Well Captain America is still dead, and there are still a lot of characters who are plenty mad at Tony Stark for allowing this to happen. Marvel has sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek at Captain America #28.
Or - “Brubaker Broke Rule #1: Bucky Stays Dead.”
And yet, I enjoy it. I don’t know if it’s the fact that Cap himself is now deceased or if it’s just one of those ideas that is better in the execution than the conception, but so far, the return of James Buchanan Barnes has been very well handled. In the wake of the assassination of Captain America, the entire Marvel Universe looks like a whole new animal, and the Winter Soldier has set his sights on the biggest game of all: Tony Stark, Director of SHIELD. But before he gets to that particular bullet, he has an errand or two he wants to run…
Yeah, after the boner joke last week, I thought it best to show Marvel can make similar mistakes.
The Death of a Dream storyline continues in Captain America #27 and Major Spoilers has the sneak peek to check out!
Or - “Do Not Fear Death So Much, But Rather The Inadequate Life…”
Berthold Brecht said that, and it serves as a pretty fitting epitaph for our Steve Rogers, as well as a cautionary tale. It works as warning to Tony Stark… as a cold comfort to Sharon Carter… as a benchmark for Sam Wilson. And for James Buchanan Barnes, it’s a horrible and isolating reminder that the most heartless cliché of them all is “It’s never too late.” The Marvel Universe is in mourning, but there’s still work to be done, and while nobody here seems to want the Adamantium shield, Captain America’s job is hardly done.
Or - “How To Really Over-Think Both The Title And The Concept.”
I don’t think there’s any question that Marvel intends for us to be morally bothered by the actions of Iron Man during and after the Civil War. Even with Joey Da Q’s constant reiteration of the mantra that “in the real world we’d want these people to be licensed and trained,” (an argument which is irrelevant, I might add) the actions of Iron Man are beyond reprehensible. This issue only serves to underline the fact that Tony Stark has officially gone around the bend, and it’s just a matter of time before someone has to take him down…
How do you continue a series with the title character is dead? The Death of a Dream storyline continues in Captain America #26, and Major Spoilers has a sneak peek.
First he gets shot in the gut, then Captain America gets arrested with a burrito down his pants.
On Saturday night, when a costume party full of medical professionals stopped at On Tap Cafe, police said Doctor Raymond Adamcik, 54, had a burrito stuffed below the waistband of his costume and was asking women if they want to touch it. When one refused, he allegedly took out the burrito and groped her.
The woman called police and, when they arrived, the officers wrote in their report “there were so many cartoon characters in the bar at the time, all Captain America’s were asked to go outside for a possible identification.”
The woman pointed out Adamcik and the burrito was found in his boot. He was taken to the police station. There, while in a holding cell, police said, he asked to use the bathroom and tried to flush a joint, also hidden in his blue tights, down the toilet.
“The officer observed him try to flush something into the toilet. He tried to flush it. The officer was able to reach inside and grab part of what he tried to flush,” said Jill Frederiksen, Melbourne Police Department.
I wonder if everyone else at the party were also stuffing Mexican entrees down their pants. Remember kids, burritos are for eating, not sticking down your trousers in an attempt to impress the ladies. That’s what tube socks are for…not that I would know…
Readers have responded and according to you, Batman could kick Captain America’s butt if the two were to go toe to toe.
Marvel has sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek at the upcoming Punisher War Journal #7. Frank Castle has donned a Captain America-inspired costume and he’s out to uphold the beliefs of the fallen hero.

No, I’m not talking about Tony Stark and SHIELD, but rather two Civil War tie-in issues. Marvel has announced Civil War: Battle Damage Report “prepared” by Tony Stark, and Marvel Spotlight: Civil War Aftermath, examining the effect of the event on the Marvel Universe have both sold out at Diamond.
Look out for other upcoming Marvel Spotlights, giving exclusive looks at major Marvel events such as Death of Captain America, World War Hulk and the new Fantastic Four.

Jeez, the body hasn’t even made it in the ground and already someone is donning the costume of Captain America. As we suspected, Frank Castle - the Punisher - thinks he has the chops and brings his brand of justice to the Hate-Monger.
Marvel sent us a four page preview and both covers, one featuring Castle in Cap costume, and one without, and more info.
Don’t forget if you missed out on the first printing of Captain America #25, and you don’t want to spend $65 for it on eBay, the second printing hits stores tomorrow.
Captain America may be dead (for now) but you can relive his adventures over and over again through that popular medium video games. Since 1987 Captain America has been duking it out with villians across the Marvel Universe. While some of the games may seem REALLY bad by today’s standards, I remember some of these when they first came out and “marvel”ed at how cool they were.
Marvel has created a retrospective of Captain America related games through the ages, and here are a peek at a few.
Memories…
