“It’s very reminiscent of the opening of Ultimates #1 – enough so that I can hear the angry fan outcry already. But then it goes in a completely different direction.”
Well, no. Not an outcry, more a sigh. Because ultimately (ho ho) I want to let the story play out. While Steve Rogers may be coming back – presumably thanks to some time travel or suspended animation malarkey – I don’t necessarily think he’ll be coming back as Cap, and I’m okay with that as I think there’s a lot more stories to tell with James Barnes as Captain America right now.
As for the art in the Reborn preview, Bryan Hitch likes his redesigned WWII Cap from Ultimates. I get that. And Cap wearing a helmet during World War II makes sense from a survival point of view. I get that.
But if it was good enough to take down the Ratzis back in the day, it’s good enough now.
But then I guess his helmet was redesigned early on anyway…
…so what do I know?

I'm REALLY not fond of that Reborn artwork. Why does it look so wonky? Cap looks like he's made of noodles. The anatomy is outta whack and the pose is just horendous.
I'm not a great fan of that artwork either. It looks like Cap has shattered his right ankle in teh most dramatic way possible. If that wasn't enough, he's missing his "sentinel of liberty"…if you know what I mean.
I'm a fan of Cap, have been for awhile now.
I've also enjoyed Brubaker's run on the series.
However, the actual story is pretty crappy.
I thought it was just me, but I had a couple of other folks look at it, and they agreed.
