Captain America Redux

The New York Times reports that Marvel Entertainment (MVL) is bringing back Captain America:

More than two years after his comic book death, the sentinel of liberty known as Captain America is returning to the land of the living. “Captain America Reborn,” a five-part series published by Marvel Entertainment, will begin next month and is written by Ed Brubaker and illustrated by Bryan Hitch, one of the comic book industry’s most acclaimed artists. Mr. Brubaker is the regular writer of the Captain America series, including issue No. 25, published in 2007, in which the title hero was felled by an assassin’s bullet. It was a shot heard around the world as many news organizations carried word of the captain’s death. The story of his return begins in Captain America No. 600 (the series is returning to the original numbering from Volume 1, with a cover date of March 1941), which is in comic book stores now. New comics typically go on sale Wednesdays, but in an unusual move Marvel has allowed the comic to go on sale immediately.

Conan O’Brien said they’ll start making Captain America once they get a loan from Captain China.
