Captain America - Traitor?!?

Oh, Mark Millar, how could you do this to the pure and great icon of America? Oh, wait. That's regular Captain America, not the arrogant jerk with the AK-47 who says stupid things like, "The A doesn't stand for France." Frankily, it shouldn't be surprising that he turns out to be the traitor.

It certainly wasn't surprising to me, and I don't even read the series anymore. Just by flipping through the comic every month to see if Black Widow was in the series anymore, I could tell that it was Cap who betrayed the Ultimates and killed Hawkeye. (Again? People at Marvel really don't like Hawkeye.) Sure, easy for me to say it now that the latest issue of Ultimates is out and Nick Fury arrests Cap, but hey, I got nothing else to write about. And it probably won't even be Captain America, just some clone or Skrull or something.

So, thank you Mark Millar for more of the same things I expect when reading your stories. At least it wasn't about an alternate universe where all the superheroes are vampire zombies... (They're making a spin-off of that, you know. Sad, Marvel. Truly sad.)
