Captain America Lives Again

It seems in a few months Captain America will be reborn and turn up alive again at Marvel Comics. I think this is partially a reason why comic book fans, who have grown older have become cynical of comic books, or lost interest.

Why care if a character dies, when you know they will just eventually return, and at some point return to their status quo. Dying in comic book universes mean nothing, because if a character even has a minor league fan base, and profit can be made from them they will return. Think of all the C- characters like Wonder Man who die, only to return. If a C- character won’t stay dead, do you think a major character will?

I think with an aging audience, some people have caught on to the fact that, for example: Will Spider-Man’s identity be revealed next issue? Will Wolverine survive that fatal shot next month?

The cliffhanger really has no merit anymore for the next issue, because given enough time or years a character will always return to their status quo, and that big incident that happened is forgotten like it never existed.

That’s my thoughts on it, what about you?
