☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis 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.
In "Denial," Wolverine grapples with the truth of Captain America’s death, enlisting Daredevil and Dr. Strange to help him confront it firsthand. Together, they infiltrate the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier, where Wolverine faces Crossbones and must finally see the body of Steve Rogers—no matter how painful the confirmation may be.
In "Anger," the New Avengers gather for a quiet game of cards, but the mood shifts as they confront the lingering fallout of Captain America’s death. When the Mighty Avengers respond to a sea monster attack led by Tiger Shark using the Horn of Gabriel, their rage becomes a force of its own.
In the shadow of looming war, the U.S. Army races to harness a revolutionary super-soldier serum—only to find their hopes resting on one frail man, Steve Rogers, whose courage and willpower may be the only thing that can turn the tide.
In "Case No. 2" from *Fallen Son: The Death of Captain America*, Captain America and Bucky chase a trail of sabotage across the nation’s defense industries, following a cryptic clue left by a mysterious stranger who claimed it would happen. With no clear motive and a growing list of targets, the duo must untangle a conspiracy that feels too personal to be coincidence.
In "The Chess Board of Death," a mysterious villain has set a deadly game in motion, carving wooden figures of his intended victims—each a piece on a board that could trigger a global catastrophe. With Captain America and Bucky among the marked, the stakes are higher than ever, and the clock is ticking before the final move is made.
In "Stories from the Dark Ages," the wise old Ak shares a haunting memory of the hairless ones who once came to the jungle, long before his time. As he recounts the past, he crosses paths with Tanir, and the two forge an unlikely bond, setting out on a journey through the wild unknown.
