oh there were the thing is its just way too much,and its something so drastic they can never take it back,it went a little too far,IMO.Cap's not the only one whos died,take a look at this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_War_(comics)
Captain america has been through this befor and was revived the punisher snipered him about a decade ago.They had a big funerul for the captian and all the other charecters showed up and everything so i say he will be back agin they had to kill him and start fresh with a new plot.
I know they kill off heros when it seems that fans are dying out, but it's just a way to get people interested again. I think they'll bring him back even if it's someone different underneath the suit. They only hero I know they killed off an stayed dead was Shadow Hawk from Image. The comic became kind of crappy after they revealed his identity. 
This is per Marvel.com...
"Captain America will continue to be published despite the very real death of Steve Rogers."
"It's a hell of a time for him to go. We really need him now," said co-creator Joe Simon, 93, after being informed of his brainchild's death.
Series writer Ed Brubaker - who grew up reading Captain America comics while his father, a naval intelligence officer, was stationed on Guantanamo Bay, Cuba - said it wasn't easy to kill off the character. The 40-year-old, however, wanted to explore what the hero meant to the country in these polarized times.
"What I found is that all the really hard-core left-wing fans want Cap to be standing out on and giving speeches on the streetcorner against the Bush administration, and all the really right-wing [fans] all want him to be over in the streets of Baghdad, punching out Saddam," Brubaker said.
Comic book deaths, however, are rarely final. Marvel's archrival, DC Comics, provoked a media frenzy when it killed off Superman in 1993, only to reanimate its prize creation a year later. Joe Quesada, 43, Marvel Entertainment's editor in chief, said he wouldn't rule out the shield-throwing champion's eventual return. But for now, the Captain's fans are in mourning.
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."
