Co creator Joe Simon ( Jack Kirby co creator ) was quoted "It's a hell of a time for him to go. We really need him now," I am very impressed that the storyline deals with loosing our freedoms since 9-11, and Captain America's true to character, revulsions to this attack on our civil liberties. Wow. The Marvel house of Ideas has gained my respect again. Yes we all know that super hero deaths are not permanent, clones, or a myriad of other resurrections are possible, but this super hero death is profound in the face of this new American Century, that has the PINAC group out to change it and the world. Make Mine Marvel. I devoted this weeks cartoon to Cap, see it at my website. www.whatnowtoons.com Captain America, dead at 66.

I doubt it... theres 2 "obvious" sucessors to Cap, one which will only last one or 2 issues, and they've already said that Bucky (The Winter Soldier) Barnes will be the focus for the next few issues... him and Nick Fury... Ed Brubaker is so protective over the Bucky character at this point, that its pretty obvious to me who takes his mantle... and Tony Stark will be puzzled, because not even SHIELD knows that Bucky is alive, except for Sharon Carter (Agent 13, who will be shattered), Nick Fury, and the Young Avengers. Bucky is also a lot more brutal that Cap was, and less brutal than frank Castle... a good happy medium, plus Bucky is the only person I could see even worthy of Cap's mantle, and it seems to me that Cap's death will have meaning for him, enough to make him want to serve his birth country *his way* again. Also a Patriot/Bucky teammup is just too cool to not see happen. While Caps death saddens me, especially as a Libertarian comics reader, I am interested to see where this is taken next... and in a year, Cap will be revealed to have been "assassinated" so they could quietly hide him away, as patrt of a plea bargain championed by Tony Stark....so that Cap's good name will not be disgraced with a felony....

It has been a great read. He turned Cap into Jack Bauer or someone in a Tom Clancy Novel. I really feel that The Punisher will be the new Captain America (until Bucky takes over). He did pick up Cap's cowl (maybe to sell it on eBay though). Assuming this is true, let me pose a question. Does anyone feel that Marvel (or Brubaker) is trying to make a statement about America and our little "war?" If Steve Rogers was a mirror of America in World War II. Does this mean that Frank Castle is a mirror of America today?

But he also said there would be plenty more copies available -- a flood, actually, in a week. Ironically, I ended up buying Jason's You Can't Get There from Here -- and was very happy to see it on the shelf. So, that was one more copy sold thanks to Cap... though I tend to pick any Jason book up eventually.

Perhaps he can shed some light as to why DC picked Superboy to become the big bad guy in the recent "Infinite Crisis" crossover. I like Beau Smith’s analysis… it makes sense.
