Captain America Assassinated

Here is my first real official post. I found this article on cnn.com on found it to be quite upsetting. It involved the death of a very liked and patriotic superhero. This superhero is none other than Captain America.

Now I can't say I am a expert on Captain America but I know enough about the comic book to be somewhat turned. Captain America of course runs around and saves America from the threat of communism or terrorism or any of that American hating propaganda. He was real big in the 1960s and 50s after the war cause he fought off all the threats to America.

All that Captain America heroism is now gone. Marvel Comics has now killed him off in the latest issue. How can Marvel comics do this? Well they write the comic books so they can really do whatever they want. What is the logic behind this assassination? Apparently Captain America is going on trial for violating a law in the new superhero registration act. This law that he violated proceeded to start a 9/11 like event. He then is shot while walking into the courthouse. Apparently bullets kill Captain America. Superman can break any law he wants though.

Captain America is dead. Yes. Marvel comics hopes to make this some sort of an issue relating to the Patriot Act and The War on Terror. I'm not really sure how this can relate to the United States and The Laws we have here. We don't have any superheros, we aren't superheros ourselves, there aren't any superheros trying to save us. So what the hell are they trying to prove. I would hope to look into this further cause the Patriot Act is supposed to help protect the country against terrorism and not kill superheros.
