CAPTAIN AMERICA 6 flips out…
With the jaw-dropping answer to “Who killed the Red Skull?”, Ed Brubaker and Steve Epting’s Captain America 6 is white-hot. Both fan and retailer demand for the issue has already warranted Marvel to produce a “flip” variant edition -- with Epting reworking his original cover into a mirror image…reflecting the issue’s major reveal.
"I've just been overwhelmed by the response to Captain America so far, with issue 6, that just went through the roof,” says series scribe Ed Brubaker. “And the best thing about it is that I know where this is all going, Steve and I have a great ride in store for the fans...I'm psyched to see Steve's brilliant flip variation on the original Cap 6 cover. I can't wait to have both issues myself!"
The Captain America #6 regular edition -- the conclusion to the "OUT OF TIME" arc -- hit store shelves on 5/25…
…the Captain America #6 Limited Edition Variant goes on sale 6/22, with a Retailer FOC of 6/2.

Straczynski’s DREAM project…
The wait is over. Mega-popular writer J. Michael Straczynski’s DREAM POLICE one-shot will be released on June 22, 2005, as part of Marvel Comics’ ICON line. Its main characters, Detectives Joe Thursday and Frank Stafford, are about to take center stage at long last.
“Good things come to those that wait,” says Marvel Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada. “And a new book by JMS is one heckuva good thing to wait for. But we shall tarry no more: it’s here! Marvel’s been bursting at the seams to share this story with the rest of the world and now we can. The only downside is that J. Michael’s gonna get even more acclaim from this book and I’m going to have to finally learn how to spell his name!”
But what is DREAM POLICE exactly? “What I love most about the book is the tone -- very noir, very ‘Dragnet’ meets ‘Men In Black’ meets ‘Maltese Falcon’ -- set against a surreal and often very funny dreamscape,” says Straczynski, “The art by Mike Deodato is just sterling, it perfectly captures the film noir look I wanted for the book, dark, moody, shadowed, but full of striking characters and beautiful backgrounds. It looks like a slightly deranged 1950s hardboiled detective comic...AND a fantasy book at the same time, and that's a very hard balance to strike.”
Adds Marvel’s Executive Editor Axel Alonso, DREAM POLICE exemplifies what fans have come to expect from Marvel's Icon Line: Smart, edgy fiction with daring visuals, brought to you by some of today's top creators…and I don't think that this is the last anyone will be seeing of Detectives Joe Thursday and Frank Stanford."
