Chain mail offers more protection, and is more expensive to make. Being an "A" list character it's only fitting that he should have chain mail. Second bananas like the 1940's Blue Beetle wore scale mail. At least I won’t have to bitch anymore that he’s being drawn wearing scale mail, and not in chain mail like he should be wearing.

Alex Ross is a hellava artist, but this is a weak design. The shape of the flag element made me think of the "Shield" character that MJL had during the 1940's. Of course when you try to top a design god like Jack Kirby, you set yourself up for failure. I don’t like the new design. Alex Ross is a hellava artist, but this is a weak design.

Espescially this new one. Bucky is scarred, has done terrible things (though under mind control)is guilt ridden and wants to redeem himself. Cap killed in battle, it was inevitable. He was a soldier and thats what soldiers do in a battle of life or death. You think his shield when thrown only ko'd someone? He is not the Punisher in stars and stripes because the Punisher kills criminals indiscriminately. This new Cap still stands for truth, justice and liberty.

America should never have been taken out of his original element. His adventures should take place during the years of WWII. Think about all the potential story lines that could be touched on...not just doing battle against Nazis and the Red Skull, but perhaps ol' Cap not being all too thrilled about being allies with the communists, Steve Rogers working with the underground or anti-nazi Germans...stuff like that!
