The New Captain America


I'm a little late getting this up there, but this morning Marvel released images of a new Alex-Ross designed Captain America, which will debut in Captain America #34 (Steve Epting drew this cover and is still the series' artist, don't worry).

Marvel made it clear that the man in this image is NOT Steve Rogers.

The question then becomes, who is this? All signs have always pointed toward Winter Soldier taking over the Red-White-and-Blue, and this costume, with the gun and the knife certainly points toward that. Still, this Cap's face doesn't strike me as Epting has drawn Bucky.

We do know that the rumors over Falcon or Sharon taking the Reins can now cease. And if Clint Barton was going to change his mind, I would think Cap would have a bow of some sort on his body.

Other guesses? My guess is this IS Bucky... but a Bucky under Red Skull's mind control...
