Well....they've done it. I'm not sure exactly what Marvel Comics has in mind but they've killed Steve Rogers, the man behind the mask of Captain America.

I used to read this Title and I may read a bit here and there to see how badly they've destroyed the name Captain America. For some Captain America was simply a costume.....a man in a star spangled suit with a cool shield. For me....Captain America was more than a suit......the man wearing it WAS Captain America. Giving someone else the suit or the title is a joke....its been done...anyone remember US Agent? He wasn't Cap.....no one else is either.

Rants on things going on in the world today as well as some personal crap that bugs me here and there.

No one could ever be Captain America. I agree. Steve was Captain America. He wasn't just a suit. He transcended the costume to truly become a mesh of both his identities. Especially once he was ripped out of his time and woke up in ours. All he had was being Cap. It defined him.
USAgent is a tool. Always will be. They sent him to Canada to help with Omega Flight. Never liked him.
Ive read Cap since issue 6, then read back to make sure I didn't miss any. Ed Brubaker is an amazing writer. He writes Cap better than anyone ever has. He really brought the character back. I highly recommend it.
