The Confession

Last week Captain America died following the Marvel Civil War event, but many were not sure it was his death for real. Comic characters die all the time and come back, as do most of any heroes out there from the very first ones from myths, so it is natural to think they die today and come back tomorrow. For Cap, he is not coming back any time soon. In the future, no doubt, but not for the next year at the least.

Anyway, to put a confirmation to his death and to give closure to the Civil War event the last Civil War Tie-In, Civil War: The Confession was released last week. The story follows Iron Man as he talks about why he did what he did during the Civil War, and it is done in a way that makes his out-of-character actions ones that are in-character, and also serves to justify his jerkiness by making him a neutral and not a bad guy. It also shows that despite winning the Civil War, he knows it wasn’t worth it, because Cap is dead, and he looked at Cap much like everyone else does, as a role model and someone who was strong. Iron Man is in charge of SHIELD now, but he knows he is not a leader. He envies Cap, who was a born leader.
