No matter. It'll all be rebooted within the year and none of this will even be remembered.

Yeah... its not in the least "insulting Steve". You obviously aren't really reading this. There are two storylines going: Current time period and the re-written history time period. The past storyline ends in this issue on a cliffhanger where they are implying that they are going to influence/brainwash/raise a young Rogers as a Hydra agents because" they have great things in store" for him. This is probably the most interesting storyline for Rogers since Brubaker was writing him.

For the folks complaining "It will just get retconed!". Who cares? I'd rather have interesting stories that are actually worth picking up and reading that get retconed later than the same old drab garbage over and over again.

People are still jumping on the "Oh the humanity" bandwagon here. Get a grip people.

@primeearth2016: I was talking in specifics, This scene of a hero killing a villain for shock value or to see that he is foregone to the dark side is exactly like with Superior Spider-Man killing Massacre there was no repercussions to that murder. It was done for a cheap shock value boost and this is no different.

Perhaps if we stop falling for these "shocks" they will stop doing them and go back to carefully planned and well written stories.

@ezekael: Interesting? It's not really because this story is too similar to a story that already happened with another hero in recent memory, So it comes across as just being a cheap knock off.

Remender's run was horrible and Spencer's has been no different so saying this is the most interesting Steve has been since Brubaker is not saying much because we have had two talented writers do abysmal work with him.

Has Cap ever killed anyone on their knees surrendering?

@br_havoc: No repurcussions for that exact scene no but you cant say the entire run didnt leave repurcussions for Peter afterweards.

F*** Marvel

thats the thing, people made a big deal about this, made a bunch of memes and so on, they act like they never read a comic before. People get brain washed all the time. It was almost embarrassing seeing these "hardcore" readers thinking he actually went bad forever

@w0nd: Agreed! I don't know what satisfaction or joy comes from getting so upset about this. Don't get me wrong, I love my comics and the characters. It just seems like a waste to get so enraged by all of it.

@primeearth2016: I never said there was no repercussions from the series, but that scene is incredibly similar to this one and I doubt there will be any fall out, It's just a cheap shock tactic.

This story is 16 days old and nobody has commented in 11 days. Why is this the lead off story on the front page. Is something going on in the office? Is there no new news to speak of? This site just hasn't been the same since the Gamespot merger.

Of course, nobody will read this comment because nobody has clicked on this story in days.

I read it!
