Tenth Anniversary Celebration: One Perfect Moment - The Return of Captain America

[khaosworks]

This was one of my first entries to scans_daily, part of the "One Perfect Moment" series. The sheer joy of seeing Cap return and the triumphant way it was done still thrills me.




From Captain America: Reborn #6. So the Red Skull has been transferred into a robotic body that, due to reasons I won't go into, has been turned into a gigantic form. Naturally, being trapped in a robotic body doesn't go well with the Red Skull, who decides to take it out on Washington D.C. and the Avengers.



The Avengers are seeming a bit outclassed, when... well, let's just say help is on the way.



One familiar voice, shouting out orders, rallying the troops...



A voice that could command a god...



Yes. Yes it is.



And after three years that has included a Civil War, the Death of Captain America, a Secret Invasion, a Dark Reign and a Siege, after the darkness the Marvel Universe has seen itself immersed in, when everything seemed to have hit rock bottom and hope seemed lost...

Steve's back. Everything is going to be all right.

And that is how you do it.

Naw, the clouds would have parted just as soon as Steve took Skull out no matter what. Steve and God had this whole thing planned out while Steve was still in heaven.

Steve: Okay, so when I knock down the Skull for the last time, I'm gonna raise my shield triumphantly, then you're gonna part the clouds so the sun shines on it, and its gonna look so cool.

God: Come on Steve, you know I can't play favorites like that.

Steve: Come on God, you owe me. Remember that time I beat up Satan for you in the Golden Age?

God:... Aw okay, I can never say no to you Steve. Lets do this.

Steve Rogers and God: Bros for life.

That is canon for me, now.

Well Marvel God is Jack Kirby, so I can see this happening.
