What a stupid idea. A comic book hero since 1941, and they decide to kill him off. It’s a shame. Now I kind of liked the whole Death of Superman series, but you always assumed he wasn’t dead. It was sort of a prolonged cliffhanger. This seems to be a quick and sad death, an end of an era so to speak. Captain America is dead, long live Captain America!

    Good riddance to that, at least.
