Marvel Comics confirms that Steve Rogers (the original Captain America) is still quite dead. So, who is the new man behind the mask (and the gun and knife)? Arriving in January 2008, “Captain America” #34 is sure to answer these and other pressing questions =) Place your orders today! Deadline is December 13, 2007.
I’m sure a lot of people will see the gun and automatically think: the Punisher. But, Frank’s just been put through the ringer in “Punisher: War Journal” as he wore his own version of Cap’s costume- so it can’t be him. Next best guess? The Winter Soldier! New readers may not be familiar with Cap’s long-lost-sidekick-turned-antihero-then-turned-hero. Check out “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” VOL 1 + 2 available now!

** UPDATE: **
Some more Captain America savvy readers have given me their theory: they think the new Cap will be that mysterious soldier (not the Winter Soldier) that made his debut only a couple issues ago. You’re probably right, Mike and Rob!
