#271: July 1976 (w/Brian Michael Bendis) - "Captain America's Bicentennial Battles"

whenever anyone goes on about his many, many accomplishments. So
suffice it to say that he’s written many of our favorite comics,
and probably a whole bunch of yours too. Join him on
jinxworld.com at the Powers Level for instant access to
behind-the-scenes content, archived Masterclass sessions, and
much more!
