Captain America is dead. The headline has trickled out of the ream of Marvel comics and out into the mainstream media including Newsweek, NY Daily News and the most prestigious of news outlets, the Colbert Report with Stephen Colbert. The shock of Captain America’s death has left us all reeling but a more important question is who will now become the living embodiment of America? Marvel released the following image from an upcoming issue of Punisher War Journal. Captain America’s headgear is clearly visible and as any astute reader of Civil War can tell you, Frank Castle is the one who picked up Cap’s mask after he surrendered to Iron Man in Civil War #7. The other image is that of journalist Stephen Colbert who it seems was left Cap’s shield in the recently uncovered last will and testament of Steve Rogers. What direction will this take the country in the post Civil War world? Will we follow the gun happy killer of killers the Punisher or the countries #1 source of truthiness? Time will tell.
