The shield is very cool, although the red and white are swapped...
I can imagine my kid, in a few years, wearing that!

JB: Looking at that page, you can see a common failing in many colorists over the years. They'd spread a bunch of pages before them, "charge" their brush with a particular color -- let's say yellow -- and then fill in areas more or less at random until that color ran out. Rinse and repeat with a different color. JB, I'm not really familiar with how the coloring was done back in the day. I was under the impression that a brush with paint was used...is that what you meant by "charge" their brush? I never heard the term used before so I was just wondering.

"Charge" is an art term for loading the brush with paint.

As a kid, I thought quasar had a really cool costume, except for the
headband.

Only Luke Cage can make a headband look cool.

Well I'm gonna chime in on this now. The artist who designed this Captain America obviously isn't paid by the hour. It just one more thing to add to the lateness of titles. I really think Bryan Hitch is to blame for this. What he did to the costumes when he worked on the Ultimates has had too big an influence. I love Bryan's work but I don't think he knows that sometimes less is more. Easily he would improve his speed if he didn't always complicate the drawing. Needlessly at times.
As far as the writers today go. I think the problem is that alot of them don't know how to write. Not for anything but comics. I think they like some modern artist grew up only learning their craft from comics.

I think the problem is more that many modern comic book writers are trying
to write movie screenplays. Some writers pretty much say, "This is my idea
for a [insert title] movie." Thus the pacing is all wrong for serial fiction, and
a one-off "good story" takes precedence over any long-term damage the
characters might suffer. You also get bizarre pages like 8 panels of
zooming into a person or an object, which make for great cinematography,
if it were film, but is an utter waste of a page for a comic.

Today's artists must be paid by the number of lines they draw.

---"I think they like some modern artist grew up only learning their craft from comics."
so many times in life these words echo through my head "it didn't require any discipline to attain it. You read what others had done and you took the next step. You didn't earn the knowledge for yourselves, so you don't take any responsibility for it. You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could, and before you even knew what you had, you patented it, and packaged it, and slapped it on a plastic lunchbox...were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should." -Ian Malcolm
