Captain America: The Death Of Captain America [Marvel Premier Collection]

In the wake of CIVIL WAR comes the death of the dream!

As Steve Rogers’ allies find their loyalties divided by the Superhuman Registration Act, Captain America’s life is shattered — and when the Civil War is over, it is taken from him! With Steve shot down in cold blood — having given his last final measure for the nation he loved — the Falcon seeks revenge, Sharon Carter spirals out of control and Bucky Barnes must reconcile his own sordid past with the need to seek justice. And as the world reels from this tragedy, the Red Skull and his minions — including Sin, Crossbones and a new Serpent Squad — put their deadliest plan into motion!
