    Default Alex Ross on Captain America "The Return"

    Now this is something I have been hoping to see:

    later this year or early next Alex Ross is coming back to Marvel, once again paired with Jim Krueger for an as of now, unnamed, in-continuity project with…

    Well, either this is out of continuity, or that was fast.

    Could also be a story detailing his first few years out of the block of ice.

    Oh HELL yeah!

    Ross is amazing! I'd love to see hom do a WW2 era Invaders story. The one spash page in Marvels (at the end of #1 I believe) had me salivating a decade ago.

    Even just as a single story all on its own, this is what I've been missing:

    I don’t know how you can’t have an iconic, larger than life feel in a story when Captain America is involved. The very nature of doing any story related to Captain America is about iconography. His very power as a character has less to do with his being part of a super-solder program, and more with him having an effect upon a world of super-humans he is far weaker and more human than. Cap is a living symbol – more than Superman, more than Batman, he is all symbol. When Cap walks in a room, he has an effect upon everyone in it. That’s what’s at the core of his power.
    That Alex Ross would be doing this, goes beyond what I could have hoped for. Even if its as "In-continuity" as Justice.

    I dunno... the guy on our right looks like Bucky and the muscular armed guy on our left looks like it could be a certain undersea prince.

    What saddens me is Ross says :
    AR: Designer, cover artist, co-storyteller with Jim Krueger.

    NRAMA: So this isn’t going to be a situation like Justice where you do finishes over someone’s pencils?

    AR: Right – I’m on design, covers, and story only. This is more like Earth X or Astro City

    Meaning no interior art. :(

    Based on this . . .
    This particular project has been in the planning stages for two years. It’s just very ironic that something like Cap’s death would’ve happened in this same time frame, but as we go forward, we can work with that, and in many ways, that makes our story more poignant.
    . . . it sure doesn't sound like Cap's return post-CAP #25

    I'm betting it's either "AVENGERS #4"-era stuff or something WWII related.

    I fully expect any true return to happen in Cap's own regular series with Ed Brubaker at the helm, but while I'm waiting...I've got something fantastic to look forward to.

    It does look like Invaders-era.

    Personally, i don't expect a full modern day Stever Rogers as Captain America return until Captain America #50

    I'm hoping it's this. I love cap, but it's just too darn quick to bring him back to life. And the arms on his right and his left look like Namor and Bucky so it has to have some tie-in to the invaders...
    I'm STILL with Iron Man.

    Matt Brady on Newsarama said in the thread discussion that "in-continuity" means "present day" Marvel.

    My guess is that Cap and the Invaders (those hands on either side are clearly Namor and Bucky, with the flames behind suggesting the Torch) take a time-jaunt to the present day.

    Captain America has to come back,his death was meaningless in the first place.
