R.I.P. Captain America

Last week Marvel Comics killed off an American icon. Steve Rogers, more commonly known as Captain America died after suffering two gunshot wounds. What a weak way to kill a hero that was just involved in one of the most dramatic story lines in recent comic book history, Civil War.

For those who aren’t up to speed on what’s going on in the world of comic books, Marvel’s Civil War storyline dealt with a division amongst superheroes. There was a group, led by Iron Man that was in favor of the superhuman registration act which required all those with super powers to become government employees. A band of dissenters, led by Captain America, went underground and were subsequently hunted, arrested, and worse.

*SPOILER ALERT*
