Masterpiece Comics Theatre Presents: Captain America- the Bloodstone Hunt

Welcome again to Master Piece Comics Theater, an aural interwebs show where we debate all things graphic novels and imbibe all things barley brews. Lord KMacsworth III of Inkshire and Sir Yexington, Man of Comic Sans Letter bring you this time an international tryst about a crimson covered gem, and we’re not talking that plebian DiCaprio film. Pour your snifter full as you join us on a classic inter-continental romp as the Captain of the Americas and the fair Rachel, Lady with the Back of Diamonds match wits and wills with the dastardly Baron Zemo and his retinue, Monsieur Batroc’s Brigands. Their goal? The powerful sternum stone of Ulysses Bloodstone. Uncork your fanciest of ales and saga along. Just don’t drag your linen like that old money, the Living Mummy.

All the Destinations:

• Uptown NYC, Silverman Funeral Home. When you must steal a skeleton, be sure to rent a U-Haul and waive the extra insurance. ‘Cause that’s mercenary, bro.
• Downground NYC, Chamber of Conspiracy. Dead shaolin monk, check, Dead silk dress lady, check. Dead radiation suit guy, check. Dead Skeletor, check. Dead dolphin, WTF???
• The Amazon, The Incan Sacrifice Wheel. That’s some good spear play, Cap, in a clearly Mayan, not Incan, temple.
• Bermuda, Sunken Airliner. Shark meet shield smash. Batroc totally hearts-y for CA. Hey there Crossbones. I see you for the 1st time.  
• Egypt, The Lair of the Living Mummy. Thank god Diamondback speaks that totally useful modern Egyptian the Living Mummy understands while tossing around CA. Hide ‘n Seek World Champ – Crossbones. 
• Tokyo, Restaurant??? – Ah well guess we ran out of death places. Might as well enjoy some yakitori & cut this stone out of an old dude’s tummy.
