Quesada and Colbert – Together Again!
What would Steve Rogers do?
Well, given the writer's strike and the fact that people have to cross picket lines in order to get in the building, The Colbert Report doesn't announce their guests in advance. But Marvel Comics does.
Marvel Comics today announced that Joe Quesada, editor-in-chief, will be a guest on The Colbert Reporton Tuesday, January 29. In order to do so, he must cross the Writers Guild picket line outside the program's mid-town Manhattan studio.
The WGA has been on strike since early November, seeking (among other things) a share of Internet revenue and a larger portion of DVD profits. Ironically, the Marvel film studio just signed an interim agreement with the WGA last week.
The last time Quesada appeared on the show, the gave Colbert Captain America's shield. Since his appearance is the very night before the release of the return of Captain America (Bucky gets promoted), perhaps Joey needs it back.
Then again, perhaps it won't be Joe Quesada. Maybe it'll be a Skrull. Skrulls would cross picket lines.
The Colbert Report airs on Comedy Central 11:30 PM Eastern and Pacific.

This will be interesting, particularly since Marvel Studios just settled with the WGA.

Maybe Joe Q will trade him Spidey's marriage license and the past 20 years of Spidey's continuity for Caps Shield, Marvel has no use for them.
This will be fun and a nice intro for the lastest installment of Cap. I reread the last several issues last night to prepare... The new costume designs are amazing. I must say that although I new Bucky would have to return as Cap... inside I really wanted it to be Hawkeye... but they're probably all Skrulls anyway so what does it matter. I can't wait for the final issue of Secret Invasion when Cap thaws out (again) to kick a bunch of Skrull @$$.

My apologies... I meant "Cap's Shield" and that I "knew" Bucky...
Yeah... I really should proofread before hitting "Add Your Comments".

Yeah, I keep telling myself the same thing.

If Joe Quesada gives Colbert the spidey-license... it'd be almost comical if it weren't for thousands of whiny fanboys screaming "He slapped me in the face again!"
