Teaser for Captain America #600

[foxhack.insanejournal.com]

Spoilers, of course.

Yes, that's Femme!Bucky from the Heroes Reborn titles. She was transported to Earth 616 at the end of Onslaught Reborn (which I've been meaning to post for a while, but you know. LIEFELD and LOEB.)

If there's interest in me posting stuff from that series I will.

Edit: I forgot the source! IO9 is where I saw this posted. Sorry!

That is a super-cool costume she's got.

[aaron_bourque.insanejournal.com]

Her being Bucky's Bucky would be . . . something.

[proteus_lives.insanejournal.com]

That pic and costume design are awesome.

This will be interesting....

[dorksidefiker.insanejournal.com]

Loving the uniform, but I don't trust the creative team any further than I could throw them.

[foxhack.insanejournal.com]

You don't trust Brubaker? Why? o_O

[kd_the_movie.insanejournal.com]

It's interesting that Bru is using an alternate universe plot point, it's so far removed from the military/espionage/24-esque feel of the book.

[icon_uk.insanejournal.com]

Bucky, being on Counter-Earth now rather than in another universe, is part of the main MU, though admittedly a part that tends to get overlooked... A LOT!

[pyrotwilight.insanejournal.com]

Hmmm.

REBORN you say? Where'd I hear that title earlier?

[foxhack.insanejournal.com]

... I dunno. :P

[ian_karkull.insanejournal.com]

I can't believe somebody remembered this!
Or more accurately: I can't believe Brubaker got this okayed instead of instantly being bludgeoned to death by Editorial, due to the character's association with He Who Must Not Be Named Except In Wailing All Caps Of Despair.

Either way, she looks hella cool here.

I think Bru's gonna knock this one out of the park, myself. I can see Rikki teaming up with the 50's Cap, myself, purely due to the fact that he's probably the closest thing to the Cap of her world.

Still, I do find it curious that Bru would pick her up as a character, but, that said, the less he mentions the alternate-world and Onslaught stuff, the easier it's going to be to fit her in. As it is, it really is difficult to guess where he'll put her, really, but somehow, I just don't see her being Bucky's Bucky.

Costume is gooooorgeous. My goggle fetish strikes again!

[hybrid2.insanejournal.com]

What happened to counter Earth in that? I did'nt even know OR actualy finished,i remember the previews being dredful.
That mean she's been on Earth the WHOLE time and only show up now?

[hybrid2.insanejournal.com]

normally i would ask for scans but i'll spare the cummunity.

[demonprawn.insanejournal.com]

Brubaker's just doing this to show off. "Look I'm gonna make you like a character created by Liefeild AND Loeb."

I'll admit, this image is a good start. The costume is Awsomesauce.

[yaseen101.insanejournal.com]

A little enlightnment here? Who is this woman?

[jcbaggee.insanejournal.com]

She's affectionately called Girl Bucky. She was Cap's Bucky in the Heroes Reborn bubble universe that existed for a year after Onslaught.

[nagaoka.insanejournal.com]

That is a seriously awesome design.

[statham1986.insanejournal.com]

Okay, so, to all the dolts over at Newsarama who thought that this was Sharon, becoming Bucky's sidekick, I offer a resounding finger and a smug laugh, as eager to grab any victory as I can.

[ashtoreth.insanejournal.com]

Er, what IS her name from the world she's from?

[volksjager.insanejournal.com]

I just hope the sun comes up in that book. It's SOOOO dark I quit it. I realize the whole cap is dead thing , but yikes...

[lieut_kettch.insanejournal.com]

Whoa! Franklinverse! Bucky. So she'll be Bucky's... Bucky? Buckucky?

[arilou_skiff.insanejournal.com]

I'll go to hell for this:

Bukkake?

[menagerie.insanejournal.com]

I love that cover. I don't care about anything else happening, but I love that cover.

[neuhallidae.insanejournal.com]

This. I'm kinda meh on the concept, but damn, that image is nice.

[box_in_the_box.insanejournal.com]

Wake me up when the real Cap is back.

Bucky!Cap was genuinely interesting for a while, but it's gone on so long that it's killed my interest.

And, yeah, the creepy misogynist undertones of his writing of Sharon have done her no favors, either.

[ashtoreth.insanejournal.com]

One of the podcasts actually claimed that they liked Cap!Bucky so much that Marvel would have to *sell* original Cap when he returns.

My tolerance began to fail when Bucky refered to Natasha as his 'best friend'. It's like they've forgotten what we actually liked about the Winter Soldier or something.

[greenmask.insanejournal.com]

I may pick up an issue or two just for the uniform.

Then I shall study the pages carefully, to try and learn how to get my hair to lay so flat over goggles/a mask. Jelluss.


Also, I am given joy from the way that only ONE of her lips is outlined! She may not even be wearing lipstick at all.

[yotsuba123.insanejournal.com]

Hmmm....how old was she?

If she's a teen, putting her in Young Avengers would be awesome.

[foxhack.insanejournal.com]

I think she was less than eighteen, but a long time has passed since Heroes Reborn...

[liarashadowsong.insanejournal.com]

Dig the uniform. Not going to commit to an opinion on anything else at this point.

[buttler.insanejournal.com]

Wow. I hated Heroes Reborn, but this sounds like an awesome idea. Well played.
