no joke, anyone read it? Captain America issue #25.

There was a news team in front of the comic shop ... the issue sold out within the first 2 hours.

Sounds like a good way for comic artists to bank some cash.

Info from Wikipedia:

Spoiler

While entering a Federal Courthouse, Steve Rogers is shot in the shoulder, chest, and stomach by a sniper on his way up the steps to Federal Court. In the ensuing crowd chaos, he is shot three times with a shotgun, and later appears to die of his injuries.[39] It is later revealed that the plan was orchestrated by the Red Skull; the sniper was Crossbones, and Sharon Carter, under a hypnotic suggestion by Dr. Faustus, was the person who had shot Rogers in the stomach.

In Civil War: The Initiative, Ms. Marvel tells Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew) that Captain America is not dead but "...tucked away safe on the Raft..." with doctors working to save him.

Marvel released a statement saying "Yes, Captain America, Steve Rogers, is dead," that Ms. Marvel's comments that he was alive on the Raft "may not have been exactly what they seemed on the surface, and events related to those comments will play out in upcoming issues of New Avengers", and that the Captain America series would continue with Rogers being deceased.

Read that last line, so he'll probably be resurrected somehow or something. I knew this was gonna happen though, after he surrendered himself in the Civil War storyline, I knew he wasn't going to be the same.

He'll be back..

It's like when Spider-Man died and came back!

I've been too lazy (and broke) to buy any comics from the Civil War series, I've been following up on it from Wikipedia haha

[Velocitii]

well they're making a captain america movie, or working on it at least, so at least he'll be back in some form

[masterchief117]

captain america is def. comin back, this whole civil war thing has been full of surprises!

[IMAJynXed1]

thanks for ruining it...ive been slowly catching up to Civil War, altho it sorta no surprise he would die, him or stark were gunna but just now knowing who is definatly gunna ruin the moment...

[LucasBunny]

That's what they want u to dink hehehehhe

he aint dead we all know that

[knockblock]

Captain America has survived through things much worse than this yet dies by a bullet?


I wonder if they'll do something like the heroes reborn.

[Korowa]

I highly doubt that Steve Rogers will be permanently down for the count, the Comic Book Rules of Death say that.

"No one in comics stays dead except for Bucky, Jason Todd, and Uncle Ben"

Sadly, all of them have come back in some form...

But I am just glad that Civil War is finally over and the comic books can finally resume their normal pace.

[AntKun]

No way in hell would they kill of Cap. America.
Just a nice way to bank a few hundred thousand dollars.

[Malice_Kaiser]

He's not gone for good. Marvel always has it's ways...
Don't get yer panties in a bunch just yet. XP

Erm, they brought Bucky and Jason Todd both back from the dead last year. LOL. Bucky was never really dead, he was just working for the Soviets. And Jason Todd was resurrected in Infinite Crisis through some abstract bullcrap way.

Has anyone read the following issues? Cap's laid out on a slab and his body looks meeessed up. He's all frail and skinny like he was before he took the super soldier serum. I don't think he's going to come back any time soon. And has anyone seen the new Punisher? He's wearing a cap-like costume. I'll see if I can find some images.

And contrary to popular belief, Cap is no superhero like Superman. He is not invulnerable/invincible. The serum only causes a human body to perform at it's peak efficiency, meaning the best strength, endurance, stamina, agility, physique, etc. that is humanly possible. He doesn't have super speed or super hearing, so he can't just simply

Spoiler

hear a bullet coming and step out of the way. He was shot by a sniper.

I'll leave the rest for you to find out.

^Maybe he'll be back like next year or sumfin

There is no way he is staying dead

I think Marvel expects everyone to think they're going to bring them back, and that's why they won't for a very very long time, when he's damn near forgotten.

[IMAJynXed1]

im thinking Marvel might pull fast one and revive C.A. at the end of WWH...haha...im joking...i dont think he'll return until after WWH...

btw WWH is gunna kick ass!!!

Lol to forget Captain America

Captain A is a money maker for them

okay he won't ever be forgotten but i still think he won't be back for a while. Especially if bucky or punisher picks up his mantle, cause Cap didn't die through means of magic or some convoluted way. He was shot. If (but really, when) they bring him back, it better be damn good.

[losborrachos]

pfft, steve rogers is back now.
