 Great comic! July 15, 2008
I already knew this comic book didn't include the actual comic of Captain America's death, but I bought it anyway. i actually enjoyed this comic. Some of the lines were kinda corny, but that's a comic book for ya. Anyway, I would recommend this book to any comic book lover.
 The dream is dead...for now April 21, 2008

In the aftermath of Civil War, Steve Rogers, AKA Captain America, met his apparent end via sniper's bullet. With Cap dead, Fallen Son focuses on the aftermath of his demise, and the effects it has on fellow heroes Wolverine, Spider-Man, and his one time ally and opposing force of the pro-registration act, Iron Man. The comics collected in Fallen Son: The Death of Captain America, are the various Fallen Son one-shots written by Jeph Loeb, who marked this as his return to Marvel. The biggest flaw of Fallen Son is that there are so many great ideas here that never really come to fruition. Loeb has managed to garner emotion in his previous, more higher profile works for Marvel (Daredevil: Yellow and even Spider-Man: Blue), but his attempts to do so here just seem stale. There's great artwork throughout though, including the talents of the great John Romita Jr., Ed McGuiness, and Planetary and Astonishing X-Men artist John Cassaday as well. That being said, you'll either dig Fallen Son or you won't, depending on how you feel about an icon like Steve "Captain America" Rogers getting laid to rest (for now). All in all, Fallen Son is worth a look at the very least, but don't expect anything special.
It's a shame I can't give it ten stars February 8, 2008

I have to say, I absolutely loved this book. It almost made my permanent collection, but it didn't, only because of all the books you have to read to prepare for it (the early new avengers, most of the civil war books, death of Captain America, and a working knowledge of all included.
Wolverine is the first one, and what I really loved was seeing a man so jaded when it comes to death be really affected, in denial.
The Avengers were next and I liked it, though it probably is the weakest story in here.
The Cap America story... wow.
Spider-Man comes next, and let me tell you, Peter responds the only way he knows how, with tremendous hurt and guilt.
And we close with the funeral in Iron Man. And you get the sense that something new is coming out from within him.
You don't have to buy this book, but you mus read it.
The excellent good buy to a really good character January 29, 2008
This book presents all the stages of sadness, first the denied, second rege, third depression and final aceptance. The art is really good and the story is great, this is must have because has all the best drawer in the comics business.
