The Death of a legend

According the news, in the latest issue of Captain America due out today, Captain America will be shot by a sniper and die. He was one of my favorite heroes too. It does not mean that he will come back in the future, but for now he will be dead.

If anyone has kept up with the Civil War saga, you will know that in the end of the Civil War, Captain America gave up the fight and was arrested by the government. The news says that he will be shot on the way out of his trial.

Also, Marvel comics have been hinting about what the Punisher will do next. Towards the end of the Civil War, you find out that the Punisher idolizes Captain America. It is even mentioned that the Punisher is the Captain America for a different generation. At the end of the Civil War saga, Captain America loses his mask and it show the Punisher picking it up. Which leads me to believe that Marvel might turn Punisher into the next Captain America.
