It looks like it; they’re supposed to be killing him off in the issue that comes out today. He gets shot by a sniper (Winter Soldier.) What a foolish move. Marvel doesn’t realize it, but they’re sawing off the branch they are sitting on, and they expect to stay where they are when the rest of the tree falls down. Dumb, dumb.
Marvel seems to have grown really cynical. It especially bothers me that a man like Stan Lee with Jewish heritage should side with the Iron Fuhrer (Tony Stark) instead of the noble American liberator, Captain America. He doesn’t seem to remember his history lessons that registration leads to oppression and to genocide.
There is some suggestion that the Punisher will take up the mantle of Captain America. but he can’t. it’s not wearing the costume, and it’s not offing the bad guys. If that’s all we needed, then Super Patriot would have been okay to take Cap’s place back in the 80’s.
But that’s not who Captain America is. He is the living embodiment of the nobility and honor and idealism of America. Marvel is trying to change the definiton of America, and they will not succeed.
They will have to bring him back, eventually. This is an even worse mistake then Civil War!

They will kill off the captain this Week! I suppose that this is only to match the current view of America as a whole. If Irony and current media culture is any guide Good old Cap will be replaced with a new hero. Captain Homeland Security. The new captain will fight progress and idealism with his un-ending supply of red tape. That coupled with his army illegal migrant workers will set out to destroy the middle class and bring death to the "American Way".

The rumor you are hearing was picked up today by the national news. Checkout CNN or Yahoo news.
And if you read comics, see what's up with Captain America #25 being released today.

Not that I'm aware of. I stopped reading about six months ago for financial reasons, but at that time, the superheroes of the Marvel Universe were split between those who agreed to reveal their secret identities and those who didn't - this was the result of the Superhero Registration Act. If I'm not mistaken, Cap went underground. The entire run from Marvel was titled "Civil War" and pitted hero against hero.

Apparently he is shot outside the court he is about to bhe tried in.
Weather it was him, a clone, or an LMD (Life Model Decoy) had yet to be disclosed.
I hope its an LMD, I Love the guy and anything "mystical" runs coutnern to the character himself.
I know realism in a patriot is a bit niaeve. but sue me!
