(Sorry that the title's a bit squeezed. Turns out the title field has a character limit). [2019 note: same on new site]

Now that this thread has been moved over I can open it up to the No-Prize competition. Whoever correctly guesses the most entries in this book not mentioned in the description will get the first Capes (Optional) version of the No-Prizes I'd been handing out on the CxPulp site. The book is slated for a January 27 release.

I'm drawing a blank for possible further entries. Maybe the Human Torch?

Out tomorrow! Get your guesses in for the first No-Prize on the new site. Cut-off is tomorrow at 7 Pacific/10 Easterm or until someone posts the contents, whichever comes first.

Votes now locked in as some east coasters could possibly try to fool us west coasters into thinking they're making random guesses when they're actually typing off names of characters from their own copy.

Out now! Also includes material from Captain America: First Vengeance #1-4 2011 and Captain America: The Movie Adaptation#1-2 2013
 
Bucky 2
Captain America 3
Captain America's Costumes & Shields 2
Peggy Carter 2
Jacques Dernier 1
Dum Dum Dugan 1
Dr. Abraham Erskine 1
James Montgomery Falsworth 1
Hydra 3
Gabe Jones 1
Jim Morita 1
Colonel Phillips 1
Red Skull 3
Howard Stark update 1
World Exposition of Tomorrow 2
Arnim Zola 1
Senator Brandt ½
Sergeant Duffy ½
Nick Fury update ½
Heinz Kruger ½
Tesseract ½
Yggdrasil ½
 
One common theme I see here is that if an expo appears in a MCU movie it's going to get an entry
 
Even if more people had guessed, Eduardo would have likely won the No-Prize: an impressive eight out of nine guesses made it in (we now know that "Howling Copmmandos" referred to the members and not the team, but that wasn't obvious from the solicits). Your No-Prize is on the way!

This is probably the nicest looking issue to date, largely due to the various equipment/vehicles imagery. And nice that there were lots of 1 and 1/2 pagers to allow for more entries this go. What are other people's reactions?

I preordered mine, but it hasn't shipped yet. :-(

I got mine. I like it, it has the same quality as the previous ones. If there was one thing I'd complain about, it's that the individual Howling Commandos entries covered a lot of the same material.
