And you have to give props to Marvel for keeping a consistent art style on the book, too. Cap will be back, of course, just in a new body created by the Cosmic Cube (that's my guess).

Way to go, Defilers of the House of Ideas. One of these days, you're gonna piss off the wrong parent. Lucky for you that kids don't read comics anymore, huh? Hmmm- Wait a minute...If kids aren't reading comics anymore, then where are the Marvel readers of the future going to come from? Boy, that's a real head scratcher, ain't it? Idiots.

Then Hydra flunkies can regularly go by his grave an whiz on it. Let's not miss any opportunity to humiliate this guy. Are we still operating under the Security Vs. Freedom metaphor from Civil War? If so, this is even more depressing. Just wait until next month, when an old villain returns and defiles the corpse! Then Hydra flunkies can regularly go by his grave an whiz on it.
