Well just read the first issue and a lot certainly happened.......
Spoiler:
Red Skull and Arnim Zola used a special ammunition when they had Faustus brainwash Sharon Carter. The shots unstuck Rogers in time and the time platform (see Cap #43) was supposed to bring him back. Sharon foiled their plans. The first issue explains this as well as presenting scenes where Steve's consciousness from the present inhabits his body in the past in a few moments from his past. This is obviously teasing for his return where somehow his consciousness needs to get back into a present body.
At least the issue didn't do a Flash Rebirth and ignore it's most recent protagonist. Unlike Wally West, Bucky's still getting a lot of important roles in this so far.
Well they still have to provide a physical body to return in since his actual body would have decayed and withered. Unless they bring him back as a frail Steve Rogers and just let Bucky be Cap.
Hopefully they won't do anything stupid and have a Steve's consciousness in Bucky's body.
...as for LOST, am I the only one hoping we see the REAL John Locke in the final season? 🙂
I just read an interesting prediction from a poster on Newsarama. They suggested that when Steve returns (as shown in
Spoiler:) Bucky should remain as Cap and Steve Rogers should become the next director of SHIELD!
Marvel's Decembers solits- a pic of a both Steve and Bucky holding the shield up together
I really like that idea. It can accommodate both characters, fits into Steve's character and allows for Bucky to remain as Cap.
If that were to happen it'd be highly ironic, as at the end of Civil War, to rebuttal rumours of Cap's death Marvel solicited a fake series supposedly starring Steve Rogers. It featured Iron-Man looking very, very similar to how Iron-patriot looks now and was titled "Steve Rogers, Director of SHIELD"
I for one hope Steve becomes Cap and stays Cap........i never bought the whole...Bucky was alive the whole time/Winter soldier bull that Brubaker did......i might just be one in the minority who does not see this recent Bucky as Cap a good thing...but then i am not a big fan of Brubakers run on Cap, so his whole run has not felt right to me......i cant put my finger on it...maybe it has something to do with comics as a whole these days.

What's Nick Fury going to do for a living, then?
Much as I like change, what's irritating about comics is that change seems to never be permanent. We know it's inevitable that Steve will be Cap again someday, so why go on and buy in to all the things that will happen before that?
Actually an angle I think would be very nice and sly for Marvel to pull would be to let Bucky stay as Cap, and have Steve take over for training the Initiative if he was going to take a government job.
Seriously who better to train the upcoming newbies in the ways of being a hero.
It would be a sweet way to explore Steve more as a teacher which I think would suit him very well.

Nick hasn't been in chage of SHIELD for well over half a decade now. I'm sure he wouldn't get his nickers in a bunch if Rogers was running the show.
What kind of enjoyment do you get out of comics? 😕
I mean what was the point in him dying if we know he's gonna come back? What's the point in reading about Captain America at all if we know that the good guys will win at the end of the day? For that matter what is the point in reading any comic anywhere that has any element of predictability?
