Remender, Romita Jr. Take Over "Winter Soldier" (or "Captain America") in November

[0bsessions]

Yeah, I don't see this as Winter Soldier in any capacity. Captain America, the super soldier, is associated with blue and has been rumored to end up with Remender for a while.

Additionally, Winter Soldier has always been Brubaker's baby and likely has no reason to exist as a title without him on it.

I don't see any feasible way this is Winter Soldier as opposed to Cap.

Romita Jr. on Cap as rumored. Sigh. I guess I won't be buying the first arc.

[Wild Styles]

It's very obvious this is Captain.

[jpbl1976]

Haha! CBR did a slight turn. They realized they stupidly speculated Winter Soldier so now they've changed the title to WINTER SOLDIER OR CAPTAIN AMERICA.

It's awesome how some people can't admit a mistake outright...

[Wellman]

I wish they would have switched the team Winter Soldier/Captain America with the team they are placing on Fantastic Four.

Romita's art seems more at home with a Fantastic Four series and I think despite his most recent successes being in things like Uncanny X-Force and Venom, Rememder is better capable of tackling the lighter super science atmosphere then Fraction, who is usually at home with more darker aspects.


All I can do is hope they prove me wrong.

I enjoy a lot of Remender's work, but I'm taking this opportunity to jump off Cap for now. After, what, like 7 years of Brubaker's run I think I'm going to take a break from the title.

Also, is Remender just a machine or what? How many ongoings is he going to take on? Prolific is something of an understatement.

I count four but he'll probably leave either Uncanny X-Force or Secret Avengers (if not both).

This seems as good a confirmation as any that he'll be off Secret Avengers after the "Rise of the Descendants" arc. Can't imagine he'll continue with three Avenges titles, the Bendis precedent notwithstanding.

And if it turns out it IS Winter Soldier, will all of you?

Unless Romita, Jr. improves his current style and stop rushing his breakdowns....no thanks to either.

But I agree...CBR has been slipping a bit.

[Hockstatter]

I was PO'ed until I clicked the link and saw it was obviously for Cap and not WS. CBR's crack news team is unable to count to potato.

[Orin]

Yeah, pretty sure this is for Captain America, not Winter Soldier. Anyway, very inspired choice, if you ask me. Should definifly be interesting to see what Remender comes up with for Cap.

[CSPDX]

I got the impression from the last interview he gave with CBR that he had a number of stories lined up post Final Execution. Personally, I'd be shocked if he left X-Force, it's the title that made him a name and it seems like he has a lot invested in the book. I hadn't heard anything about Secret Avengers, although it seems like he's just getting around to ramping up the meta-story. I wouldn't be too surprised, as it wouldn't be the first time he left a book in the middle of an ongoing storyarc (see: Venom).

[aNamored]

Whoa...
This one I did no see coming. I heard the Remender Cap rumor but Bucky too?
"Soldier" could very well mean Cap, right?

Quoted in agreement. If Ed and his great art team leaves Winter Solider, I will cease buying individual issues and wait for trade paperbacks used. I just cannot fathom anyone else writing that character.

Edit: Yeah it is Cap. Whew.

[rsreed13]

As others have said, I'm pretty sure this is for Cap. I like Remender, but I'm not really a Cap fan. I'll probably check out the first issue on a few of these titles, and then drop them as needed.

I'm really not a big fan of Fraction, though I did enjoy Hawkeye #1, so I might check out his Fantastic Four.
