Am I the ONLY one who seez the obvious route...?? Stevie boy picks up the mantle/burden that  was always his returns to doing what he does best, avenges Bucky  &wait for it Barnes comes out of his coma to assume the role of.... Yehh u totlly dint guess it.. DIRECTOR of SHIELD..  
 
I mean, who ELSE would be better for the role the guys been the winter soldier.. been through hell &back taken on a job NO man in his right mind would &not only handled it but flourished.. I say get Barrack to give him a full pardon etc make him the New shield Top Dog with Hand as his..erm right hand.. &Good Ole Saint Nick as his consigliere.. Perfect ending, goodnight

Captain America Incorporated? lol

Steve is and forever will be Captain America... I just hope to god they give Bucky a half decent suit to wear if they keep him around

 
, CAPTAIN AMERICA IS NOT BATMAN!  
 
 
No, bty there ARE very similar parallels. Bruce Wayn pushed himself to become this terror to the criminal element. He became what he was for a reason: Justice, so some degree. Steve Rogers was groomed to become a national symbol, as much a symbol of justice as batman is. Two different ways of looking at the same picture, but similarities exist.

But the big difference is that Batman IS Bruce Wayne, we've heard it a million times over and we've read about it in the comics. Bruce is the mask, where Batman is his true face. 
 
Im geting slightly off track here, but I too have heard this said. And I'll say what I said then: "If Batman is the true face of Bruce wayne, than This is a man who seriously needs MASSIVE psychological help, and is as much in need of a straightjacket as the Joker." 
 
Lastly, it's my opinion that no matter how good Bucky had grown into the role of Captain America, All along even he really knew the truth of it. As good as he was, there was only ONE true Captain America, and that's Steve Rogers

::snore:: Sorry, I just woke up from my coma and the last thing I remember was Captain America being assassinated and thinking "Dude, fucking awesome. That took balls." So what's going on? Oh, Bucky became Cap? Cool. Cool. He was a badass at it too?Steve has Nick Fury's old job? SWEET! Wait, there is a Captain America movie coming out and it is nothing like that made-for-tv crap I saw when I was little? YES!!!  Wait,  Bucky is being removed so Steve can become Cap again just because the movie is coming out? Geez...I should have stayed in my coma.

Im sorry DH an everyone who loves Bucky as Cap but 
 
Bucky is not Cap, he never will be and i never will see him as Cap. Sure he deserves it in ways, but Steve Rogers will always and forever be my Cap. 
 
If they kill Bucky, i will be incredibly angry cuz its a stupid device to get Rogers back as Cap. But i do believe Rogers needs to come back to the mantle of Captain America.

Steve Rogers is the real Captain America, Bucky can go get his own mantle.Welcome Back Steve!!

wow...shocker *sarcasm* who knows, maybe They'll BOTH be Captain America, then Steve will think that the world needs "America" so he makes a Captain America Inc

Bruce Wayne and Steve Rogers are two characters that would have preferred to remain dead, and not out of dislike for the characters or anything. Steve's return worked a little better for me because of the symbolism of his death (signified change to a darker world) and rebirth (symbolized the end of Dark Reign). I was not and am not a fan of Bruce's return.  

Note to all future Marvel writers: Stop trying to reinvent the wheel.

Okay! Now that they've done this, now that they made me fall in love with Bucky as Captain America, then they gave it back to Steve, I am now a member of the, "No more killing off characters if your just gonna have them come back and be the same as they were when they died, theres no more point in characters dieing. What when they bring back Human Torch there gonna stop this whole new thing there doing?

Isn't there supposed to be multiple Captain America. You can have both of them due to there being a Super Soldier Program

Steve being back as Captain America comes late but is still great.

Cap doesn't even matter anymore.Daredevil is Marvel's best street level hero.July will tell.

 Feel that is a poor standard i mean they just reinvent the character of Steve rogers have him lead the secret avengers and now they just take him back, feel like Thor when they take away the Odin power and resurrect Odin or the fact that they give Hercules the power of an all father and take it away in five issues. Just feels like your built up to a new character just to have it taken away.

I hope Bucky is not killed off but remains a force in the Marvel universe. I think a fake death if done properly could be effective, and then have his acting as Cap's man in the shadows. Have him take on a new persona similar to Winter Soldier that no one knows but everyone has heard about. 

Steve didn't stay dead long, and Bucky wasn't Cap long either. Well, they took a shocking story arc and have finally brought things back to normal.

Here's the only reason I think Bucky will die next issue... (I hope I'm wrong.) 
 
To quote Matt Fraction, 
 
"You'll be surprised what they let me get away with during Fear Itself." 
 
And, on a more jocular note, 
 
G-Man...   "How does Fear Itself end?" 
Fraction... "Everyone dies." 
 
BAZINGA!

about damn time if you ask me

SPOILER ALERT!!!

I'd still like to have multiple Caps, even if Bucky would have to pick up a new name.

I will ragequit if they kill Bucky. I already HATE that they're making Steve Cap again just because of the freaking movie (which looks awesome, btw) and if they kill Bucky off I will be incredibly disappointed and angry.

I won't like it either, but.... IF they do kill Bucky off, it's only a comic book death, and that means, he'll be back soon.  And when he comes back, he'll likely have a few improvements... Maybe more cybernetic parts.  Maybe they could bring him back from the dead and them make him Lieutenant America.  We could call him L.T. for short.

 
I would like to have seen the writers create an Arc where Bucky Kicks Ass and takes names (is that the expression?)  and makes it known beyond the shadow of a doubt that he IS Captain America...But it never happened.
