Requiem for a Shield

I'm not a huge comic-book fan, mostly because when I was little, I didn't have enough money to buy comics, and now I feel like I have enough on my plate as it is.

However, I wanted to bring this to your attention, because it's a little sad:

Captain America is dead.

One may have thought he died a long time ago, but his comic days are officially over.

Or, at least as officially as a super-hero's death can be over.

So good-bye, Captain America.

Al Qaeda has won once again.
