Cap is a man out of time again and we follow him readjusting to life after spending 11 years in Dimension Z, but in reality only an hour on Earth-616. Cap is again placed among his friends, but feels distant and disconnected. Even his interactions with Falcon are stressed. I loved the character of Nuke and was genuinely saddened by his end. Remender again did a great job writing his dialogue. Some interesting critiques of American colonialism here. And I love Cap's critical and realistic patriotism. This is Cap at his best, disillusioned with the weakness he sees in the country he loves but still fighting to make her better. Knocked off one star because it felt a little unsure of itself at times and wandered a bit. Also no more characterization of Jet Black, she seems very background and unnecessary right now.

This was like really good omg!
I loved this one as we see Cap dealing with the various Ptsd experiences he had of losing his son and beloved and well Sam is here to help and then they get a call to stop NUKE and we see Agent Simpson and his troubled past and motives and how Cap helps him or does he and how Sam stops him and also makes some bold choices that will define his run as Cap (later duh). And its a great moment for Steve too as we see the toll the previous stories took on him and I like how Remender doesn't just brush it away as a one-off thing!
And then the big revelation of whose behind it: IRON NAIL! The chinese socialist and well we see his motivations and origins and getting revenge on SHIELD and stopping Cap and the man controlling Nuke and what he plans to do next to Cap which will be interesting to read about! Its a great storyline and I love it, the art was so much better here and made the writing (which was already great) even better!

Captain America is still in a whirl after spending some years in Dimension Z. He's got to fight Nuke, a disgruntled grunt looking to punish anyone who makes America look bad. Can Captain America beat this man soldier to soldier? An alright story, but not completely engaging.

There is a moment towards the end of this collection that I think makes reading the entire volume worth it. Cap has faced down with Nuke and he’s on the ground and he reasons with Nuke. Everything he says reminds me why I like Cap as a character and why I read Captain America’s comics.
I won’t say this is the best Captain comic I’ve read but it’s not bad, I rather enjoyed it. Especially because it continues to play on the dimension Z storyline which I liked.
Worth a read.

I loved Cap's emotional arc, but I have a lot of problems with the villains in this one.
