They probably made the sniper look like President Bush.
In some ways I'm sure he's kind of relieved. 66 years is a long time to spend as an 0-3. I mean, promotions may be slow in the superhero line of work, but he should have at least made Lieutenant Colonel by now.
Who killed this character?
Reeling? That's a bit much.
Or a platform for some whiny lefties.
Or a cheap commercial stunt.
The shooter is believed to be Muhammed Al-Bahgdadi Al-Akbar. The FBI has already ruled that terrorism is not a motive.
What'd he do, call john edwards a fag?
Any news on Santa Claus?
HAH! Killing Captain America would be like killing Chuck Norris........
This is captain America calling
This is captain America calling
Help me now Im calling you
Catch me now Im falling
Im in your hands, its up to you
Catch me now, Im falling
I stood by you through all of your depressions
And I lifted you when you were down
Now its your chance to do the same for me
I call you up, and your secretary tells me that youve gone out of town
This is captain America calling
This is captain America calling
The Kinks
Hasn't this character actual been anti-American for some time?
Riddle? Holy Conundrum, Batman! THAT'S IT!!!
Okay, the comic's been printed for like 100 years and it's up to issue 25? I guess they want to start yet another new run, with another issue #1, just so that they make another new collector's item.
They just "re-invented" or "re-imaged" Cap, so they aren't getting rid of him.
Long time readers might remember that remember that Cap was frozen in ice for 20 years and brought back in the 60s. But that would make him really old, even with the Super Soldier Serum. So in the recent Reboot of the whole system, he was found by Nick Fury 50 year later. Bucky was still alive (although really old) and married to Cap's old sweetheart. Why Bucky stopped superheroing is anyone's guess.
Now if marvel wants to go with continuity, there will be another Capt America because there has always been, even during the time he was frozen. Two other heroes stepped up to become Captain America because the country needed there to be a symbol. And because it allowed marvel to explain why the CA of the 50s was so frickin' racist (and they killed that one off).
Okay, enough ranting. I have to get to class.
Why ruin the fantasy?
Stupid, stupid move.
Something tells me that the FLAG serum (which turned Steve Rogers into Cap in the first place) will heal him, albeit slowly.
Brian Kilmead was talking about this on Fox and friends. He was surprised that in a time of war they would kill off an American Icon that represents American might. Said it was agenda driven and symbolizes to the writer of the comic, the demise of America. He described the writer as a 40 year old which I then deduced that he looks like the typical metrosexual commie...Black spectacles, messy hair..you know the type.
Sixty-five years and only 25 issues? Sounds more like a Captain France work ethic!
(Yes, yes, I know they renumber...)
