The return of Captain America (well, duh.)

http://www.marvel.com/news/comicstories.1640.Captain_America_Lives

"Steve Rogers, the Sentinel of Liberty, was cut down in a hail of gunfire in March's CAPTAIN AMERICA #25. And whether or not you agree with the decision, he's still dead. But a character as iconic and important as Cap can never truly die. Who better to reimagine Cap for a new age, a new character, a new costume, than Alex Ross? Working closely with Ed Brubaker, Steve Epting and Tom Brevoort, Captain America makes his return—or debut, if you prefer—in January's CAPTAIN AMERICA #34."

""As is typical when you change a classic character around," explains Brevoort, "there are going to be some who'll love it and some who'll loathe it. But it does have the advantage that this isn't Steve Rogers, so what might seem right or wrong for his Captain America won't necessarily hold true in the same way for our new guy.""

Hmm. wonder who it's going to be in the suit? I'm betting it's going to be a brand new character, not someone we've already seen.

2. Just as long as he isn't U.S. Agent Two I'll be happy.

If he truly lives up to the spirit of the old Cap' then I'll be happy. Though personally I always thought Luke Cage would make a great Captain America.

6. I haven't been to the comic book shop since some clerk got snotty with me.

I have been meaning to find an on-line outlet, but haven't found one yet.
I go to a sports card place that sell comics. They do not have the best display layout and so it's easy for me to miss lots of covers.

7. Bucky (Winter Soldier) is taking up the shield

Steve Rogers remains dead.

Brubaker's writing it and it's coming off pretty good, imo.
