Awesome JBB! I just got some free time to sit back, relax and do some reading. Perfect timing!

So glad to see the villain's return (are we not spoiling it here? I know some don't like the spoilers). What they did in his team book is all good and fine but it did take him out of the Cap book for a long time when he should be one of the big guns in Cap's rogues gallery.
Also (spoilers), Crossbones, if I heard it right, is going to be on a new Thunderbolts team written by Jeff Parker. Sounds like a Suicide Squad-type book but how can anyone redeem or trust Crossbones at this point? __________________
Also, on Guice now as the regular artist, if this was Guice circa 1987 I'd be worried but the guy's style has changed and we've seen him on Cap before in recent years. Works just fine with me. __________________
*Sigh* Why bring Steve back if he isn't going to play a major part in the Marvel U. For now he is in Siege but after that he is going to "from time to time" appear in Captain America. The Avengers series starting in May will feature Bucky as Cap and so far appears that Steve will not be in the line up. I hope that they have something important for Steve to do or else they would have brought him back for no reason.
Reborn to Retire.

Exactly, if Steve isn't Cap, might as well kill off Peter Parker, or Tony Stark?
I like Bucky as Cap, but when Steve's back, give him the suit back...

To cover all, I do like guice's artwork, especially the way he can cover so many classic Cap styles. As for Steve's apparent inactivity as Cap, I'm glad he's back so we're not wondering when he'll return. Maybe it's just a matter of time till something comes up where he will have no choice but to return as Cap. Buck may encounter an issue that makes him go to Steve and tell him he's just not cut out for this level of responsibility. Who know's we may get to see a point where Steve and Buck become a team again. I'd love to see them as Cap and the Winter Soldier.

Yeah, it's me again. I forgot to throw out the question, does anyone know why Steve Epting isn't returning as artist. I know he did say in an interview that once The Marvels Project was finished he'd be returning to Cap.
