Big Captain America Spoiler….Coming from the Pages of Marvel Comics’ Civil War
No really, this is huge, really huge… A big Captain America spoiler after the jump (you’ve been warned…)
You killed Captain America! Indeed, on trial on the steps of a courtyard, Marvel comics have decided to kill Captain America in Captain America #25. Verified from an AP article:
“The venerable superhero is killed in the issue of his namesake comic that hit stands Wednesday, the Daily News reported.
On the new edition’s pages, a sniper shoots down the shield-wielding hero as he leaves a courthouse, according to the newspaper.
It ends a long run for the stars-and-stripes-wearing character, created in 1941 to incarnate patriotic feeling during World War II. Over the years, an estimated 210 million copies of “Captain America” comic books, published by New York-based Marvel Entertainment Inc., have been sold in a total of 75 countries.”
