Captain America dead??

I was on his side the whole time "Civil War" was going on. I love the Cap. When it comes to leadership in Marvel Comics, I will choose Captain America over all of them. This is a sad time for everyone who really loves the Cap. I know that he has been killed before, but let's hope that this time we will all find out later on that this was just a mistake or a misunderstanding. It came at a really bad time of course. America is at war in Iraq, and when we were in WWII, who better to bring us out of our misery than Captain America. Captain America fought the Nazis in WWII, he was America's great hero and now, we have no hero. DC's Superman is not our hero, he is not mine, and to those who say that he is, better ready "Infinity Crisis" before saying that again. Back to Marvel Comics. Iron Man is now the head of SHIELD and he is looking more and more like the bad guy everyday. The Superhero Registration Act? It is as Jean Grey said in the film "X-Men": "People can have a license to drive, but not to live." Superheroes are people just like anyone else, the only difference is their abilities. Should these people really be told not to save someone who is really in trouble? I should think not. Iron Man is making Dr. Doom look good. I never thought that I would say that. If there is two men that I have always dispised in Marvel Comics it has been Cyclops because he is too pretty for Jean Grey (Jean needs a dirty boy, we all know that) and Dr. Doom because he has way too much power. Anyway, I hope that this will all blow over soon.

I really don't read comic books to follow a superhero's life story. I prefer watching the movie patterned from the book instead. I guess I prefer the characters being brought to life.

And speaking of life, I am looking forward to Captain America's reincarnation, like that of Superman's.

The first thing I thought was "no, say it ain't so!"

I just had the chance over the weekend to read Frontline, Thunderbolts, and the actual Civil War tradebacks.

I'll admit that on Iron Man's side, he has a good idea,*on paper.* A lot of people died, and something needed to be done about it. You have 3 of the greatest minds in the Marvel Universe, Tony, Hank, and Reed, working up a solution, other than having the Sentinals start to hunt them.

However, I'm more on Cap's side. Reading Frontline, Fed agents essentially Blackmailed Simon, aka, Wonder Man, into doing a job. Find a hero to do a job, so that you don't put your life on the line. Bonus points if he/she has something you can use to force them into it.

Also, since they fired Hulk into space, a bunch of his vilians, such as Abonination are still around. So, draft in She-Hulk to face them. If said hero hesitates, and if there isn't nothing else, the feds say they are breaking the law, by not complying with their duty under the registration act.

Oh yea, and in front line, some guy (I'm thinking Wolverine) was "holding the woman reporter at gunpoint" (turns out it was a banana!) to tell her about the registration. She was tailed by feds, and becuase they think she knows who had contacted her and where to find her, since she didn't comply, she and her boss were arrested! Anyone else starting to see where this is bad?

IMO, the heroes should have "policed their own" a long time ago, before Standford happened. Now, they are either Shield lackeies, or on the Run, like New Avengers.
