He will return as Captain U.N. complete with the baby blue tights.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

I'm not reeling.

[Phsstpok]

Any news on Santa Claus?

It's a race to see whether Bun Bun kills Santa first or Santa and his black op elves take out the switchblade wielding bunny first.

My money's on Bun Bun.

Time to die, elf boy!

[new cruelty]

Not even a little?

[Ro_Thunder]

I was thinking Admiral, myself.

:-)

Guess that's the difference in Army and NAVY.

[slowhand520]

Did I call it or what?

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Stumbling, occasionally but never really reeling.

[wallcrawlr]

the wanker

[PissAndVinegar]

Put his a$$ in suspended animation (no pun intended) then run him through the Weapon X program - add adamantium skeleton and all!

[Artemis Webb]

Horse Crap.

I used to be a comic geek. Heroes and Villains died all the time. They never stay dead.

[CT-Freeper]

HAH! Killing Captain America would be like killing Chuck Norris........

Most people wouldn't notice or care??

kidding

[Brian Mosely]

The Punisher will take his place. They appeared to be setting this up in Civil War #7.

[GodBlessRonaldReagan]

The real news in all this is that Joe Simon is still alive. Holy longevity, Batman!

Joe Simon was responsible for one of my all-time fave wacko DC comics, Brother Power The Geek. A thinly disguised then-Gov. Reagan appeared in one issue!

[paltz]

whatever...they'll bring him back. It's a marketing gimmick to pump sales. comic books are like soap operas these days. Dead one day...alive the next. Remember Superman?

[chopperman]

'They probably made the sniper look like President Bush.'

I don't think so. This is Stan Lee your talking about. I think the assassin will look like Hillary.

"The fact that a comic character dying is breaking news on Fox shows just how sad we have become."

He joins Anna, and Brittany. The fact that these make the breaking news is only solace that there isn't some other horrifying, devastating breaking news. IMMHO.

[TalonDJ]

No no, Bun Bun is still in hiding. He does not want to give himself away yet.

[TalonDJ]

HAH! Killing Captain America would be like killing Chuck Norris........

Most people wouldn't notice or care??

Oh I think people would notice that the world stopped turning. You know Chuck Norris makes that happen, right?

[al_c]

They probably made the sniper look like President Bush.

I'll be 100 to 1 that the sniper will NOT look mideastern.

[dangerdoc]

Maybe he lateral moved to the Navy.

O-6!
