Captain America Reborn?????

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?

It's just with the release of the Captain America movie less than two years from now, the feeling that he will be forced back into the costume just in time for that, seems to cheapen the effect of his death at the end of Civil War. It was very symbolic, because in a sense he was killed not by the sniper and the secret gun, but by the American people as a whole. Yes, intellectually I knew he would return in some way someday, but it's not feeling like the right time to me.

Maybe Nick dies?

Maybe he pulls a Daredevil, the same way Matt did with the Hand, and becomes the leader of one of his oldest foes?

"Nick Fury: Agent of Hydra" wouldn't be a book I'd mind reading.

I know what you mean. Another year would have been good with me: give Bucky some more solo adventures that don't revolve around the whole Cap death thing, like that bit that took place in China with the OG Torch (that was an awesome story!), and then start the whole bringing Cap back thing.

But it seems like they're rushing Cap's return. I'm more or less okay with that, because everything Brubaker has done on the title has been pretty great.

The most obvious circumstance is that the status quo is returned. I wouldn't say that's cheap, just expected and not as adventurous.

I'd love to see Bucky stay as Cap, but dare I say it, will they kill Bucky off again?

Ah, right I see. Well I'm just trusting in Brubaker on this one. Hopefully it won't be misplaced trust. ✅
