Captain America Comes Back to Life!
Marvel Comics announced today that Steve Rogers, the original Captain America who was killed two years ago during the "Civil War" storyline, will be coming back to life in "Captain America" #600, followed by the upcoming series "Reborn." The Cap issue hits comic book shops this Wednesday, and the first issue of "Reborn" on July 1st.
"Reborn" editor Tom Brevoort told ComicsAlliance that while he can't reveal exactly how Rogers comes back to life, "we had the mechanism by which Steve comes back in place in when he died. And even before that issue, there were hints and clues that are about to start paying off."
To honor the return of the original American hero, Chris Sims of the Invincible Super-Blog helped ComicsAlliance collect some of the greatest and most hilarious moments from the nearly 70-year career of Captain America.
