reality but lets tackle the easy ones first q is he really dead a As much As is possible for a fictional character Joe Quesada editor in chief of Marvel comics said when we do Pur planning sessions we work at least a year to a year and a half out to what were publish ing there Are plans for the Cap Tain America Book but there is no Steve Rogers in any Captain America suit nobody stays an editor forever he said so i cant speak for what might happen Down the Road when in not Here but what ill say right now there Are no plans for the resurrection of Cap Captain comics Andrew a Smith Tain America so yes i think Steve Rogers is really dead for at least a couple of years q was it a publicity stunt a by my definition no it was the result of Long planning not a gratuitous decision Captain

enough for an i Story funeral but even so this time feels a Little different and marvels on record for it to stick at least for a couple of years q Why should we care a Hes freaking Captain Ameri Ca its like Uncle Sam getting cancer from a comic Book perspective it leaves a huge gaping Hole where the heart of marvels superhero universe used to be its hard to imagine the avengers for example without him so each of us has a different re action to Captain America some laugh some Salute and some Pon Der what America is or what it should be i think its telling that in these Days that Cap Only represented half the Marvel universe for the last year and that makes me wonder if it was just easier for Marvel to kill him off than write a character that supposed to represent what America should be and that Why we should care Contact Andrew Smith at we watch this week Aba mixer Aba fans can now create their own video highlights at Bacom Click on vide and choose Aba highlight mixer choose your
