Captain America returns?

Superheroes don't die – they just go away until someone feels like bringing them back.

Marvel is bringing back Steve Rogers – better known as Captain America – in a five-part series aptly titled "Captain America Reborn," starting July 1.

I've been an on-again, off-again reader of the series, but I don't know — it seems a little soon to bring back Cap. I've enjoyed writer Ed Brubaker's stories about Bucky Barnes, who took over the role of the legendary hero.

My gut says this will be a fairly high-demand book. Every comic story that gets picked up by the Associated Press gets some sort of a bump.
