2-HeadedGiraffe: Death Post? Doubtful.
Captain America, like so many super heroes before him, has died. Now, forgive me if I'm a bit distrustful of the comic industry, but back when I was reading Fantastic Four in my younger days, I saw Reed Richards and Dr. Doom "die." The characters grieved, mourned, and searched for Mr. Fantastic (Richards) for quite some time. Meanwhile, the editor's columns and letters sections and whatnot swore up and down neither of them was coming back, that they had, in fact, died (if I recall, they were on some sort of teleporation device which overloaded and reduced them to a pile of ashes but it's been a while and I don't feel like fact-checking tonight yet). Of course, after they'd ran with it for quite some time (props to them for trying to convince us), the two of them showed up again, alive and well (again, if I recall, the device they were on actually had transported them. I forget where the tell-tale ash came from).
The moral of the story? Real death is rare in comic books, and maybe that fact cheapens the threat and makes us cynical.
