R.I.P.: Captain America
According to an article in the L.A. Times, Steve Rogers, the war-hero-turned-crime-fighter better known as Captain America, is dead as a door nail. It seems that his longtime publisher, Marvel Comics, has decided to let him die an agonizing death by gunfire in the latest issue of his eponymously titled series, and it’s not a hoax, an imaginary tale, or a special “What If?” issue.
The issue hit stands on Wednesday and shows the iconic hero gunned down on the steps of a federal courthouse; he was arriving there as a fugitive, a resistance leader to a federal Superhero Registration Act that has been a key Marvel story line for the last year.
That’s a pretty big bummer for comic fans, but as the Times points out, there are currently plans underway for a Captain America movie, so I guess we’ll have to wait and see how truly, deeply dead he is.
Keep makin comics till the year 3000…..NO Y DID HE DIE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
