Captain America #1 is a risk in some ways. Zdarskys tweak to Captain Americas early days is jarring at first. But once that sensation is out of the way, the necessity of it is clear, and the narrative is all the more compelling. Combine that with captivating artwork, and the result is a stellar first issue. This Captain America #1 is a relevant story and a must read whether youve ever liked the Captain or not. Read Full Review
Captain America #1 is a strong start but it highlights one issue with Marvel's universe (and comics as a whole) in the sliding time line as to when things happened. While there's a lot of potential, the comic isn't subtle at all making it clear what we can expect. We'll see how this new addition to Captain America's history plays out but overall, it opens up too many questions about the Marvel comic universe to not cause a distraction. Read Full Review
Zdarsky's script is exceptional, and it's so fascinating to get these early interactions with younger versions of the characters. And Schiti's is impeccable at odds, beginning with a terrible image that is so iconic and memorable, etched into the memories of so many. It demonstrates a boldness and bravery on the part of the creators in telling a plot that addresses a hostile world. Read Full Review
Plot
This new saga reimagines Captain America thawing out in 2025, a year the Avengers discovered, and he must adapt to everything happening in these times when immediacy rules everything.
Steve decides to re-enlist in the army and contacts General Ross, who, seeing his potential and physical abilities, assigns him a mission: to stop Doctor Doom, who has just taken over Latveria and declared himself its dictator.
Cap consults Reed Richards about Doom, seeking an idea of who he's up against. He makes it clear that he can carry out this mission because he's a soldier, as the laws are against superpowers.
On the other hand, it tells the parallel story of David Colton, a young man who always wanted to more
Chip channeling his Daredevil run energy over his Batman run.
Damn it, I'm in.
Fntastic, it's been a while since the last time i saw a narrative that good.
Maybe it was the coloring, but I swear this is not Valerio Schiti's art. When I compare it to Empyre or GODS or Inferno, it's totally different. I can't put my hands on it, but this artist was really familiar.
regardless, I was surprised on how well this book was, considering how dissapointing Zdarsky's Batman final ending. I hope Zdarsky's run on Captain America will also be solid, and I will have my fingers crossed
