Captain America's back...sort of

LOS ANGELES (AP) - January 31, 2008 Marvel Comics killed off the veteran superhero almost a year ago. But now Marvel is bringing back Captain America in the form of Bucky Barnes. Captain America's alter-ego, Steve Rogers, is still resting in peace at Arlington National Cemetery, having been done in by assassins last March. But his ol' buddy Bucky is picking up Captain America's bulletproof shield. Marvel editors say killing off Cap has helped to breathe new life into the comic series.
