And, to add on again, I can't wait for the day when Steve Rogers comes back and 
decides that he's none too fond of what's been done with the Flag and Shield, 
even by his old friend. It'll make for one of those classic old Marvel 
showdowns, two heroes bashing each others' brains in until some revelatory 
event brings them around to begrudging respect.

Except ol' Bucky will have more of his brains bashed in.

 When does DC step up and sue the stuffing out of Marvel for stealing Lex 
Luthor outright?
 
 (And, if this occurs, I'm buying.)

6, 2006 issue of Rolling Stone:
  
  Metaphors for the effects of the Bush Presidency on the American
  spirit don't get any harsher than this one: Last year, Captain
  America, who had been fighting Nazis, supervillians and sometimes his
  own government in the pages of Marvel comic books since 1941, was shot
  dead.
  
  And now, in the series' latest sign of the times, a new, more morally
  compromised character has taken over the stars-and-stripes uniform:
  Cap's former kid sidekick, Bucky, who spent a few years as a
  brainwashed Russian assassin and is now a gun-toting killer.
  
  Ed Brubaker, the former indie-comics writer who's been working on
  Captain America since 2004, sees his riveting version of the comic as
  an "espionage thriller." "It's not meant to be totally reflective of
  the American psyche," he says.  "But at the same time, I'm part of the
  American psyche, so maybe there is something of that seeping out there."
  
  In an even more directly relevant plot line, longtime CAp villain the
  Red Skull is now the head of a multinational corporation - and he's
  aiming to destroy the country by foreclosing on mortgages and driving
  up oil prices.  Brubaker has been hoping to do that storyline ever
  since the Enron scandal.  "How much of our country are we giving away
  to these vast corporations that have no one to answer to at all!" he
  says.  "If there's any politics of my own in the book, it's that part."
