This isn’t a spoiler, at least by me, since it’s appearing in the newspapers but … Captain America<\/a> is dead<\/a>. Or will be in the comic hitting the stores this week. I won’t go into the details.<\/p>\n

And everyone who actually believes that’s permanent<\/em> — well, Captain Florida has some swam land he’d like to sell you. Heck, even Joe Quesada, the Marvel Editor-in-Chief considers it dodgy that it’s permanent. After all, we all recall (those who recall such things) how that took with Superman a decade or so back. And Cap has disappeared, or quit, or been fired before. Given that there’s a Capt. America movie in the works — do you really think he’s going to “stay” dead?<\/p>\n

That said … I really need to write my “Civil War” after-action review.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
