Yeah, Bleeding Cool posted it. But it was prior to NYCC and a lot of Bleeding Cool's stuff is speculation. Not saying it wont happen, just that it didn't pan out during all the announcements at NYCC, announcements which included Iron Man and Thor.
The last we saw Hydra!Cap, Selene did something to him after she and Alexa Lukin sprung him from prison, though, what, exactly, she did remains a mystery. This was back in issue #8.
Agree with you 100% about Sharon and Peggy. Coates is woke though, so I'm trying to have faith that he knows how bad it would look to do anything like that, regardless of who Steve ended up with in the MCU.
I think you are right. It won’t be relaunched, which is a good thing. I’ve been enjoying the current run yay.
I have put Captain America on hold, I hope I can catch up before this year ends. We need to see more of HydraCap loolThe last we saw Hydra!Cap, Selene did something to him after she and Alexa Lukin sprung him from prison, though, what, exactly, she did remains a mystery. This was back in issue #8.

Yes! I have faith in Coates, Peggy had little to no role pre-MCU now they wanna act like she had a big role smh. Also; one of my problems with endgame was Steve’s ending, it was disrespectful to the character.
Yikes, my grammar has gone to ****. Rip
Same! I was hugely disappointed. And it wasn't because of Peggy or anything like that. It's because I've been reading Cap since Gruenwald and the one thing I associate with the character is that Steve Rogers does not give up. If I had to sum up Steve in three words they would be: adaptable, persistent, honorable. Him going back to the past felt like quitting. And Steve Rogers, at least in my understanding of the character, does not quit.
I once read an interview with Kirby where he was talking about how he wrote Steve before he went to war (Kirby is a WW2 vet himself, he was drafted and fought in the army) to how he wrote Steve during the Silver Age, after the war. Kirby was very cognizant of how tough it is for veterans to return to normal lives as citizens after having been a soldier in active combat. And Steve's coming off the ice to have missed years and to see that life moved on without him was a giant metaphor for what it feels like for a soldier to come home and adjust to life again, how different the world feels to them. Steve's ending in Endgame totally destroys that metaphor because it's basically sending the message that a soldier can't adapt.
Besides, these panels, which directly contradict Steve's MCU ending, exist...
Images from Mark Waid's Captain America: Man Out of Time cont.
Love this panel from Avengers #25. Aaron is doing a great job with Steve and T'Challa's dynamic. And lol, Steve...
Aaron's Avengers worth reading for Cap?

So many Cap appearances in January, I'm excited. We get the regular Cap title, Cap vs. Dracula, Cap vs. a dystopian future of an Earth populated by Red Skull clones, two Avengers issues, Avengers/Defenders and Marvel X (prequel to Earth X). January is going to be a fantastic month for Cap fans!
Question (and maybe I should make a separate thread for this, but since the original Earth X was very much a Steve Rogers-centric story, and the summary for Marvel X specifically mentions him, as well, it's not exactly off-topic). Wasn't the original Earth X story the one to posit the idea of the Celestials 'seeding' the Earth and making Eternals/Deviants/X-Men/Metahumans possible? And didn't Aaron just ret-con that in Avengers, wherein he modified the origin of life on Earth as originating from a sick Celestial who crash-landed on Earth and from his blood and vomit (gross, Aaron!) life sprung? It will be interesting to see how Marvel X (which is supposed to be a prequel to Earth X) rectifies this. I mean, Loki could have just been lying in Avengers, this is true, but the Avengers are using that dead Celestial's body as their base currently in the storytelling.
