O Captain! My Captain!

*Squish! Squish!*

No these are not the tears of a man saddened by the death of an American icon, the death of a hero who symbolized the spirit of America, the death of Steve Rogers. These are not tears for the death of Captain America.

Having surrendered to the Pro-Registration forces, Steve Rogers is assassinated, shot once in the shoulder by a sniper, then three times in the stomach by his lover, S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Sharon Carter, as he enters a Federal Courthouse.

No these are the tears of a man who missed out on one of the most important issues of Marvel's whole Civil War crossover event. The tears of a man who forget to ask his Joe to pop into Golden Apple (since he didn't have to go into work until late). These are the tears of a man who missed out on Captain America 25, the issue that told the above story.

*Sob!*

These are real tears!!!

Seriously, I spend most of my day with adolescents who don't speaka-the-English but they are making much more sense than a certain lad right now! :-P

You'll be able to get an issue at cover price (Midtown Comics has them still I think), a second wave of the books will be in stores soon, I think. It's a really good issue; I really really liked it, despite the fact that I hated what they did to Cap in Civil War. Thank God it's Brubaker writing this. He rocks!
