Scott's Take: The Death of Captain America by Larry Hama

 

The Death of Captain America by Larry Hama is a novel that adapts the same story arc in the comics from the Marvel Universe. In this book, set after the events of the superhero Civil War, Captain America is murdered through a conspiracy by the Red Skull. This novel explores various characters attempting to uncover the truth and stop the Red Skull from destroying the United States. But with Steve dead, who will pick up his legacy, and stop the Red Skull?

 

This book is told from the point of view of Bucky, Sharon Carter, The Falcon, Iron Man, Red Skull, and others. Steve is in it for a bit, but this book deals mostly with how his life impacted others. There is action, humor, Nazis, and sex. There is also a miscarriage which could be triggering for some readers.

 


Overall, I enjoyed this adaption of the comics books story arc.
