captan_america_the_winter_soldier_teaser_posterThe original plan for today’s post was to comment on DC Comics’s upcoming Villains Month, and how it is not only a lead-in to DC’s first great crossover event since the New 52 reboot, but to implicit bankruptcy – seriously, DC is shipping 16 different Batman Family titles in September, and multiple shipping almost every other title, meaning that I will be surviving on bricks of ramen noodles in September, while the owner of my local comic store, where they know me by name and ask me if I have their money – not some of their money; all their motherfucking money – makes the down payment on the new 911 Targa.

However, as sometimes happens, circumstances got in the way… those circumstances being fatigue hysteria. So an in-depth analysis over the troubling recent tendency of comics publishers to ship multiple copies of their books in a single month, and therefore effectively getting eight clams out of every reader every month while pretending that they haven’t increased their cover price, will have to wait for a day or two.

But that doesn’t mean that there isn’t anything cool going on in the world of comics and superheroes. For example, Captain America: The Winter Soldier is currently shooting in Ohio. And while it is a superhero movie, from a visual standpoint, it is a movie about a guy in a spandex suit with a painted hubcap fighting a guy in a leather suit with a machine gun. Which, fortunately, means that directors Anthony and Joe Russo can actually shoot some of it in the real world… and they have. Which means that Cleveland.com has some location photos of a gunfight scene, that includes some of the first photos of The Winter Soldier, so we can see if they’re keeping the same look from Ed Brubaker’s comics.

And you can check some of those pictures out after the jump.
