I wonder if this may have something to do with Marvel celebrating their 70th anniversary...? I understand Brubaker & Epting are working on a mini-series that ties into Marvel's 70th and I daresay Captain America (Steve Rogers) would play a role in that.
Of course, I could be wrong.
Thinking about it... Marvel have teased the most wicked plot twist for Cap 600 so it could be something that may lead to the return of Steve Rogers.
My thinking is that Steve Rogers will return; it really is only a matter of time. We have to consider there will be a Captain America movie released in July 2011, coincidentally Cap's 70th anniversary. Before that point, I think its fairly safe to say Steve Rogers will return, although I wonder if his return will coincide with the 70th year and, of course, the movie...?
Ah, so many variables. All I can safely say, with any confidence...

If they never brought Steve Rogers back it would be too soon. His death was borderline iconic and has effected so many books in the Marvel universe that it would be an almost Spider-Man Brand New Day event to write all of that off. And then taking into account that we have a new Captain America anyway. _________________ Pro Massacre Boy!
Steve Rogers (Captain America) has never left, as in the break between WW2 and the beginning of the Avengers,
he wasn't there his spirit was, and is now more than ever.
the world doesn't need a Steve Rogers, it needs a Hero,
and dead or alive it is this level of heroism that inspires, so you see,
Cap cant come back, because he never left to begin with.
Tony Stark on the other hand.... _________________
I admit that I haven't read Captain America before this issue, but this looks like an "evil clone" story.
1) One character (Falcon, I recall) refers to "bad Cap" in the latest issue.
2) The first-post image is black-and-white, which is a colouring Marvel have been using for Dark Reign.
3) The new Steve Rogers has a sinister scar.
The Brubaker Cap has been great, well worth the price of the Omibus/TPBs.
After reading "The Death of Captain America" and a few recent issues, I'm convinced the series is not for me. From reading Brubaker's work, I think his main strength is his character development, but the story jumps around so much that I find myself forced to ignore an insightful comment in favour of what's going on with another character.
The first issue of Daredevil's "Return of the King" has been the best writing I've seen from Brubaker simply because the story stays in one place.
I wouldn't regard the "Death of Captain America" as a good place to "jump on" to Brubaker's Cap, as a lot of the ground work for that story was laid in the previous issues Bru wrote, as well as the current issues. _________________

It supported my opinions of the most recent issues; namely Brubaker's stories are not nearly as interesting as his characters, but Brubaker continues to devote his energy to the stories anyway.
