Not getting my hopes up. =.=

Although bringing Cap back to clean up Dark Reign would be beautiful, poetic justice: the old school idealist fixing all this grim-and-gritty BS.

I just hope they don't kill off Tony in the process. D:

"[Captain America] at heart is a bit of an old-fashioned guy - he looks like Brad Pitt, but smells like your granddad."

smells like your granddad

smells like your granddad

smells like your granddad

smells like your granddad

LIES, CAP SMELLS OF APPLE PIE AND AWESOME AND RAINBOWS

I know lots of people (including me) have been saying that they'll probably bring him back to finish off Dark Reign. Comics are pretty predictable, so that will probably be what happens.

If they kill off Tony I think I'll just stop caring about comics at all *sobs* All the abuse they already put him through is too much.

Tony will get a martyrdom, I think, but that doesn't mean permanent death. Tony's died and come back in canon more than anyone except Phoenix. ;)

As for Cap... I hope this is it. Please let this be it.

Well, my grandpa smelled like gunpowder and leather polish... :)

Just more proof that none of these clowns really understand him.

Yeah, I expect it'll be a "Woe, Tony is dead, clearly we shall regret his passing and remember him and then when he comes back we are less angry because it's harder to hate on a dead person." or "He died to make up for everything, clearly he is sorry, let's all be friends again."

Cap can either smell like 1) his aftershave 2) THINGS WHICH ARE AWESOME or 3) Tony. CLEARLY, this referred to Aftershave, specifically Old Spice, because I don't think my granddad's ever used anything else. I refuse to think of Papa smelling like Tony ( D: ), and I'm not sure what awesome smells like other than "like Cap".

(bends logic into horrible shapes)

I hope out for hope! ¬0¬

He'll be back for Iron Man 2, at least.

I'm trying very hard to be optimistic, but Marvel makes it difficult.

Also, if they bring back Steve and kill off Tony, I'm never touching a comic book again, I swear. :-(

...So, he smells warm, homelike, and comforting, like a hug, if a hug smelled like anything? GOOD TO KNOW.

Also, if they bring back Steve and kill off Tony, I'm never touching a comic book again, I swear. :-(

It makes me think of the old Scooby Doo cartoons where they run through the doors in the hallway and keep missing each other. Steve's back! But oh no, now Tony's dead. Let's go through the door on the left to get to him, oh he went through the one on the right :P

I'll believe it when I see it. Either this is an alternate universe Steve (since alternate universe Bucky is going to be making an appearance) or the stuff with crazy 1950's Cap is finally coming to a head.

Hmm, it's interesting because although it's so awesome that Steve will be coming back, the circumstances under which it's happening and the reactions of the 616 are still something to be concerned about, I think. I'm hoping something along the lines of "HOLY SHIT REAL CAP JUST CUT OFF OSBORN'S HEAD WITH HIS SHIELD" will happen, but I've lost so much faith in Marvel at this point.

As for Tony? Hmm. I think a situation like this would only emphasize the "star-crossed lovers" theme going on with us in the community. And as for canon, I have no clue, and I remain anxious and sickeningly intrigued.

Let's hope they handle this properly.

To paraphrase my comment at SD: I have a bad feeling about this. I mean, I like Brubaker, so I'm trying to keep my hopes up, but I'm fairly sure it'll either be a fakeout, or they'll utterly fuck this up and infect him with the same amount of writer-suck that's happened to the rest of the universe.

Bwah! If I had any artistic talent, I'd totally make fanart of that. The Marvel Universe afterlife as an endless corridor of doors, with various superheroes running in and out.

There goes Hank Pym, chasing after Jan! But when he opens the door she just went through, Carol Danvers comes out! Confusion everywhere!

..So, he smells warm, homelike, and comforting, like a hug, if a hug smelled like anything? GOOD TO KNOW.

Dawwww.

This sounds much better. Let's hope he meant that and not, you know, less good stuff.

But for now, I'll just do a dreamy sigh at the art.

Cropped like that, the light appears to be radiating from his groin.

This isn't a complaint; just an observation.

Cap's groin has magical properties. *cough cough*

To be honest, I'm easy either way, although I think it's far too soon. At least let Tony get a better artist for his title first. *ducks and flees*

Hell, the news has made CNN (http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/06/15/captain.america/) y'all.

I'm surprised I like this, because Epting's art doesn't really arouse any strong feelings from me either way.

Yay!

Because I'm the suck, can someone make an icon with this pic for me? The text can be anything from reborn to whatever Cap appropriate.

I need an icon of this going 'kink' LMAO! Don't mind me, I'm giddy with glee.

Um. Looking at the the Marvel website (http://marvel.com/news/comicstories.8368.Reborn_Revealed) (SPOILERS LIKE WHOA), it sort of... is coming from his groin...

That had to be intentional. It just HAD TO BE.

ETA: Also, there is a website (http://marvel.com/reborn) and a t-shirt. >.> (resists... t-shirt... resists...)
