Captain America Dead, Killed By Marvel's Lefty Douche-Things
Dead, killed by a sniper's bullet, in a ludicrous story-arc called "Civil War" intended to echo (and, of course, critique) life in Bu$h's Amerikkka under the Patriot Act.
He won't be missed. Comic book guys I know say that Marvel has seized on the character as a conveniently star-spangled propagandist for the left, putting faintly absurd anachronistic slogans from the 60's New Left in the mouth of a WWII-era patriot.
So really they killed him five years ago. Now they'll just give the desecrated corpse his proper burial.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
