If this is how Captain America's book will be in the forseeable future, what's the use in bothering?
Ed Brubaker just recently told Newsarama in an interview the following regarding Capt. America:
I see no reason to read this current series if they're going to actually do it without even a substitute wearing the Cap costume (then again, I don't approve of the Punisher wearing one over in his series either), and come to think of it, I don't see why this should have to be published. This is just a whole lot of baloney, and is part of Marvel's increasing contempt for the audience.
Brubaker, IMO, is a knee-jerker, and is not worthy of respect.
NRAMA: Let's touch upon a prediction or two...first off, there was the feeling that Cap would be back...heck, even with issue #26...from the preview...probably not?I'm not impressed. For some time, they've been making it sound as though they're building up to something, yet are clearly trying to fleece the audience by dragging things on and on with no clear way to tell if this is ever going to have a decent ending to it. That and whole idea of not letting the audience know exactly what's to come are dishonest.
EB: Nope. Not in issue #26. There won't be anyone running around in a Cap costume in the book for a long time, honestly. This is the start of an epic, and I'm going to let the story unfold at the proper pace. We've got a lot more eyes on us all of a sudden, so I don't want to mess up any detail. The scope here is grand.
