"Well, funny enough, there's this awful movie serial made in the '40s with Cap where he had no shield, no wings on his mask, no white sleeves, little tiny gloves, and he carried a gun."

That's Alex Ross for you; always going back to ridiculous time periods to give us something new. He should team up with Frank Miller and do a project called, "The Dark Knight Goes to Hell."

Seems like it should be an interesting story. As for the new look, I can't say I'm a big fan. Alex Ross is a great artist, but something about the contrast from black, to those bright metallic colors looks kinda funky to me. When redesigning Captain America, it just seems like there are so many cool possibilities, but oh well. I do think Alex's idea to bring back iconic things from the past of the character is neat though.

Oh, I'm sure this new suit will stand the test of time. I mean, remember when they changed Spidey's suit?

Who said it was going to be permanent?

The solicitations state that this is the "second act" of Cap's Death (the Trade Paperback of "The Chosen" anyway)

Steve's supposed to be resurfacing in 2008, there will also be an Invaders prequel illustrated by Alex Ross where the Steve from the 1940s travels forward in time to meet The Avengers along with The Invaders, this is likely the prequel to his big return during The Skrull comic event.

So his return was inevitable, just like Superman.

Good, because Captain America's death was kinda lame IMO.

In context, it worked, but since CW made a dick out of so many characters, it didnt really do what it should have, it pissed people off, not interest them.

Joe's reign at Marvel has ruined everyone except FF, X-Men, and Hulk. How do they keep themselves sustainable? The writers are allowed to do what they want with the titles. Cap is currently very strong for the same reason.
