It's amazing to see and hear that they are going to kill off another comic book icon. First it was Superman back in the 90s with Doomsday, and now it's Captain America with an assassin's bullet.
You know, it would be a lot *easier* if they just killed them off and let them stay dead. This way, we can go on with new comic book storylines and not have to rehash things over and over.
A friend of mine was right: The comics are getting almost "Disney"-like with the way things are going. There's no fresh blood, there's no originality. It's just endless monotony.
I'm so glad I don't have that problem with my STARCHILD storylines. No superheroes with secret identities, no magic formula from which to pull the hero's bacon out of the fire.
It's all done on REALITY. And when the character dies, he or she stays DEAD. There is no resurrection, no anything which will impede the progression of the story.

Like in STARCHILD DUEL for instance. In the alternate reality which I've created, there's a lot more dark things going on for the Starchild's counterpart. She's losing the battle against Nemesis because her power levels never INCREASED like they have for Isis herself. So she's been fighting a war handicapped all this time, but she doesn't seem to mind. It's her destiny (and fate) to battle it out until the bitter end.
And when the end comes for her and her boyfriend, she's *dead*. And unlike Superman and possibly Captain America (who may come back), this version of Isis McGowan doesn't come back.
Thus, allowing the storyline to continue. And while her counterpart's death affects Isis pretty heavily, she now realizes the *mortality* of her own existence, and what really goes on with being the Starchild of Ancient Lore.
No matter how powerful you are, there's someone or some thing out there who is more than willing to permanently punch your clock.

This is what COMICS should be based on! Hard reality. Not fantasy! If the movers and the shakers could base a new line of comics based on this ideal--I can GUARANTEE you that there would be a whole new generation of avid comic book fans who would appreciate the change in the status quo.
I know I would.

Batman or Spider-Man.
It's got to be one of the biggies. Anything smaller wouldn't grab the headlines, and this is what these storylines are all about. They're about getting some press and making some quick $$.
I don't mind if they want to kill off and resurrect a major superhero. The problem is the why and how. If the why is for a good STORY, then I'm all for it. If it's just to boost sales (e.g., the Death of Superman), then I think it sucks. And to do it as stupidly as the Doomsday story, well that double -- no, triple -- sucks.
Without having read the Captain America storyline, I'm guessing it's almost but not quite as bad as the Death of Superman. It would be pretty tough to be worse.

Well, I am afraid that the writers and editors of Marvel may be in league with America’s enemies (even if they themselves don’t realize it!) This is like people in other lands burning President Bush in effigy. It is what they would like to do in reality, and whenever it happens, they get together and start trouble. Now, we will see our soldiers overseas be attacked, because these numbskulls have encouraged them and made them bold and think that we are self-destructing.
I hope like anything they bring back Captain America-- the real original one, not just a copy. But I have no confidence in Marvel, any more.
