"One Perfect Moment" -- This is quickly evolving into Captain America Is Awesome week...

proteus_lives mentioned this in a comment on the last Cap moment, so I thought I'd drop it in here real quick....



It comes from "Amazing Spider-Man" #330, part 11 of the 14 part Maximum Carnage mega-epic. Carnage's family has been wreaking much havoc and his "wife" Shriek has pushed the entire city to madness! Much looting and general violence ensues as a group of Marvel heroes team up to try and restore order. Most of them resort to fighting back, but Cap has a different method...



C'mon, how awesome is that?

As an added bonus, Cap's arrival to the battlefield in "Spectacular Spider-Man" #202, a moment that's always kinda stuck with me as one of Cap's best "hero shots". Spidey just got his webbed ass handed to him by Carnage and Shriek, who then took off with the severely weakened Venom, when...

My hope is that they bring him back only after we've gotten all of the good stuff out of the 'Bucky is Cap' storyline. I agree that it was a jarring decision to kill him in the first place, but now that they have, I think they should run with it until the story starts to get winded, and then resurrect the real Cap quickly before it starts wheezing. Because they ARE going to resurrect Cap. Of course they are. He's one of their main icons, for cryin' out loud; he's the guy that they put on lunchboxes next to Spidey and the Hulk. He is basically Marvel's Superman, the hero who made them successful in the first place back when they were just Timely - one of the most easily recognizable and iconic characters in the world. They can't possibly not bring him back - if nothing else, there's a Captain America movie coming out in a few years, and they always make sure that the comics mirror the movies as much as possible.
No, it's a foregone conclusion that he'll be coming back - the only question is, how will they do it? I fervently hope that they will follow the example of the 'Death/Return of Superman' storyline, which lasted a long time, but ended right when it should have. As with the current case, the hero was killed and apparently replaced - we're somewhere around the middle of that story, I think, at the part where the general public has kinda-sorta accepted Bucky as the new Cap. And if the similarities continue, the MU should be all the richer for it - 'Death/Return' gave us Steel, Superboy and the Cyborg, after all, not to mention the destruction of Coast City and the subsequent loonification of Hal Jordan. He'll be back - we just have to wait.
