CNN spills the beans on a huge Marvel plot twist. SPOILERS, DO NOT READ IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO KNOW A MAJOR TWIST!
[spoil]According to the New York Daily News, Captain America dies in issue #25, after being shot on the steps of the courthouse where he was to be arraigned.
"It's a hell of a time for him to go. We really need him now," co-creator Joe Simon, 93, told the News after being informed of his brainchild's death.
The News outlined Cap’s history up to the point of Civil War, quoting current Cap writer Ed Brubaker as saying:
"What I found is that all the really hard-core left-wing fans want Cap to be standing out on and giving speeches on the streetcorner against the Bush administration, and all the really right-wing [fans] all want him to be over in the streets of Baghdad, punching out Saddam," Brubaker said.
From the News:
Comic book deaths, however, are rarely final. Marvel's archrival, DC Comics, provoked a media frenzy when it killed off Superman in 1993, only to reanimate its prize creation a year later.
Joe Quesada, 43, Marvel Entertainment's editor in chief, said he wouldn't rule out the shield-throwing champion's eventual return. But for now, the Captain's fans are in mourning.
Newsarama will endeavor to keep a rolling update of the media's coverage of the story running throughout the day.
The AP Version, Based on the News story
According to various reports, the death was a topic of conversation on Fox News' Fox and Friends this morning. Predictably, the commentators on the show questioned whether or not now is the time for Captain America to be killed, given his historical role in fighting America's enemies, and the country is currently at war. Reportedly, the show has posted a question about the timing of Cap's death as their "Question of the Day" on their website, although it could not be easily found on their site at 8:00 am.
Forbes enters with a revised AP story, noting some of the financials.
