huh. i have a question. on the planet hulk 5 flashbacks you posted, wasn’t the original drawing of the last one on the bottom right featuring steve and bucky holding hands and in this one they’re no longer holding hands? did they actually change that or is that from a different panel. i’m a bit confused… coz i swear i saw the artist post an original of that and they were holding hands but now they look like they aren’t?

You’re correct, the inked version that Marc Laming shared did have Steve and Bucky holding hands. [x]

I suppose Marc wasn’t pleased with the way it turned out? Or was asked
to change it? …maybe we could ask
him on twitter! 🙂

This confirms my suspicion that Marc wasn’t happy with the art so he changed it, no Comics Code or Marvel Exes made him do it.

Peggy confronts Howard in “The Blitzkrieg Button“ Sneak Peek x

As destronomics is pointing out in subsequent posts, this is completely setting Howard Stark up as a Jew.

The Lower East Side is probably the most infamous of NYC’s many Jewish enclaves (my parents grew up in ones in the Bronx and Brooklyn). Shirtwaist-making (garment industry anything) was a predominantly Jewish occupation and Jews had a share of the fruit market. There are ways to spin Howard’s history to make him a gentile, but… you’d have to make him a very special boy to grow up in that neighborhood with parents in those trades and have him be a goy.

Representation matters, we constantly say, and so this is me giddy at the possibility of Howard being a landsman. A lot of the Jewish characters we see are coincidentally Jewish, but a chance to see someone whose Jewishness was a defining part of his story… A Jewish Howard didn’t have a choice whether to embrace his Jewishness as either a young boy in a ghetto or a wealthy adult on the Upper East Side; you can be damned sure everyone knows he’s Jewish and quite a few hold it against him. Anti-semitism in the post-war period could exist quite nicely with “Never Again,” same as it does now. A Jewish Howard may live a completely secular life now and hasn’t set foot in a shul since his parents died, but he probably can still speak and read Yiddish. And it makes his actions during the war — being up at the front, being willing to fly behind enemy lines, doing everything he could instead of staying home and sitting in his office profiting — a little more interesting.

(Picture, if you will, Project Rebirth planning arguments taking place entirely in Yiddish and Yinglish.)

I don’t know if they’ll do anything with this or just leave it as a coded statement, but… hey, Howard a Yid? I’m chuffed.
