Captain America Annual: 2021 #1

Captain America is the kind of character who seems to be used to make political points and view points in any number of creators. Duggan has returned to a straight up superhero story, which when compared to the possibly heavy handedness of his regular book at times, is actually quite refreshing. Read Full Review

When all is said and done Captain America Annual #1 provides an interesting chapter to this developing storyline. Read Full Review

Captain America Annual #1 tells a satisfying chase story along the way to the next Infinity Stone event. It paints a compelling, well-rounded portrait of Overtime, who emerges as the leading "Infinity Person" thanks to his new desire to seek out the other stone-holders. The gritty, detailed art could use a touch more motion, but overall this is a lean, speedy spy caper as well as an interesting serving of event groundwork. Read Full Review

The "Infinite Destinies" event marches on in this week's Captain America Annual, and it definitely creates a more satisfying reading experience than the installments that came before it. Read Full Review

A solid issue that hooks the reader into caring about the remaining Infinity stones. Read Full Review

Widow and Cap have fun banter, but the book feels less like a Cap book overall and more like an Avengers story. And quite frankly, an Avengers story that should have been told earlier considering the event in question happened in 2018. To go this route with the Annual is a bit odd, but Steve has some standout moments in the title. Read Full Review

I wish someone would snap their fingers and get rid of the infinity stones and the storylines. I'm writing this article squatted on the desk like Widow and I'll pop a wheelie while shouting the word loudly as I post it. 1 star Read Full Review

This was good. I'm actually enjoying this annual event more than I expected to. I was one of the five people who enjoyed Infinity Countdown/Infinity Wars, but even I was iffy on the new Infinity Watch being composed of hosts for the Infinity Stones. The Wolverine miniseries that followed up Infinity Wars (very odd choice btw), gave a hint of that and while I remember liking it, I don't remember it inspiring confidence in the idea. I do actually really enjoy that these new Infinity Watch characters are plucked from other pre-established stories. I much prefer that than entirely new characters created specifically for this event. It's a good use of continuity, and that's always a plus. The only thing that bothers me, just a little bit, is tha t Captain America's attitude here just feels slightly out of character. I was expecting more sympathy from him in multiple scenes, but he just doubled down on Overtime being a villain. That was a little bothersome. more

What was interesting here was that most of the issue you spend with Overtime and, so when it's time to see him against Cap and Black Widow, I can't help, but kind of want him to do what he wants to. Part of it is the fact that you are not presented with the why not? What I mean by that is the heroes really do not try their best to shows him the error of his way, especially Widow. Idk, if that was intentional or not, but it's there IMO. Apart of that the issue shows Overtime as a humane character, feeling remorse and with good set of morals, numerous times. He is really like most of us and for a normal person, his reaction and feelings are normal, even too reasonable IMO. Still I think that this issue would have been better, if the writer tr ied to stick to that idea more closely, making the whole issue about Overtime and showing Cap and Widows as antagonists, because what we got was kind of messy and not really clear IMO. Especially if it was done with a more distinct and creative art, that represent his internal feelings better. Don't get me wrong the art was quite great, even better than what this issue deserved and the action was cool, part of that is that the time stone is generally a really cool power to have. Still for a cap book, the art style is nothing new and makes the book blander, when it's already kind of bland. The art on the next story was great tho and it made the next really distinct and fun, more than the story actually was. The expressions, the angles, the coloring, the panels make this joy to look at and makes me feel a lot, despite it's simplicity of colors. I really cannot say how much I liked the art here and it's sad that the writing did not use it's powers, cos the story itself was not necessary and a lot of stuff the artist did, although awesome, was not supported in any way by the story. Probably the best thing about story, was the boxing match, because it shows us the semi-professional relationship between Nick Jr and Cap, plus again the art make me feel every punch and kind with it's masterful use of angles, panels and colors. But it does not shows us much more. I mean there were a few little things here and there, but ultimately it did not deliver any kind of specific relationship. After all it was just a back-up, so truthfully I did not mind it too much and just because of the art I'm ready to give 10s tbh. more

Cap and Black Widow try and fail to catch Overtime, the Time Stone Guy. The story's basically functional. The art is mighty rough. I like Overtime (I think he's positioned well for the event moving forward), I'm neutral on this Natasha, and I really kinda hate this Cap. The B strip was a nice spirit-lifter, but not enough to boost my rating much. "Stop blaming the gun!" Of all the wrong replies Cap could have given, that's nearly the wrongest.

a mediocre, bland crossover event. This doesnt have good art nor are the fight scenes visually enaging. Why is Infinite Destinies an event again?
