The venerable superhero is killed in the issue of his namesake comic that hit stands Wednesday, the New York Daily News reported. On the new edition's pages, a sniper shoots down the shield-wielding hero as he leaves a courthouse.

It ends a long run for the stars-and-stripes-wearing character, created in 1941. Over the years, some 210 million copies of Captain America comic books, published by New York-based Marvel Entertainment Inc., have been sold in 75 countries.

Damn man, how do you kill Captain America..?

I hope they are not doing this for sales reasons, bringing him back under some stink circumstances reeks...If they're going to kill him, at least they should let the man go with some dignity...Seems like a cheap shot, to kill him w/a sniper...

Yes...this was to sell more comics.

...and YES. He will be back.

Superman has died, what.....137 times now?? LOL

Marvel

Coming back from the dead isn't new when it comes to comics. I'm thinking this has something to do with Civil War and The Initiative.

And I'm on it guys!

The Death of Captain America: America's Fallen Son

After the shocking events of Captain America #25, Steve Rogers, better known to the world as the star-spangled Captain America, lies dead, having been assassinated on the steps of a federal courthouse. Being led to trial for violating the Superhuman Registration Act and engaging in the Civil War that pitted super hero against super hero, Rogers was senselessly taken from a world that he had helped save countless times before.

The ramifications of a loss this huge could only be told in a five part event: Fallen Son: The Death of Captain America. Each chapter will follow different Marvel heroes and chronicle their reactions to this loss, the first two spotlighting Wolverine and the Avengers, both New and Mighty.
