out with the old, in with the silver surfer


Marvel Comics released the death of Captain America yesterday, in the comic book's most recent issue, #25. Debuting in March 1941, the character was created as an adversary to Adolf Hitler. A super soldier in his day, America's old-fashioned patriotism seems unfit in the country's current state of war at hand. Instead, Marvel is making way for, 'The Rise of the Silver Surfer,' implementing one of their more complex and abstract super heroes, whose immeasurable powers are conflicted by the inability of understanding the differences between good and evil. Fantastick Four: Rise of The Silver Surfer, is due to land in theaters on June 15.
