Killed by a sniper. Damn. That's a sucky ending for a super hero. Couldn't they have had him retire to a nice tropical island somewhere with Wonder Woman or Cat Woman - or hey! Wonder Woman AND Cat Woman - and just let him croak with a smile on his face?
A sniper. That's weak. Sheesh.

I could, but as lame as it is, if it were a horse, Dave would mount it and I would shoot it!

It's hard for me to beleive they would kill off such an iconic character like Captain America. Some serious symbolism there. It looks like the Punisher may take up the mantle though.
I recently did a story about Cap's Death over at Highbrid Nation. I wanted to talk about it from the perpective of the Hip Hop community. Check it out if you get a chance.

[quote]How crazy would it be if the Punisher, a character that freely kills those he feels deserve it, became America's superhero?[/quote] *******Geek Alert!******* Inside baseball stuff to follow! Nothing to see here! Move along! Evorgleb: I'm with you...there's got to be a re-birth, a new character assumes the mantle...some gimmick to bring back the Captain. With DC, the ring changed hands with [i]Green Lantern[/i] same gimmick, different guy. They recycled Batman's sidekick a couple times. Some publishers "re-imagine" a character and change the origins and storylines however they see fit. It's a variation of the old serial "cliffhangers"...you know they're coming back, you just don't know how!
Even Cap got "frozen in the ice" to make the transition from the '40s to the present. The only reason we're talking about it here is, like you said [quote]such an iconic character like Captain America[/quote] deserves better!

I wonder how much of this is the normal Batman-is-Dead, Superman-is-Dead, Bucky-is-Dead or Sherlock Holmes-is-Dead gimmick and how much of this is really, a [i]the new copyright owner really hates America[/i], thing.
After all, Captain America is the United States personified. If you have even attended a counter- march, you can see a dramatic difference between the Leftist crowds and the American crowds:
The Left (taking the Million Mom's March as an example) is usually professionally staffed, with official T-Shirts, matching Logo balloons, prepared signs and a professionally laid out stage and loudspeaker system -- and NO US FLAGS.
Contrast those with the American side:
NOT bussed in, but got to the site under their own steam and at their own cost; hand-drawn signs, pretty rag-tag and disorganized, maybe a stage and a loudspeaker and LOTS OF US FLAGS.
Seeing how much the Left hates America, it doesn't surprise me in the least that the new copyright owner would like to see America, personified, [url=http://www.moonbattery.com/archives/2006/07/smoking_gun_on.html]shot through the head[/url].
