It was on the Beeb and averything. I heard it on Radio 4 on the way home.


I'm working on fanart to commiserate this sad day, which I'll post up here after it's finished.



But what a way to kill him! Superman dies after a long, drawn out battle with an impossible supervillain, but Cap, a symbol of American patriotism, is killed by a sniper!

Visit the forums to discuss this in more detail.

So Rest In Peace, Captain America, untill, in a few years' time, they decide to resurrect you again.
