      >Now it makes sense. "Franchising".

      Didn't they already do that with John Walker?

      And the full shot looks better; but the outfit looks like a generic minion costume, with a giant bullseye on the chest.

        Except they didn't launch Steve Rogers: The Captain into his own series, and USAgent didn't really go anywhere of note after he was booted from Cap role. West Coast Avengers, Force Works a couple of minis before being sent to Canada after being in limbo for a while. I guess he did appear in the iron Man cartoon and got an action figure.

        I'm sure their gearing up multiple Cap titles in anticipation of the upcoming film.

          That's a lovely piece of artwork, is that by Daniel Acuna?

            I'm intrigued by that full shot you posted, but it looks, as CTC said, like a minion/grunt, etc... It's cool, but not Captain America.

            Classic Cap is iconic and the sooner they bring Steve back in chain-mail w/ shield, the better IMO.

            But of course, I'm a traditionalist and have given up on most current comics...
            WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.

              I'm really surprised they left Winter Soldier/Bucky as Cap and did this to Steve, rather than doing the oppposite. Costume is very generic and clearly Fighting American inspired - I wish it was Bucky's.

              You know they're eventually going to have Rogers back in the traditional outfit. I'll be stunned if it doesn't happen by the movie's release.

                I'm fairly certain a Winter Soldier Bucky series is inevitable once Steve takes back the Shield. In the meantime, I'm enjoying Bucky Cap anyways.

                  It's kinda generic. Plus, no shield? That's his whole fighting style.
                  You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                    They have also just announced a Captain America: Patriot Series starring the guy who took over right after Steve Rogers disappeared.

                      ^^^ That guy went bonkers as Cap, might be interesting.

                        After seeing the full shot of Rogers costume, it ain't bad. Give him the old school cap helmet mask and shield and he'd be a pretty cool update to the Cap costume.

                            According to the writer, the high-concept for the Heroic Age status quo he and Marvel talent including Avengers architect Brian Michael Bendis struck upon for how the Marvel Universe would be organized was "Steve Rogers becomes the new Nick Fury of the Marvel Universe."

                              For some reason the costume reminds me of Airboy. It just gives me a headache to think of anyone else as Captain America other than Steve Rogers. I don't follow DC but have they ever done anything like this with Supes or Batman?
