The End of Captain America!

As I'm sure you've all heard by now, Captain America was killed off by Marvel in issue 25, released yesterday. I've never seen a comic fly off the shelves so fast. No doubt because of the major news coverage the story received.

It turns out we were one of the few stores in St. Louis that could satisfy demand after 1 PM yesterday - we made it until about 6 before we sold out. That should tell you that we had essentially no advance warning about this dramatic turn of events.

Marvel swears that they overprinted this run dramatically and that they will be able to fill all backorders. We have many more copies coming in (if Marvel is true to their word) so we should be able to accomodate most everyone. Rest assured, all pull customers got theirs and we *won't* ever raise the price on these beyond cover. The only limitation: one copy per customer, please.

Marvel has also mentioned the possibility of a second printing. Assuming this also happens, we'll be sure to carry an ample supply for folks who want the variant cover.
