The Death of Captain America: America's Fallen Son

After the shocking events of Captain America #25, Steve Rogers, better known to the world as the star-spangled Captain America, lies dead, having been assassinated on the steps of a federal courthouse. Being led to trial for violating the Superhuman Registration Act and engaging in the Civil War that pitted super hero against super hero, Rogers was senselessly taken from a world that he had helped save countless times before.

Funeral arrangements will be announced by Marvel Comics in their upcoming heart-wrenching five-issue mini-series, "Fallen Son."
