Interesting. Is he only back for 20 years? ---

> [@The New and Improved Superman](#): > > Some times when reading the convoluted “event” storylines for comic books these days, I kind of wish the characters would just wake up in their beds and say “Wow! It was all just a dream!” Closest to that would be the Brand New Day reboot for Spidey, and that was just as bad as any other convoluted event storyline. ---

> [@TBG](#): > > Closest to that would be the Brand New Day reboot for Spidey… No, it wasn’t. One of the big two problems with OND/BND was that they _didn’t_ just render the previous plot discanon by authorial fiat, they had Spider-Man _sell his marriage_ to the _devil_ to do it. The other problem was that Quesada was being a douchebag and wanted to retcon something that shouldn’t have been retconned. ---

I didn’t say it was a perfect fit, just it’s about as close as you’ll find for an “in continuity” story. ---

Actually, while Steve Rogers is back, he is not currently Captain America. He left Bucky with that job and went off to run SHIELD. Bucky is a much cooler Cap IMHO. ---

I read the first response and thought, “No, that’s Bruce Wayne”, not having read CA’s revival. Now I’m glad I didn’t. Icebergs would have been better. Note to comic book companies - stop killing off characters when planning to bring them back even before they are dead. Note to comic book buyers - stop buying the shit because as long as you do, they’ll keep killing them off and bringing them back under even more idiotic premises.
