New Captain America to debut soon
Via Fox News:
NEW YORK — You can’t keep a good American down.
Marvel Entertainment announced Thursday that its slain hero Captain America will rise again with a new outfit and a new secret identity, after the character was killed off in March by a sniper’s bullet in a storyline on the War on Terror.
The company unveiled the patriotic superhero’s new look Thursday with artwork by Alex Ross and Steve Epting for the new issue, No. 34, to hit comic book shops in January 2008.
Captain America will return with his trademark shield, but he also will have some new firepower. The artists are bringing the hero back with a gun.

“I always try and look back in the character’s history to something that maybe was a forgotten costume element from a bygone age, maybe one of the earlier costume elements, to see if you could bring that part back,” Ross told Marvel.com. “Well, funny enough, there’s this awful movie serial made in the ’40s with Cap where he had no shield, no wings on his mask, no white sleeves, little tiny gloves, and he carried a gun.”
While the famed hero is returning to fight the good fight, Marvel made clear that the original character, Steve Rogers, remains dead. A yet-to-be-revealed character will don this new Captain America suit.
We know what happened to the old one. Let’s just hope the PC-ing of the old Captain America doesn’t happen to the new one, although I can see it now, with the new one carrying a gun, where he starts lobbying against gun rights after he “sees what guns do to people” – blah blah.

I just read a report on the news that said that there was quite an uproar because they were bringing back Captain America.
The pressure was so intense that the creators of Capt. America have changed him completely. From now on, he will be known as Captain United Nations and he will wear a light blue uniform, just like the helmets the UN soldiers wear. He will not represent a single country, but all nations.
Instead of a gun he will carry a phone so that when evil strikes, he can call them and try to find out why they are evil.
After passing the “global test” as to whether or not the bad guy is really evil, Captain UN will present his arguments as to why they should draft a resolution declaring said bad guy evil.
- And his resolution will be rejected on the grounds that he is being “insensitive and bigoted for singling out badly misunderstood evil guys who suffered from abusive an abusibe childhood”. Just makes you want to join in a group hug, light candles, and all join hands in a Kumbya sing-along.

I gave up on Marvel Comics ages ago. When the Golden Age of Lee, Kirby and Romita brought us Cap, Fantastic Four, Sgt. Fury And The Howlin’ Commandos, Iron Man and Spider Man.
Jim Streanko re-vamped Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D., which was cool for awhile.
Arch Goodwin and Walt Simonson’s “Manhunter” rocked for a very short time, won many awards for DC Comics in the 70′s and set the tone for comics up to Frank Miller’s “Dark Knight”.
Marvel may have expanded its “Universe” of characters, but has paled very badly in comparison.
