Anticipating a great demand for the revelation of the possible identity of the Winter Soldier in last week’s Captain America #6, Marvel has already prepared their latest “Limited Edition Variant Cover” reprint of the issue, and it will be in stores on June 22nd.
"I've just been overwhelmed by the response to Captain America so far, and with issue #6, that just went through the roof," said series writer Ed Brubaker in an announcement. "And the best thing about it is that I know where this is all going, and that Steve Epting and I have a great ride in store for the fans. I've been hearing from retailers all over the country who are telling me they're adding Cap to more customers' lists every month, and that's really gratifying to hear. So, with that in mind, I'm psyched to see the second print of issue #6 with Steve's brilliant flip variation on the original cover. I can't wait to have both issues myself!"
"We knew from a storytelling point of view that Cap #6 would probably be an under-ordered title once word got out about the identity of the Winter Soldier,” said Marvel Director of Sales David Gabriel. “So in anticipation of the demand, we had Steve Epting do up a second cover, mirroring the image on the initial printing but focusing on the Winter Soldier, so that we'd have it ready to roll out shortly after the issue hit the stands. For obvious reasons, we could not reveal the cover image any earlier, or the story would have been ruined."

Pick up this title, it is quite a good read. Usually for Cap A, I would pass up the story as most time, it is just campy. But the current story got me interested. As the new villian of Cap could be a certain side kick of his(closely mirroring the storyline of Batman Hush). The story is just starting to pick up pace, if you can do try to pick up the back issue. This could be Marvel under-rated title of 2005 given the fact that Cap is one of the main icons of Marvel.
