Captain America Buried in Arlington National Cemetary

coondoggie writes "Earlier this year Captain America was slain as the climax to Marvel Comics' Civil War event. The renowned hero will be buried in the next issue of Marvel Comics' 'Fallen Son,' due on July 5. 'Writer Jeph Loeb has been busy working through the stages of grief in his most recent titles, according to an Associated Press story. A book centered on Wolverine dealt with denial; one with the Avengers covered anger; and Spider-Man battled depression. With the story line so relevant to present-day politics, and the timing of the latest issue so precise, it's hard not to think the whole thing is one big slam on the government.'"

    1)Is this really news? 2)I know a lot of people really enjoy comics and all, and maybe it was a reflection of the USA or something (I don't know. I don't read these comics so maybe I shouldn't be talking), but it's still just a comic and just another twist in a storyline. The creative process will continue on and still produce some kind of literature that the comic's fan base will still love.

    Generally speaking, art and politics don't mix You know less than nothing about art.
