Yeah, Captain America was shot by a sniper named Crossbones, but that's not what actually killed him. What killed him is that afterwards, he was shot by his former girlfriend, an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. who was given a post-hypnotic suggestion by Dr. Faustus, and she shot him point-blank in the gut three times with her handgun, in the middle of a crowd of people, and nobody saw her do it. He died in the ambulance on the way to the hospital, and afterward Red Skull's daughter made her remember that she shot Captain America by using a trigger word, and she was all like "OMG NOOOOOoooooo". Fucking retarded.

And yeah, Aunt May is probably gonna bite it in the next Amazing Spider-Man, which comes out next week, I think. Why Spidey doesn't throttle Tony Stark to death is a mystery to me.

Uhhh...don't they kill and revive comic book characters all the time?
I started reading comics when the whole onslaught thing went on. I remember the fantastic four, the hulk and some more got killed. I remember when they got reintroduced afterwards with some bullshit story of what really happened. It's been awhile since I read a comic book.

I dont know what to think of what YOU read, but all I know is that superman DIES in the doomsday series. he comes back later on but is revealed to be just a clone. so as far as I know the original superman is dead. any superman after the doomsday series is his clone.

Marvel is CLAIMING this death will be permanent, but I of course have my doubts.

mburbank · #33

It's permanent as long as the current editors are in place, IF that.

Ms. Marvel told Spiderwoman that Cap wasn't dead, he's being secretly stashed on the Raft and he's at death's door and they are trying to save him. That ay have been a total lie, though.

In edition, keep in mind that in the current Cap book, BUCKY is back from the dead, and he was the gold standard for being actually dead as opposed to dead as long as it's convenient.

I heard that Aunt May will die soon, and after the death of Captain America and Aunt May, he links both of them on Stark being the main root. Setting the stage for a Spidey/Iron Man brawl.

I'm more excited about the first fight rumored to happen between Hulk and the X-Men coming up during 'World War Hulk' this summer.

Max, where did that conversation take place? I haven't read all my books from yesterday yet.

mburbank · #36

In the Initiative one shot.

Marvel says they are not going to press anymore dead cap issues, and if that's true, seal it an bag it geeks. You got yourselves a collectors item. I actually was able to buy an issue at comic store yesterday, but it was the last one.

I think they could actually leave him dead for a few years which is a long time in comic books. But you know, there's already precedent for Cap going into Cryogenic freeze after gettin' killed real good so's he can come back later. That's what he did between the end o' WWII and the 1960's.

Oh, and don't forget that 'Ultimate' Cap is just a continuity away.

I'm just sad he and Bucky never got to reconsumate their unspeakable love.

Actually, the whole thing makes me mad.

I think it'll take more than the x-men to bring him down.

Protoclown · #39

All it will take to bring him down is for Iron Man to fly up to him and be like "HULK YOU HAVE TO REGISTER" and then Hulk will be like "Okay

"

mburbank · #40

He'll go

"HULK IS THE MOST OKAY THERE IS!"

HULK EMOTIONALLY VULNERABLE!!! HULK NEED TO TALK IT OUT!!!

Superman's only died once that I remember, but DC continuity isn't really something I'd like to bet money on. They have a record of going all over the place.

I just want to see the Hulk steamroll the new X-Men lineup. Then if you want to see the Hulk/Iron Man prediction, pick up the old "What If? Hulk Went Berserk". Classic piece of reading there. Iron Man and Hulk fistfight, with hilarious results.

ArrowX · #43

something stupid will probably happen like Richards will clone Cap, or they'll get Bucky to take up the mantle. I'm more interested in whats gonna come of Eddie Brock coming back soon.

Zomboid · #44

Uh. Nothing/who cares? Gargan as venom is a fuck of a lot more interesting, I think.

As for the superman thing- I think he's only "really" died the one time. That's not including golden and silver age though.
