Captain America: Reborn

I trust Brubaker to give us a good story and he has 4 more issues for this to make sense. However, after reading Reborn #1, I just felt like the Red Skull and crew went to a lot of trouble ... to do what? OK, Steve is "unstuck" in time. Sharon is the "constant". Sounds like Desmond and Penny. Kind of cool. We'll get some great visuals if Cap visiting different parts of his life.
Right now the story comes off as some crazy rube goldberg machine that I can't see the end of.

Bah. Too logical. It would've used established, in continuity, SHIELD tech, and would've supposed that Fury anticipated an assassination attempt on someone's part, and would've smuggled the real Cap out after his arrest. It would also have lead to several exciting stories of Cap's life undercover, maybe setting the stage for Norman Osborn's ultimate fall after Dark Reign, before taking up his shield and costume again in a triumphant return.

No, better the bullets-that-alter-time-and-relative-dimensions-in-space. Doctor Who swears by 'em. You can get 'em at your local gun shop, next to the amnesia bullets from the Wolverine film.

All this talk of bullets of late has me wondering if Marvel's been co-opted by the NRA.

I wonder if Cap will be the one to take out Normy and set things back right in the MU. It would have been a more dramatic reveal to have him triumphantly show up in Osborne's SHIELD office and kick his arse, tho. You'd think Quesadilla and company would have learned from the mess they made of Spidey with the "cosmic continuity fix" they wouldn't have gone this route with Cap.

Ideally, I'd love it if it was Spidey taking Norman down once and for all, in public. Been waiting for that since they brought Norman back (healing factor? Are you kidding me?) way back when.

Still, if/when Cap comes back, it should be triumphant, like you said - the Marvel Universe right now is most depressing and dark, and Cap's return should be the kick in the keister to get the heroes morale up again.

As for Quesada, as a writer, he's a good artist! Anytime Joe gets an idea in his head, somebody should give him a cookie and send him on his way so the writers can do their freakin' jobs.
