The All-New Captain America!

Here is a first look at the new Captain America designed by Alex Ross. We still don’t know who is under the mask but his gun may indicate that this is the Winter Soldier aka James Bucky Barnes.
Steve Rogers, the Sentinel of Liberty, was cut down in a hail of gunfire in March’s CAPTAIN AMERICA #25. And whether or not you agree with the decision, he’s still dead. But a character as iconic and important as Cap can never truly die. Who better to reimagine Cap for a new age, a new character, a new costume, than Alex Ross? Working closely with Ed Brubaker, Steve Epting and Tom Brevoort, Captain America makes his return—or debut, if you prefer—in January’s CAPTAIN AMERICA #34.
So why did it take nine months to reinstate Captain America? Rest assured, it was all in the cards. “This was always the plan, to have—with issue #34, halfway through the whole big, ‘Death of Captain America’ epic story—[a new Cap],” explains Brubaker. “So, you know, it’s all very, very planned out, believe it or not. [Laughs] I have an extensive notebook that I sometimes lose. [Laughs] Which is kind of traumatic.”

There is the Comic called “Captain AMerica: The Return”. I’m pretty sure that guy is the one who’ll be te new Cap.

I remember when Steve Rogers was killed some groups went nuts calling it all anti-American. I wonder how they will respond now that Cap is back and carries a gun! lol

If Bucky is the new Cap then how does he have superpowers? I remember Bucky never did had any super abilities, unless he was injected with the super soldier serum then that would make sense.

Though there is nothing in the image that indicates the new Cap has superpowers, Bucky does have a cybernetic arm. Maybe that arm will aid him in tossing the shield.
