This week's mammoth 70th anniversary Captain America #616 is packed full of great stories and art, from Ed Brubaker's updating of Bucky's situation and Steve's continued dilemma about donning the stars and stripes once more (continued thematically from the terrific Captain America #615.1), to the surprise reprinting of commissions of Cap from two of my childhood favorites, Jim Aparo and Curt Swan, to an assortment of short stories from an wide range of creators and drawing on a variety of eras. (I'll admit the tears didn't come until the last story, by Kyle Higgins and Alec Siegel--see if you can guess where in the story I started to well up.)
See the extensive preview of the issue at Comic Book Resources if, for some reason, you haven't picked up the issue yet. (No, don't tell me, I don't want to know... there is no way you can explain...)
The most interesting story from a philosophical point of view would have be to Frank Tieri and Paul Azaceta's modern tale of Steve and Sharon discovering a very mysterious person lurking in the New York City art circles... SPOILERS and more after the fold.
