Oh, geez. "Truth" ought to be buried in the dungheap of awful PC ideas executed as horrid comics. It certainly ought not to be the basis for a new direction for the Cap book.

Of course, knowing Da Q and company, no bad PC idea will not be milked...

" The name of the program was “Project Rebirth.”

Yes...that's the same program that made Steve Rogers Cap, not justexperimented on black soldiers.
1. Whether Steve comes back in Reborn or not, he will be back (and was always meant to come back, as part of Brubaker's long-term story arc). If you've seen or heard any Alex Ross interviews regarding Cap and read between the lines, he basically confirms it..

I predict the new Captain America will be President Obama, just so Marvel can have him on the cover every month. cha-ching!

I like Rogers dead, I like new Bucky-Cap, and I like what Brubaker is doing. I'm pulling for something that doesn't mess with the above.

I'd rather see Captain Bucky take Patriot on as a protege than Heroes Reborn Bucky.

I'm thinking we'll see the black Captain America teaming up with Heroes Reborn Bucky with Bucky Captain America as... Team America?

Too much?

I agree with many of the above comments. I do think this will have something to do with the Heroes Reborn Cap, though admittedly, I've never read any of that stuff. Is that Cap still alive? I personally would like to see more done with Isaiah Bradley, especially with a different artist. I don't think it has anything to do with Hammond, who seems to be and afterthought at this point. It seems like very few people read the last Invaders series, and nobody cared when he died toward the end of that run. Just a though/question... Could this be a reference to Bucky undergoing the same Project: Rebirth procedure as Cap, making him an actual super-soldier?

If it is tied in to Truth..., I will be much more interested than a return of Steve Rogers. I honestly think he needs to stay dead for a while longer.

Anybody else think it's the return of Jim Hammond, the original Human Torch? With Marvel hyping their 70th anniversary everywhere, it seems a good bet that they re-introduce one of their original heroes. His (dead) body was just featured in the last couple issues of Cap. And Marvel's media coverage of the event could be tied into their 70th anniversary and the return of one of their first creations. Steve Rogers is not coming back for a long time. It reminds me of the whole Wally West/Barry Allen debate: Barry didn't come back for 22 years because Wally fit in so seamlessly-same with Bucky. I personally don't care if Steve Rogers ever comes back.

Oh my God, that would be incredible. It might even force me to switch to the monthlies.

It is obvious that it must have something to do with Cap in a roundabout way. I agree that this will not be the return of Steve Rogers....not yet. It really looks like Brubaker is happiest with it the way it is now and Bucky wearing the uniform. This story has a lot of milage left in it and I hope it will continue. That said, I must admit that I damn near howled out loud when I understood Bucky was coming back early in this run. Little did I know that this was going to be the greatest Cap epic ever. Yes I said that and mean it. Been reading Cap[ since Avengers 36 (Vol. 1 ) and Tales of Suspense 82 or 83 or so. Though there have been some great runs in the times since then nothing can equal what Brubaker had done with his run. He actually made Bucky coming back work. Something I thought couldn't be done. He has earned my everlasting admiration for this and my hat is off to him. I hope he's still here for #700. Chances are, I think, that it will revolve around Heroes Reborn from Vol. 2. Must say , though, that there is a lot of fertile ground left untilled with The Truth too.
