This is from CNN...

The character's death came as a blow to co-creator Simon, the Associated Press reported.

"We really need him now," Simon, 93, told The AP.

Still, one has to wonder: Is Captain America really dead? Comic book characters have routinely died, only to be resurrected when necessary to storylines.

Joe Quesada agrees -- but said times are different now.

"There was period in comics where characters would just die and then be resurrected. And the death had very little meaning and the resurrection had very little meaning," he said. "All I ask of my writers is if you're going to kill a character off, please let that death have some meaning in the overall scope of things."

Looks like he's not coming back.

The only upside to the good Captain's death? If he had survived his wounds, he might have been sent to Walter Reed.

Re: RIP Capt. America

Why did I get upset when I read it? Maybe he should have died fat, of a burst artery. Bleh, this cheered me up:

The original Captain Marvel (or Mar-Vell) died, succumbing to cancer.
