Chapter 17, Page 24a: Impossible to Choose

Posted on August 5, 2026 by Brad Guigar

Captain Heroic has a showdown with Countess Influencia, but the former waitress isn't interested in going back to the diner — and she certainly isn't hearing his excuses! She has the city at her feet, and in her book, that's a win!

Fairmount City's top hero sees it differently. There's a big difference between trending and mattering. The Countess may be impossible to ignore... but that also makes her impossible to choose.

If you're in the Columbus area, make plans to stop by the Billy Ireland Library & Museum on August 8th from 1-5 p.m. It's a free event, and I'll be there sketching and signing along with a bunch of my pals from the NCS.

Hey Comics — Kids! S02E37: Captain America Civil War

Hey Comics Kids podcast logoBe sure to visit our Patreon page! (patreon.com/heycomicskids ) The boys have seen a trailer for the upcoming Captain America Civil War movie, and boy do they have thoughts to share! We know the movie is still a long ways off, but we can’t help discussing it. Those new LEGO sets based on the movie aren’t helping matters any, either.

About Captain America Civil War

The next installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (number 13!) is also a tie-in to one of the comics’ most popular storylines – Civil War. In the Marvel comics version of the Civil War, superheroes are forced to choose whether to sign the Superhero Registration Act — which will, among other things, make their secret identities a matter of record. This splits the superhero community down the middle, with some eagerly signing up while others desperately resist. Significantly, Captain America (anti-Registration) dies in the comics version of the story. This one is bound to have a metric-ton of heroes — and villains — duking it out. It’s bound to be an instant classic.
