Son historias que complementan muy bien al arco de la muerte de Steve Rogers. Lo que más cabe resaltar es el duelo de Spiderman y el discurso de Falcon al final.

I have a hard time ranking books 5 star. I usually reserve 5 for my all-time favourite reads, but I felt this one deserved it.

I intentionally saved this collection for the end of my civil war (part one) era read through because if it was done well, I felt it would have ended the era with the nicely ribbon it deserved. It did not disappoint.

I wasn't sure what to expect with the narrative of the Fallen Son issues but I felt they greatly encapsulated different people's responses to grief and loss.

I highly recommend if you read civil war comics save this series for the very end.

People coping with Cap's death by going through the four stages of grief...

This one starts up where Civil War left off. I like how it was told in chapters that went along with the stages of grief.

Nice tribute though a little dark. I did shed a tear at the end on the final Avengers Assemble panel. Loved book 4, depression, the best. Great illustrations and a really nice touch with Spider-Man's flashback with Cap and the Hulk.

This is an amazing collection and I'm so glad that I got a chance to read it. We see several characters work through their loss of Captain America after the Civil War, and the book is set up as each step in the grieving process. I thought it was a wonderful send off for the character which really brings us to a place where we can move forward in the narrative. I'm curious as to how this would continue in the Captain America comics since this installment is very anti-"Steve Rogers is dead but Captain America lives on."

For: fans of superheroes and action adventure; readers that want a closer character study or closure in the aftermath of Captain America's death.

Possible red flags: violence and fighting; language; depictions of the grieving process; conspiracies.

It makes total sense that the aftermath of Cap's death should get an entire graphic novel. He's one of the biggest characters in the Marvel universe. And I didn't feel like this was some kind of marketing thing to sell more comics. You really feel for the characters, especially Spider-Man, as they take a break from saving the world to mourn one of the best among them.

Las cinco fases tras un fallecimiento (en este caso el del Capitán América). Más que aceptable.

sometimes comics need to reflect on the enormity of an event. this is one of them
