As a huge fan of the work of Ed Brubaker, I freely admit to being jaded as to the fate of this title, and it's future. I enjoy the return of this character, and the work and stories provided by everyone involved, but it also probably only has a shelf life until the second Cap movie comes and goes. Just being honest. I want to continue on with this book as I'm loyal to the Captain America brand and have been since the 'Tales of' days WAAAAY back when, and while I wish the new team all the best, I honestly am on the fence to continue buying this book.

I say that as someone that dumped the Batman and Detective titles (after 30 plus years,) a good 18 months before the 'NuDC' got its hooks in, and honestly haven't missed them a bit. They were around even longer than Cap and the Avengers, a franchise I can now return to after the Bendis stank disappates. It's bittersweet but I'm bored.

We'll see.

I am also on the uncertain side here - burnt on the character etc., I've read a few books with Nic's art and just stumbled across one that could be a good preview to his WS run: Dancer from Image http://www.imagecomics.com/comics/5096/Dancer-TP - sounds a lot like the current WS run. The guy on the cover looks like Bucky too.

I am not crazy about that Bucky illustration so I will wait and see.

Didnt Nic Klein do those awesome Annihilation Conquest mini series covers for Star Lord?

Those were nice covers.

We'll see with this book. It's a character I like.......but under Brubacker. I dont know if anyone will be able to follow that. I already know that Remender and JRjr's Cap isnt getting on my pull list (because JRjr just isnt the art style I enjoy and the dimension hopping is so far removed from the Cap I've liked), it would be a shame if this departs drastically from what I enjoy about WS

That pose Bucky is in looks very strange, and if he didn't look enough like the Comedian before he certainly does now.

VERY appropriate choice. I am excite!

Yes Nic did those amazing Star Lord covers. I prefer his covers to his interiors.

Is any artist better on interiors than covers?

I think him and Latour are bound to have some great chemistry.

I'm sticking with it because I like character. I just don't see the title sticking around that long because even under Bru its barely selling above 20K. I'm guessing we'll get another 5-6 issues.

I don't like Ribic's covers at all, but I love his interiors. Same with Djurdjevic.

I'm wondering if they might try to at least keep it going until the next movie comes out. There would likely be something of a sales bump then if they did manage it.
