Fallen Son: The Death of Captain America, La Muerte del Capitán América

Published in 2008 by Editorial Televisa, Fallen Son: The Death of Captain America is a five-issue miniseries that explores the emotional aftermath of Captain America’s assassination, told through the stages of grief. Written primarily by Jeph Loeb and illustrated by a rotating team of top-tier artists including Ed McGuinness, John Cassaday, and John Romita Jr., the series offers a poignant character study rather than a straightforward action story. Its significance lies in how it reframes a major superhero death as a deeply human meditation on loss, resilience, and legacy.
