Yeah, you Marvel fans don't get to whine about character deaths. Over in DCland we lost a Robin, another Robin's dad, Blue Beetle, had Max Lord turn evil and get killed, Booster Gold (kinda), The Question, Elongated Man and his wife....Am I forgetting anybody? All this in under two years.
But...thats not really true. I don't know about Cap, but Civil War (if that's what you're referring to) has almost consistently been the top selling book.
And come on, the Punisher is great because he's the Punisher. But making him Cap would be just beyond retarded for so many reasons. Besides, he may have gotten the mask but somebody else just got the shield. And there is no better candidate:
You're right, Civil War has some good readership (although I can't for the life of me figure out why. It really is nothing more than a Watchmen ripoff with some post-9/11 themes [HOW ORIGINAL!]), but Captain America was suffering greatly. And seriously...Captain America punisher would be super-badass, and you know it. Just a temporary thing, though, until marvel decides to play God again.

Also, nobody was reading marvel's shitty Watchmen-ripoff series, and nobody was reading Captain America anymore. This was a publicity move.
