'Captain America' to Relaunch in July

Not official cover. But damn fine piece by the great Mitch Breitweiser.

Bleeding Cool reported today that Captain America would restart its numbering again in July and that good ‘ol Steve Rogers would be stepping back into his red, white and blues. Ed Brubaker is expected to continue, so the catalyst is really the opening of the new Cap film—new and returning fans will have a fresh place to start if they want to get back into Captain America. And I can’t think of any writer who has done better by Cap. Brubaker revitalized the character by breaking him down, killing him, and bringing him back in an entirely new, but exciting, role as the Super Soldier.

I figured we were leading to this, based on the upcoming Captain America solicits (following the Bucky Cap trial) focusing on flashback stories. While I will miss Steve Rogers’ current role in the Marvel U, it’ll be nice to have him back where he was destined to be.

The site also hinted that there might be further announcements at C2E2. More to come!
