This is not an April Fools' joke. On April 1st, Captain America and the Agents of Atlas meet in the team's 3rd issue. As usual this book tells two stories, one in the past and one in the present. The exciting possibility here is the notion that the Agents met Bucky during the 50s as the Winter Soldier, an opportunity I doubt writer Jeff Parker will pass up.
For those who don't know, the Agents were established in retroactive continuity and first featured in What If #9 (June 1978). Their initial mission was to rescue President Eisenhower from the evil Yellow Claw. Since then, the group has taken over the malevolent Atlas group and uses its resources for good.
The team runs into Captain America in the present while they present their weapons project to Norman Osborn. I can only imagine how this turn out, at least based on the cover(pictured).
