holy shit that is really the costume they are gonna give him

Announced on the ABC Captain America special, Steve's back as Cap. Well, a Cap, as Sam will also be Captain America:

It's not a surprising move given that Marvel Studios' "Captain America: Civil War" is out on May 6, which stars Chris Evans as Steve Rogers. The character will star in a new Marvel series titled "Captain America: Steve Rogers," from the creative team of writer Nick Spencer and artist Jesus Saiz. Current Cap Sam Wilson will remain in the role, meaning Marvel will have two Captain Americas.


"When Steve handed the shield to Sam, it didn’t come with any caveats. It’s his. Steve respects and admires what his old partner is doing, and wants him to carry on," Spencer told Marvel.com. "There are enough problems out there, and enough bad guys, to keep both of them busy. They’ll have very different missions; Sam will continue fighting the battles no one else will go near, while Steve is faced with a resurgent threat from his past: Hydra is back, and stronger than ever."

So is the the "Back from the Dead?" thing? Because if so, I called it.

Also, sounds like Captain America Inc.

 

[MisterHero]

okay

the costume and shield both suck though

Everything about this image is awful.

That looks terribad.

He wasn't dead so I doubt it. Also, Marvel would've said so if it were the case.

Nah, Steve's been alive for a while. He had (I believe) the Super Soldier serum removed from his body, so he was old. Sam took over as Cap.

Um, what is that shield?

 

[Loxley]

"Cap, what kinda gloves you want?"

"Fuck my shit up."

Steve always seems to be dead...well shows you how up to date I am on the comics side.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Is there anything special about that shield.

 

[JeffZero]

I don't know anything about comics and I was starting to wonder what the heck had happened to the MCU's Steve Rogers in the past few weeks.

 

[Eppy Thatcher]

That is just a god awful cover. Everything about it. Wow.

 

[Zekes!]

Sam is like "I'm keeping the shield, nigga"

 

[Sandfox]

The new shield makes sense given that it will produce energy blades and split in two. Steve getting new toys is really nice.

 

[Scientist Supreme!]

Cover is shit hopefully the comic looks better.

Steve always seems to be dead...well shows you how up to date I am on the comics side.

He was super old this time.

 

[Messypandas]

His ears sticking out looks really lame.

 

[Slayven]

Is he still going to be a cranky asshole?

Pay what you owe Rogers

Shield is hideous/

 

[Afrodium]

Is he still old? I don't really follow Cap comics and haven't read much ANAD, but isn't he just an old guy now? Like, he's still got the personality of Captain America but he mainly gives orders from SHIELD HQ because he's got an old man body. This whole time he could have just slipped on a suit and done Captain America things sans-serum?

 

[MartyStu]

This makes me me unhappy.

Extremely so.

This is the kind of shit I expect from DC.

 

[Slayven]

This makes me me unhappy.

Extremely so.

This is the kind of shit I expect from DC. And I love DC, so I get over it.

But not this. Never this...

2 Captain Americas

Separate but equal.

He's going to become young again this Spring.

 

[Shaanyboi]

I am way more bothered by the shield than the costume. Gloves are kinda nonsensical though.

Standoff ends with him young again, Sharon too for some odd reason, COMICS!

I don't mind 2 Caps but Slayven nailed it, he's fucking SuperPro.

 

[Vyer]

Man, it really sounds like 'we don't really know what to do here, but there's a movie coming out so..."

 

[jackdoe]

This makes me kind of miffed that Marvel wouldn't let two Caps run around when it was Bucky's turn. But it's great that they aren't shuffling Sam into the abyss.

comic book characters who should never be allowed to change from their classic costumes:

God. The more i think about it, the angrier it makes me.

It is not even the 'Two Captain Americas' thing. Marvel has been running that concept into the ground for years.

No, it is this nuSteve approach.

It is gross.

 

[Apoc29]

Is there anything special about that shield.

Looks like it can detect viruses while sitting in my Windows taskbar.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

That is pretty bad.

I think they can and should change, but they must look the same at a glance; the details can obviously be improved.

 

[Messypandas]

The shield wouldn't bother me so much if it didn't have that L at the bottom too.

 

[The Silver]

Just call him Big Cap

 

[Hagi]

Killing Sam off in the next shit tier event and returning to the status quo in 3..2..1

 

[Slayven]

Just call him Big Cap

Everything about that image is terribad in everyway possible.

"Cap, what kinda gloves you want?"

"Fuck my shit up."

lmao.

 

[Ivan 3414]

I don't see the big deal about the costume. It looks fine

 

[MartyStu]

3 Spider-Men
3 Spider-Women
2 Thors
2 Captain Americas
2 Hawkeyes

It was cute when it was only Hawkeye. Now this is fucking absurd.

Actually, scratch Thor. Where the fuck is Odinson?

 

[WarRock]

The shield has beam blades? Is he Deathscythe now?

 

[Hystzen]

Bucky at the back looks hilarious like they forget to tell him what direction they running in.

 

[Haines]

Its stuff like this that push me away from comics.

 

[Dennis]

Beyblades are back and more dangerous than ever.

Cap has had some really great redesigns but this is terribad.

Sam-Cap keeps best shield.

 

[Slayven]

Why folks acting like this is brand new?
