Captain America Brubaker

You think the death of Captain America is a metaphor for things that are happening in our country today?
Comics are full of metaphors. Just look at the X-Men! They are a perfect example. But when it comes to the death of Captain America, u think Ed Brubaker, the current writer the book is trying to say something about our country and our society is today?
In one of the issues of the Civil War Frontline, Captain America is pierced by a reporter about the changing values of America (the discourse on MySpace, American Idol, etc. I'm sure you know it). I'm sure that the speech was to endear the reader to Captain America and really emphasize that the "man of his time" aspect. With that your theory works, in my opinion. Maybe Brubaker decision was more in response to this issue of Frontline, but the whole series Civil War seemed full of social commentary (if you see it as well done or not), then it is impossible to write a tie running without some sort of comment. I think Brubaker mentioned that he chose to kill Cap, because the alternative was put in prison. This has already happened in Daredevil, and wanted something new. If he had some reason behind it probably will not say. Any way, your opinion has merit.

Excerpt: The Angel The Angel ( Thomas Halloway ) is a fictional character , superhero in comic books published by Marvel Comics . Created by writer-artist Paul Gustavson during the period comics fans and historians call the Golden Age of comic books , the Angel first appeared in Marvel Comics #1 (Oct. 1939), the first publication of Marvel predecessor Timely Comics . The Angel, like Batman , is a non-superpowered detective who nonetheless wore a superhero costume. Gustavson cited Leslie Charteris ‘ pulp-novel detective, Simon Templar , the “Saint,” as a model for the Angel. Publication history The Angel was the next-most-popular Timely character after the “big three” of the Human Torch , the Sub-Mariner and Captain America , with more than 100 Golden Age appearances starting in that initial Marvel title (which changed its name to Marvel Mystery Comics with issue #2), up through #79 (Dec. 1946); as the sole backup feature in Sub-Mariner Comics #1-21 (Spring 1941 – Fall 1946); and in occasional appearances in Mystic Comics and Daring Comics . A simulacrum of the Angel was temporarily created from the mind of Rick Jones , along with those of the Blazing Skull , the Fin , the Patriot , and the Golden Age Vision , to aid the superhero team the Avengers during the Kree-Skrull War , in The Avengers #97 (March 1972). The Angel is one of the central characters of the 2009 comic-book series The Marvels Project , by writer Ed Brubaker and penciler Steve Epting .
