Loading... Fallen Son: The Death of Captain Americaby Jeph Loeb
None. A series of stories following the death of Captain America, and how the rest of the Marvel heroes respond to his death. Cap was never one of my favorite Marvel characters - too much of a goody-goody. But there was some inspiration in seeing the eminent Jeph Loeb handle depicting the respect and admiration that this iconic character brought out in his partners in battle, whether they fought beside him or against him. (  ) burnit99 | Aug 16, 2010 |  Essentially the conclusion to Marvel's Civil War series in which heroes squared off against each other over whether they should be registered with the gov't. Cap led the rebel side while everyone's favorite big screen hero, Tony Stark, was the catalyst for the sell-outs. The main storyline was very good, and timely of course. Too many side stories (how it affected all the Marvel characters, major and minor). Cap's death is a monumental development, but comic characters have been known to come back form fates worse than death. (  ) francomega | Jul 18, 2009 | The superheroes go through the various stages of grief after Captain America is murdered. ( ) angellreads | Dec 4, 2008 | An interesting take on the death of Captain America, as Marvel characters are shown going through the stages of grief. Some don't accept the news; others know all the too how true it is. The individual stories are a bit uneven (the Avengers story, for example, goes nowhere) but, all in all, a worthwhile read. The Falcon's funeral speech is particularly well written. (  ) dschander | Oct 9, 2008 | This is like bad cable TV. But two years on LibraryThing! 140 books! Yaaaaay.
