Captain America #3

Brubaker writers amazing Captain America; that's my thoughts on this series so far in a sentence. I've never been a big Steve fan, but his recent run (along with his other work) have made me a convert. Ed is the only man who can have Captain America fight a giant robot version of himself and keep me from closing the book. Read Full Review

Ed Brubaker and Steve McNiven deliver another solid read with Captain America #3. The central action of the comic is Captain America fighting the "Ameridroid," a twenty-foot tall robotic version of Captain America with the mind of an insane former Nazi scientist. Like many comic book villains created in the 70's, the Ameridroid certainly has the capacity to be more campy than compelling, but Brubaker manages to avoid that as he puts a surprisingly human face to a giant Nazi robot.

With Cap locked in the dreamworld for the next issue I'm assuming the craziness seen here is only the beginning. Worth a look. Read Full Review

Action-packed, with a lot of big exciting fight sequences, but not a whole lot in terms of character or plot development. Still, the fights are very well done, and its hard to complain when a book does what it sets out to do so well. Read Full Review

McNiven is a great artist, but his work here only serves t highlight the weakness of the series. Was the series a real suspense thriller, his Captain America might have a chance to look and feel right. But here, we see stitches and chainmail details on the costume which only reinforces the reality of the world Captain America lives in, while he looks like an idiot wearing a rubber suit. It doesnt work, unfortunately, no matter how good the artist is. Read Full Review

Confused on how or why Ameridriod showed up but it was a cool action scene. Usually I hate it when Cap faces “an old enemy from the past” because, when you think about it, 90% of Captain America stories are just that. Brubaker makes this work, though
