Captain America is returning!<\/a><\/p>\n

Yyyyeah …<\/p>\n

\n

Marvel Comics has announced the return of the Sentinel of Liberty in Captain America #34, due in stores in January 2008. It won’t be Steve Rogers, but it will be Captain America, and his new appearance has been designed by Alex Ross.<\/p>\n

According to the announcement at Marvel’s website, series writer Ed Brubaker said, “This was always the plan, to have — with issue #34, halfway through the whole big ‘Death of Captain America’ epic story — [a new Cap].” The idea to involve Ross for the new Cap’s costume came from Brubaker talking to Marvel’s Tom Brevoort months ago.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

So it won’t be Steve Rogers, and there’s a new costume, and …<\/p>\n

Yeah, it’s an Alex Ross design, and it’s inspired by old movie serials (including the pistol), but it still kinda sucks.<\/p>\n

I do think Ed Brubaker will make a good story of it, but I still feel a sense of both “ho-hum” and “boy, is that an ugly outfit.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
