The Funny Farm

Captain America, dead at 66. Co creator Joe Simon ( Jack Kirby co creator ) was quoted "It's a hell of a time for him to go. We really need him now,"
I am very impressed that the storyline deals with loosing our freedoms since 9-11, and Captain America's true to character, revulsions to this attack on our civil liberties. Wow. The Marvel house of Ideas has gained my respect again.
Yes we all know that super hero deaths are not permanent, clones, or a myriad of other resurrections are possible, but this super hero death is profound in the face of this new American Century, that has the PINAC group out to change it and the world. Make Mine Marvel.
I devoted this weeks cartoon to Cap, see it at my website.

I dunno - this looks and feels like a permanent end to Cap. He was one of my faves, too. And he had already turned his shield in once before when he didn't approve of the way the government was using his services.

I'm just a bit surprised that they had the cojones to do this at this time. Hope Kirby et al don't fly on any small planes in the near future...

I'm sure Cap won't be gone for long, there's a big buget movie in the works, as well as a video game, and the Captain America title will continue without Cap. Also Jack Kirby left us several years ago, hes gone, but not forgotten.

You are a fucking idiot.

Such reasoned, thoughtful, and productive commentary! Must be a Putsch supporter. Note the yellow stain trailing behind this coward, who can't even give a valid email address when he spews his bile.

You have now officially had your one strike, Reich wingnut troll. If you have nothing productive to add to the discussion, your comments will be removed from this site and your IP address and URL will be banned.

I'm a fcuking idiot? At least I didn't vote for a murdering drunken cokeheaded deserter.

A great fictional patriot dies and the trolls come to the funeral and piss on a symbol of America, how sad indeed, He must be a product of the Fox opinion channel.
