About this Collection
This 2009 Marvel hardcover collects the five-issue Fallen Son miniseries, which explores the emotional aftermath of Captain America's death through the perspectives of key Marvel heroes. Each chapter focuses on a different stage of grief—denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance—as experienced by Wolverine, Spider-Man, Iron Man, Clint Barton, and others grappling with the loss of Steve Rogers. The story serves as a character-driven tribute to the legacy of Captain America, written by Jeph Loeb with art by Leinil Francis Yu, John Romita Jr., and others.
