Alex Ross designs a new Cap

Debuting in January's issue 34. Thought the actual news deserved a thread.

If it's the Winter Soldier wearing a new Cap uniform, that's going to make for some interesting stories.

It definitely fits Bucky. I like the design, apart from the shininess.

I believe this is the case and tried to post this in the other thread but SOMEONE closed the thread as I sumitted it!  

In the last issue of Captain America Stark read a note from Cap asking him to insure Bucky gets help and that the Captain America identity and ideal lives on.

I still miss Steve Rogers...

Cap with a gun?!! Really gives a whole new meaning to quot;I'm gonna bust a CAP in yo ass!!quot;

I was just hoping that wouldn't happen...

The gun and dagger say Bucky to me.

I'm about 65 percent finished reading the Captain America Omnibus. I haven't read these stories before because, like a lot of people, I didn't start reading the new Cap series until the issue he was killed. I am totally blown away by the greatness of the series. It is without reservation one of the best comic book series I have ever read. In my mind, this Cap run ranks with Miller's Dark Knight, Claremont/C0ckrum/Byrne's Uncanny X-Men and Starlin's Death of Captain Marvel. I have no higher praise.

So, although I really don't like the look of a Captain America toting a gun and knife, I have complete faith in Ed Brubaker. His Captain America series has been nothing short of astounding.

Looks more kevlar than chainmail.  The top coming to a point at the waist looks more like a woman's Summer bandana top than a Cap costume.  Survey says:  quot;eh.quot;.

I'm not much of a Ross fan but the costume looks okay.  I'm okay with Bucky replacing Cap, that's how it should be, but I still don't think Steve Rogers will stay dead.

Also, I like the way Epting drew the old costume much better:Edit: The more I look at the Epting pic, the less I like the costume.

I would have liked them to reintroduce the 'mask over the ears' design from the Golden Age.
