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.

I enjoyed bucky cap and I enjoy Steve Cap. However Bucky cap had a style of modern Noir I really enjoyed, the guy who has had training and a disability (robot arm) who was trying to fill the ultimate human's shoes.

I definitely enjoyed Bucky's time carrying the shield as well. Legacy is something that Marvel doesn't do often, but Brubaker totally nailed it.
