    Captain America

    Character » Captain America appears in 11752 issues.

    During World War II, Steve Rogers volunteered to receive the experimental Super-Soldier Serum. Enhanced to the pinnacle of human physical potential and armed with an unbreakable shield, he became Captain America. After a failed mission left him encased in ice for decades, he was found and revived by the Avengers, later joining their ranks and eventually becoming the team's leader.

    Captain America Worth it? And new costume?

    Hey all. I recently started branching out once more to different comics and i wanted to know if the current Captain America reads were worth it? I was going to collect Captain America Ultimate but not sure what other recent good reads of him there are. As Steve Rogers NOT Bucky. ;p 
     
     
    Also i have been reading that he has a new costume... could someone post a pic of it?

    I'd say if you're looking into getting into some Cap, now is the best time to do so and yes, its definately worth it. Ed Brubaker's run on the series has been amazing and of all the Cap stories i've read his is my favorite. Here's the entire run of trades in order and starting from the begining would be a good place to jump in. The first volume gives alot of info about Cap's history and it was the book that got me hooked. 
     
    Captain America: Winter Soldier: Book One 
    Captain America: Winter Soldier: Book Two  
    Captain America: Red Menace: Book One 
    Captain America: Red Menace: Book Two 
    Captain America: Civil War 
    The Death of Captain America Vol. 1: Death of a Dream 
      
    **At this point Bucky takes over as Cap but if you read this far you'll probably be hooked and want to keep reading**
      
    The Death of Captain America Vol. 2: The Burden of Dreams 
    The Death of Captain America Vol. 3: The Man Who Bought America 
    Captain America: The Man with no Face 
    Captain America: Road to Reborn 
    Captain America: Reborn 
    Captain America: Two Americas 
    Captain America: No Escape 
     
    Hope this helps. I've read almost every Cap trade and while Brubaker's run is hands down the best, another awesome run from the early 80's is collected in a trade called War and Remembrance by Roger Stern and John Byrne. I can't read most older comics because they put me to sleep but this one was great. And finally as far as Cap having a new costume, you might have read that Steve Rogers is now playing a Nick Fury type of role as America's new top cop of the security of the country, and he wears a new costume, so maybe that's what you heard of. Also i heard that the Cap series is going to be relaunched in June so i guess it wouldn't surprise me if they gave him a more modern costume though as a hardcore fan i hope they don't.

    @Kallarkz: Here's the outfit, although I'm not sure if he's still using it or not.

    I'd definitely say Cap's regular series is worth it.   
    You'd have to decide for yourself on all the reent mini's and one-shots.  I'm a big Cap fan but I have only found a couple of them to my liking.
