"Comic book hero Captain America dies"

Oh nooo!!!!!!!  Matt G don't leave us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"NEW YORK - Captain America has undertaken his last mission --- at least for now. The venerable superhero is killed in the issue of his namesake comic that hit stands Wednesday. On the new edition's pages, a sniper shoots down the shield-wielding hero as he leaves a courthouse............."

I read this on CNN - but for those comic readers who are waiting for the comic to find out about this, a SPOILER WARNING would be nice - as well as not disclosing in the SUBJECT that  Cap is dead.

I'm sad by what happened, but i guess it makes sense in the storyline.

lol - its sok - I couldn't help but be drawn in by the headline myself.  He's such an iconic figure (within the Marvel Universe).  Hopefully, they'll do his death proper and keep him dead for good.  None of that superman dies crap DC tried to pull years ago.

Earlier I spilled coffee in my van on my way to the office. And to make matters worse, I just found out about the news about my man. I think Yelp HQ has something to do with the death of Matt's compadre.

Now I have to show a pic of Matt, instead of Captain A. No worries, all superheroes .i.e. Captain A are immortal, unless the artist/ creator decides to hang up the writing instruments.

according to the article:

"But even if Captain America turns out to have met his end in print, he may not disappear entirely: Marvel has said it is developing a Captain America movie."

It's just a ploy to get Capt. America into hiding so he doesn't have to face charges...just like F/X, the movie.
