i think bucky will hand the shield back over to steve out of respect. but steve will give it back saying something like "i'll come back for it when it is no longer a crime to wear a mask."
steve will become his own generic cap version like nomad or something because he did have a falling out with the gov't during civil war.

I think Bucky should die..sorry, I like him as Cap as much as anyone but Steve is the rightful Cap. They should silence the critics of Marvel and kill off Bucky...FOR GOOD.

Gotta be Steve. Bucky has done a great job and the stories have been great with Bucky, but the simple truth is that Bucky is not Cap. Bucky needs to die heroically and Steve needs to come back. If for no other reason than I have hated the damnable Alex Ross Red white blue and black suit since it debuted.

I like the nomad idea, steve can go around like kane from kung fu just righting wrongs untill the gov't asks him back.

Let bucky go wild for a bit longer, then when hes really lost it... Who's the one man who can take him down... Steve Rogers! Boosh!

If you're reviving a character, its because he will do what he has been doing since day one... So in other words, Steve Rogers will be Cap America... Bucky is sucky...

Little bastard Bucky had better give up that sheild.

I think it's more likely that Steve will just hold off on becoming Cap again until it gets closer to movie time. I don't think Bucky will go anywhere, yet.

should be steve, but marvel may run with bucky for awhile.
rogers may don another ego maybe similar to "nomad" or "the captain" for awhile.
but there can be only one real CA, sorry bucky

cincyboy - 9/21/2009, 10:45 PM
it will be bucky. cap is tramatized by reliving his past, and is ready to retire, for now!

Steve should become a new super hero, kinda like a roaming masterless ronin. Lets keep this Marvel change for good! I say keep Bucky as the Cap because Cap is a symbol not a man. Let the great man himself, Steve Rodgers, carve out a new niche in the Marvel U. Whats say you CBM?
CrookedJaw
CrookedJaw - 9/21/2009, 11:25 PM
Now this is a toughy...I thought it was awesome that Bucky took up the shield after Steve fell, Cap is one of those heroes that is more the symbol, than the actual person. And Cap was one of the few Marvelites to have an old sidekick. It all worked awesomely...but now that Steve's back, idk...he was, and is, Captain america, but I really liked the Bucky idea...I'm undecided

Imagine if Ed Brubaker got to help write the script for the film.. That would be awesome.. I'm really enjoying Captain America Reborn!

Haven't read issue 3, although it's right here beside me lol!

When is this one-shot out??

@joshw24.. Great article! I know it's a comic book movie website but I love it when some actual comic book stuff filters through :-D.. Thanks

God dammit I really did love Bucky as Cap. It was real character development. Now hes back to just bucky...

Though I definitely think that Steve should take on the mantle of Captain America again, I hope that Bucky goes nowhere! If they're not gingto keep him around as another Cap then they should definitely have him take on his Winter Soldier identity or even a modern variation of the original Bucky costume! I really hope that they dont do what DC did with Jason Todd - after bringing back the character they went the predictable route of turning him into an all out villain! Hopefully, Bucky will be around for a long time to come..! :)

steve's going to come back and help take down norman osborn and his dark reign. then he should let bucky stay as cap, and steve should become director of shield. but then again, they wouldn't have gone through all this revival nonsense if steve wasn't going to be cap again,

I WANT STEVE BACK! Sorry Bucky's great and all but as long as Steve's around he's not Captain America. That's like if Bruce Wayne died then Dick became Batman then Bruce came back. Bruce will alway be Batman and Steve will always be Captain America.

thor has been back in mainstream MU for a while. he helped end the secret invasion.

The current "Reborn" arc is some of the worst trite to come out for a while. Freaking spiritual time travel and a whole bunch of poo poo.
Rogers needs to stay dead, Bucky is the new Cap. Bringing him back in the first place was a slap in face.

Bucky was/is a place-holder. You don't have to like it, but this is how the story was always meant to go. Originally Brubaker planned to bring Steve back by issue #30. You really thought Cap would stay dead in a book that brought back the only guy to stay dead since Uncle Ben?! Personally I think Winter Soldier is a much cooler character for Bucky anyway, but only Steve is Cap.

Let Bucky has his due for awhile and hopefully if they do decide to give it back to Steve, it will be well done and not some hacky trash like how they did the SpiderMan story with the whole world forgetting he was Peter Parker. Whatever happens, Bucky cant go the route of Jason Todd. By the way...Bucky's Captian America costume is the shit,....one of the best costume reinventions ive seen in awhile.

@ xmentheeight

i agree, cap has one of the most iconic, and coolest costumes in comics, but if it had to be reinvented, i don't see it being any better than bucky-cap's! i love it
JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 9/22/2009, 12:36 PM
Captain America: Reborn is a brillant series and with every page you can tell that Brubaker has been plannig this out and setting the story up since Cap's death way back in #2.

Im not sure if Cap (Steve Rogers) should have a big part in Dark Reign...if Spider-Man isnt the one to take Osborn down Im gonna be gutted!

I think cap will let bucky keep the shield for a little longer and steve will take up the mantle of ronin till clint gets busted out of hammers hold and when his movie get closer he will take up the mantle of cap again and clint will take up being hawkeye again and bucky will be ronin thats what i think
