Kyle Baker art stokes Captain America speculation

blackcaptest1

This Kyle Baker art, which appears to be of Isaiah Bradley, from Baker’s Web site (and found via The Beat) is increasing speculation about the upcoming “Captain America” 600 and “Reborn.”  Marvel has moved the release date for “Captain America” 600 up to Monday, June 15, from the typical Wednesday release.

Marvel has changed the final order cutoff for the “Reborn” series to after June 15, allowing retailers to see “Captain America” #600 before placing their final orders for “Reborn.”  “Reborn” is by “Captain America” writer Ed Brubaker and “Ultimates” artist Bryan Hitch, and Marvel has indicated a major story will be released on the 15th about “Reborn.”   Could it involve a black Captain America?  Isaiah Bradley was an earlier test subject of “Project: Rebirth,” the World War II-era project that created Captain America.  His story is recounted in “Truth: Red, White and Black,” by Robert Morales and Kyle Baker.

Other speculations about “Reborn” have included the possible return of Steve Rogers, the original Captain America; a crossover with the “Heroes Reborn” universe; or something tied in with a “Captain America” movie announcement.  We’ll probably have to wait until June 15 to find out for sure.
