According to Fox News, ol' Cap is coming back in 2008! However, it won't be the original Captain America, but a new guy. This time around, he's packing some heat!

Marvel Entertainment announced Thursday that its slain hero Captain America will rise again with a new outfit and a new secret identity, after the character was killed off in March by a sniper's bullet in a storyline on the War on Terror.

The company unveiled the patriotic superhero's new look Thursday with artwork by Alex Ross and Steve Epting for the new issue, No. 34, to hit comic book shops in January 2008.

Captain America will return with his trademark shield, but he also will have some new firepower. The artists are bringing the hero back with a gun.

They mention they got the idea for the gun from an old 1940s serial. I've actually seen that serial (and no, I'm not that old!).
