Why does Steve's half of the shield look so old and dirty?

Could this be... foreshadowing?

I think it's more "look at all his experience!!"

Only, you know, vibranium-steel alloys don't get gouged or chipped like that.

I really hope this is just Steve and Bucky being like, "No, YOU be Captain America," over and over again.

If "obscure third party" = Rikki Barnes, I could live with that (for a few months, but Steve needs to be Cap f'realz)

I'm a sucker for a good character story, but shouldn't this be two/three pages, maximum? No way Bucky would keep on to the shield if Steve returned.

Also, I imagine Bucky won't be going back to the Winter Soldier guise, although I doubt they'll let him be a second Cap. New identity? Most likely.

Would depend on what Steve wanted, I suppose. Conceivably he might want some time off.

I imagine that this'll be an issue of setting the scene for whatever the status quo is after Reborn.

I said it before and I'll say it again. I would love to see Steve become "General America" a political force of might for the Superheroes of the world. Being the quinquennial hero he would be perfect to advocate for the rights and voice of the Heroes.

Not wear a costume but be there to help heroes in the background or as a trainer, allowing his protege and good friend to keep the mantle. Let Steve become a General in the battle against evil. Then again, I find if they continued with how they've been running Bucky/Cap as a bit more of an espionage thing, this could fit really well into the books identity and could really lead to a great beginning to heal the Marvel universe post Civil War/Dark Reign. It would also allow Fallen Son to mean something later down the line, as it was a metaphorical death and subsequent rebirth for Steve, when he discovers the true power he has. Not just as a street brawler but as a political dynamo to help change the face of the world and eradicate injustice.

Bucky wouldn't stay Captain America unless Steve asked him to so I suspect all kinds of Angst!Steve. Having said that I think The Winter Soldier & The Black Widow have built enough of a fan base they could carry their own title. With Ricki Barnes becoming Steve's new Bucky, of course.

Dear Brubaker,

Your attempt at creating tension lacks a certain something, like tension. Blame your solid grasp of characterization. We all know that you're not about to commit Battle for the Cowl on us.

Yrs,
Fanbase

(My imagination goes something like this--
Steve: No, I passed the shield to you; it's yours now.
Bucky: No, it was always yours. I was just holding it for you.
Steve: Please, take it.
Bucky: You take it.
*repeat for fifteen or so pages, while the supporting cast gets increasingly bored and starts throwing out ever-more-ridiculous suggestions*
Bucky: Look, just take your fucking shield, okay?! Being Captain America was good, but it's yours. It was always yours.
Steve: Bucky--
Bucky: Besides, you'd pine for the shield. It would be tragic. I can't be responsible for a grown man going into fits of melancholy.
Steve: *I think this is time for manly hugs*
Bucky: *goes off and puts together an identity that doesn't have anyone else's fingerprints on it*
Steve: Avengers Assemble!
Supporting Cast: *cheers*)

Best case scenario: Steve becomes the brand spanking new director of SHIELD, whips Norman through the streets.

Bucky stays cap.

Reason? Hey, how about that change thing I hear so much about!

Wouldn't he be the Director of H.A.M.M.E.R. now?

Granted, given just who in the hell this is, S.H.I.E.L.D. would be much more apt...
