By JOHN ROGERS, AP

What's that you say? Wouldn't Bucky be about 85 years old now? And without any real super powers to fall back on, isn't that kind of long in the tooth to be taking a bite out of crime?<o

Well, yeah. But remember, this is the comic book world we're talking about. Bucky was put in suspended animation by the evil Russians (back when they were evil) and stayed that way for the better part of 60 years.

"Not since the 1940s have we seen Cap being this popular," he said.

Thoughts on this? I'm still pissed they killed off Rogers, but eventually the line between Rogers and Barnes will probably disappear and we'll forget he is played by a new guy.

Re: Captain America is back?

Im glad they are atleast bringing cap back into it. Rogers was a great cap but I think in the long run Marvel made a good decision. But I guess only time will tell.

Re: Captain America is back?

Joe Quesada is now hinting that Rogers will be back if sales for Barnes run are low.

Do to their recent changes to Spider-Man I have little to no faith in Marvel.

Rogers will be back as Cap in under a year....mark it down.

Hated it.

To each his own but his marriage to MJ was a part of lot of history with the character and they basically just wiped that out.

I would have preferred they just get divorced if they needed him single.

Re: Captain America is back?

It's questions like these that make me hate what they did.

Why not just have them divorce and it keeps the past years of events in tact.

As I said to each their own though....it just annoys me

Wait, what happened to spider-man? I heard they changed things up but he's single again? And MJ's a crime fighter?
