So Cap Is Coming Back? That Didn’t Take Long
News broke yesterday that Steve Rogers, the original Captain America would be returning to the Marvel Universe next month in a new series, Captain America: Reborn. Two years ago, Steve Rogers was killed on a court building’s steps after having surrendered in the aftermath of Civil War. In that time his former kid sidekick, turned brainwashed Russian super-agent, Bucky Barnes picked up the mantel.
With Steve returning, what happens to BuckyCap? Well I’m sure all of our questions will be answered, as Marvel PR was quick to get this in front of the press:
Captain America is making a miraculous recov
Two years after Marvel Comics knocked off its famous star-spangled superhero, he’s gonna be back and better than ever.“The original Captain America is finally coming back,” Marvel Comics editor in chief Joe Quesada told the Daily News. “We’ve been patiently planning for this moment for 21/2 years.”
Captain America will return next month in a five-comic book series, “Captain America Reborn.”
In conjunction with this, Marvel has returned Captain America to its original numbering bringing this week’s issue to #600. I haven’t had a chance to pick this up, but the reviews I’ve seen thus far reek of a shitty retconning. I’ll wait until I get the issue in my hands on it.
Ed Brubaker has yet to let me down on this title, and I have a hard time believing that he would have put all of this work into Cap only to have it turn into another Clone Saga or One More Day.

Well, it at least gives me hope that Bruce will be back as Batman relatively soon…I love Dick, but he’s no Batman.
And yeah, I wrote “I love Dick.” Deal with it, children!
