Proto, you are my hero on days when I plan to buy some comics.
When they killed off Captain America, I finally gave up on Marvel. Is that wrong?

I've always had a thing for Red Skull and Sin; a pulsing and unnatural thing. This story and art are fantastic and really do them justice. I thought the title was really going places.

And then some blond cow goes and caps Cap. OH WHOOPS SPOILERZ LOLLLZ11!!!1!

it's a good run but i still don't like bucky being brought back. so bucky is back, but i wonder how long it's going to take to bring steve back. a great twist would be to kill bucky again.....or maybe not, whatever. DIE BUCKY DIE!!!

The proof of the awesomeness of this run is that it's been quite a good book with Cap dead. That is good writing.

[Protoclown]

I agree, Max. It's been a consistently good book for the last year or so, despite not having the titular character even in it anymore. In fact, I would say the quality hasn't dipped a bit. So thecatillaccat, you should really check out "The Death of Captain America" story, which I'll probably review eventually, if Max doesn't get around to it first.

I'm going to the comic shop, and buying this book.

I remember when I broke it to my friend who was a massive Captain America fan, that they had the man shot. I expected to get a cheap laugh out of it, but somehow I felt responsible for his disappointment. It got worse when I told him that Bucky became the new Captain America.

In short: Never inform friends who are casual fans of comics heroes if their childhood favorite dies.
