Captain Harlock Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Yes, Captain America is back! Marvel editor Joe Quesada was on the Colbert Report last night and he said that Cap's long time side kick Bucky Barnes had taken up the mantel of Captain America. Issue #34 is on newstands now!

Paulie Mississippi Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Isn't this the same Bucky Barnes who was killed in the fifties and resurrected in the seventies? By that logic, next decade or so will see Steve Rogers back as Cap... Besides, the PC thing to do would have been for the Falcon... Cap's old partner... to have donned the red, white, and blue... or maybe Luke Cage... a little more indestructable Cap... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadfingerBarb Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 They didn't bring Bucky back until the last year or so (He died in the mid '40s). In comics now a days, no one stays dead (except Barry Allen). Steve Rogers will return after this particular spectacle runs it's course. I was an avid collector of comics in the '60s and '70s and my collection includes most every silver age title in their entirety as well as quite a few golden age books. Today's comics look incredible visually but for the most part they are all about promotion and events and not about character and story.

Paulie Mississippi Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I remember Bucky being back even in the '70's... maybe they "rebooted" or something... Superman has been dead more times than I can remember... usually a future or alternate universe version though... and of course one of the greatest deaths ever... the death of Gwen Stacy... was nullified with a clone...

Captain Harlock Posted February 1, 2008 Author Share Posted February 1, 2008 That's the great thing about comics, if there's a way to bring someone back they usually will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
