bet the Punisher is going to be MIGHTY pissed off.
