SUNMAN
None other than the legendary Stan Lee!!!!!!!!!!!
Stan the Man.
He is the most recognized creator. He is the heart and soul of Marvel comics!!!!!!!
So Steve Rogers is coming back.
First off what is up with the 600 thing, they did it with Thor and i think they did it with someone else too? Is that marvels new thing we are just going to randomly figure out how each character has 600 issues. I am not an expert but I thought Captain America would of hit before Thor since you know he had all those issues in the 1950's.
Okay so back on topic. I am really really ticked off on a number of levels. Especially since that interview that was released on marvel.com talking about it. They said they had been planning Captain America's return since his death, yet every other interview has been like "Oh we are not even thinking about Captain America's return. We know he will return at some point but right now we are not even thinking about it." So obviously this was not entirely true, a little annoyed by this but whatever I can get over it.
On top of this Caps death is completely pointless. They did not wait nearly long enough to bring him back for a couple of reasons. In the interview they say it is time for Cap to come back and see how much has changed since he died and all that. But in marvel time it has only been like six months. Why bring him back? What has changed? We had World War Hulk, but that did not really alter anything that much. The Skrull Invasion didn't really change the marvel world as much as you would think. Janet died and a lot of people are shell shocked and still shaken up over the invasion. Still besides Janet's death and all the Skrulls that died everything else is going to be the same.
Dark Reign will be the only big immediate differences Steve notices and we know that it will be resolved soon. I am assuming Captain America will play a role in that.
In my opinion it is so stupid to bring him back so soon. There was no point to killing him. And than we still have Bucky who is still getting use to being Captain America. He doesn't think he is as good as Steve was, and Bucky is basically still growing into being Captain America. This is exactly what I was worried they were going to do with Batman. DC was going to spend the entire time telling the story of Dick growing into the role of Batman than Batman would come out. Instead marvel does this with Cap. We never got to truly see Bucky as Captain America, he is still growing into the role.
Marvel should of treated Bucky like Wally. Where Wally was the Flash and actually filled Barry's boots. Bucky needed to get to that point and Marvel did not allow him too. Making Bucky Captain America completely pointless, IMO. And I know people are speculating Steve coming back and not being Captain America again. Honestly who else would he be?! And the title is Captain America reborn not Steve Rogers Reborn. If he is brought back from the dead I see no way he does not take up the mantle of Captain America again.
And than there is the fact that this is a total marketing thing. Now maybe I am wrong (doubtful) but think about it. The comic is called Captain America Reborn. I am sorry but does that not sound ridiculously similar to a DC series that is doing rather well. (Hint hint, Flash Rebirth!!!!!) Marvel must have bee,n" look how well this series is going for DC lets do one of those. Now who is a major character we have killed off recently."
I question how story driven this comic is. It seems more sales driven to me.
Than on top of this marvel went on how the marvel universe is about consequences. And how this death will not be like Superman's where he just comes back 2 years later. I personally felt that DC brought Superman back really fast. IMO Captain America should have stayed dead 5 to 7 years minimum. Its ridiculous that they brought him back. It totally destroys the story of his death. It makes that story completely pointless and meaningless.
I hope for marvel's sake this story is amazing. Right now I cannot fathom how it will be or how Cap will comeback. It just doesn't make sense right now. Maybe I am overreacting to this, but its when this stuff happens that people do not take comic death seriously.
With the pulse pounding return of Jaime Reyes in his own backup story at last.
Dundun duh!

Quick Synopsis/Tease:
"Werewolves (and a whole lot more) in the Old West.
A grumbly, bounty-hunter, Matthew Macgregor, investigates a series of strange happenings in the dusty Texas town of Blest - where drought has brought famine and hardship to most of the town and surrounding ranches. Unfortunately, that's the least of the town's worries! While the summer heat pushes the mercury toward further unbearable degrees during the day, the nights are haunted by strange, unnatural creatures roaming the darkness.
While Macgregor, a former Pinkerton agent, seeks to uncover the towns dark secrets, he tries desperately to keep his own hidden - secrets of a past steeped in witchcraft and the supernatural. When the sun sets it'll be a showdown at High Moon.
From the horrors of Blest, Texas to the mountainous mysteries of Ragged Rock, Oklahoma, werewolf-hunter Macgregor investigates a series of murders following a bizarre train robbery. But, do his true motivations belie a sinister past? Soon, the town murders become the least of his worries as he finds himself caught in a vendetta, forced to do battle with a technological monstrosity. As he confronts his own dark origins, Macgregor must make the ultimate decision: live like a beast, or die like a man?"
I am not going to go into much detail or write any spoilers about this because you should really read this comic yourself.
Here is the web address you can read the first three chapters online for a limited amount of time:
http://www.zudacomics.com/high_moonThe art is okay, it is not amazing but I am okay with it.
people should just stay dead(gone since he is not technically dead)!
Sure he can return, once in a while or in a special event (some multi verse junk)
But allow characters who have been in the DCU since the beginning to establish themselves. Look at Wally, Dick, Roy, Kyle.
Enough with this Barry and Hal junk.
