Quick, try this spn fandom video (http://www.goldenmaze.com/counteragent/ca_index.htm#spn_stillalive). It's a beautiful summation of the power of fandom and how our love for our source materials and each other will triumph even when canon sucks/is painful. It made me think of comics as soon as I saw it, despite being about Supernatural fans.
And, for the record, I hate current canon, too. I actually kind of liked Civil War itself, because the Tony angst is so all-encompassing and beautiful and there's so much gratuitous melodrama, but my hatred over Steve being dead is such that I'm not sure I could trust myself to be in the same room as Ed Brubaker at a convention and not do something that would get me thrown out of the con. I would wait in line for hours just for the chance to tell him exactly what I thought of him to his face. (though I suspect that, when push came to shove, I'd end up paraphrasing Aunty Em from The Wizard of Oz. "For months I've been dying to tell you what I thought of you, and now, being a Christian woman... I can't say it.").
