This is not Captain America’s first brush with death. Toward the end of World War II he plunged into the ocean during a flight on an experimental plane, and he was presumed killed in action. Actually, he was encased in ice and in a state of suspended animation. Many years later he was discovered by the superhero group the Avengers and thawed out to continue his career. These days, comic books aren’t just for gangly teenage boys or geeky adults. Scott has stepped out of the ethereal realm with Blood of the Black Owl to embrace the more destructive and primal elements found in not only nature, but black metal.
