 Marvel Civil War's Final Ending October 24, 2008
I got to say i'm probably a bit one sided on this book because Captain America is my favorite Marvel character. To tell the truth though, theres not alot of cap in this book. Nevertheless, I loved this book! I just finished reading it for the first time and I am re-reading it now. The art is absolutley (in my mind) amazing. In my opinion this book definitley lived up to the The Death of Captain America series. The stories were fantastic and once again, the art is awesome. If you've read Civil War definitley get this book. The writing though is(to me at least) very touching. When Iron Man says good-bye to Cap for the last time it really struck a nerve. But, in my opinion there was not a single weak story. i mean sure some Stories were stronger than others (Wolverine, Spider-man and Iron-Man being my favorites.) if I had to pick my least favorite though It be the new avengers one. But,it still is a fantastic read. If your a Captain America fan, a Civil War lover, or just enjoy good stories pick this one up.

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.
