I agree with madcougar. However, i'm just pissed at Marvel and this whole Civil War mess.
I will say that this issue was fantastic. Brubaker took smelly, maggot-infested lemons and made some lemonade that will make chills run through your body.
Though, I really wish it wasn't spoiled for me..

And oh my, Cap is dead! he's never, ever coming back guys, so don't prepare yourself for the upcoming storyline (that's never going to happen) where he doesn't make a triumphant return to comics in a newly fashioned incarnation that blends all his old and new qualities!

That's what I don't get. I've seen a lot of crying online on various message boards about #25, when in fact the issue was great. It should be a law to have Brubaker right Cap for as long as he lives. And does anyone, anyone, actually think Cap is going to stay dead for any real length of time?
It's times like this that I wish Marvel had legacy heroes like DC because I would like to see Bucky take up the mantle.

Sigh. Too bad for the people who regularly collect this title but don't have a pull list. They'll have to wait for the 2nd print or trade. At least the speculators had a chance to get it.
Sessa, if you are reading this, do you think the LCSs will be blamed for ordering too few of the issue?

Wildo, I bet dollars to donuts that they overprinted BIG TIME on this issue and more issues will be in shops next week.
I think it's a shame that Marvel didn't over ship on this and make the book returnable or something. A lot of money was left on the table.

This madness is 100% MARVEL's fault. If you look at Ebay Wizard Universe must have ordered thousands of copies so they knew what was going on. If I was a small LCS I would be extremely pissed right now....

Perhaps Marvel knew exactly what they were doing and wanted to make a "hot" book that was way underordered. Those fans who buy it month to month by preordering are getting a little something back?

From what I am hearing right now it looks like NO REORDERS on this book. Whatever was released yesterday it all there is, at least for first prints...
I also saw that the Wizard show in LA this weekend has an exclusive variant of Captain America #25. Watch the madness on that one next week!
Personally I think Marvel and Wizard Universe should be ashamed of themselves. They both knew what was going to happen yesterday and the small LSC got screwed over bigtime..Check the finished auctions on Ebay and see how copies Wizard Universe sold yesterday alone for an average of $12.50 EACH. Remember Wizard Universe paid less than $2 per issue....Marvel and Wizard should have alot of explaining to do, especially to the small LCS who looked like the bad guys yesterday....BOO MARVEL

Well 1 ebay auction just ended at $202 for 1 copy of each cover. Madness...
Another guy has auctions for copies, but states:
"PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A PRESALE FOR OUR REPLACEMENT SHIPMENT OF FIRST PRINTS ON 3/21 & 3/28 . These are guaranteed from a direct purchase with our distributor but will not be released until the 21st (this is most likely due to timing with the Wizard World LA show and having enough product for the show ). "
Who knows if that will happen.
Trying not to look at single copies for around $30....

I thought the speculative market died more than 10 years ago.
I hope this doesn't set another precedent and make the companies put out "events" instead of stories with characters - though I guess they've been on that road for a while now...
