Resurrection Score: Captain America 1, Jesus Christ 1, Jean Grey 3, No, 4...Wait Maybe 5
Marvel's upcoming Avengers/Invaders #1 threatens promises to reunite a guilt-ridden Iron Man with a supposed-to-be-dead Captain America as the team formerly know as the Invaders mysteriously appears in the modern Marvel Universe.
In the planning for over two years, [Alex] Ross and [Jim] Krueger are planning on pulling out all the stops! Steve Rogers, the original Captain America, back in the modern day Marvel Universe. Iron Man, confronting the personal demons that have haunted him since Rogers' death. The young and angry Namor, meeting his older, wiser, more cautious self. Can two Avengers teams — the Mighty Avengers and the New Avengers — learn something from the heroism and nobility of the heroes of the World War II generation, the Greatest Generation? Or will some Avengers see this as an opportunity to upset the balance of history?
Insert facepalm here.
He's been dead less than a year! Even if it is a technicality, this still makes me less and less invested in any death in comics nowadays.
What do you guys think? Could this be a team of shapeshifty skrulls? A genuine time- traveling team from the past? The Exiles in disguise!?

Steve Rogers should come back for that one issue, and get shot on the last page. Then fall off a cliff. Into a meat mincer. Then into an incinerator. Then get shot into space.
Seriously Marvel, why isn't anyone allowed to *die* anymore?
God, does anyone even CARE anymore?
Hey if it is the Exiles maybe it'll get them OUT of Claremonts hands. I don't care if it has to ruin (err continue to make sucky) the rest of marvel, PLEASE SAVE THAT BOOK!
Of course we could just have Cap turn into marvel's Kenny. That would rock.
When is Jean coming back?
@ nr miller:
Any book in Mr. Claremont's hands is a train wreck. I have no idea how he has convinced Marvel to give him ANY book. I opened up Exiles 100 the other day only to find one of the characters talking to herself and describing every action she was doing as she fell into a very large hole to save someone I can't remember.
e.g.:
"oh no! She's falling way too fast! I have to be able to grab her coat!"
Oh Mr. Claremont...
re: jonostarsmore
"Oh no! Quick! Must... forget that I have an inner monologue... and state every thought I have aloud!"
He's been writing like that for damn near 30 years, why has nobody told him that it sounds dreadful?
It's almost as bad as those days back in the 60s, when villains would spout truly awful dialogue like "Curses! It's Spiderman! Our evil plan is ruined!" Thank bleeding buggery there's no dialogue THAT bad anymore.

Oh wait, my mistake. Damn it, I'm gonna just go read Ultimates now, that'll make me feel better.
