People really hate Rememder's run on Cap and I don't know why. Yes, it's very different from Brubaker's run, but it's still true to Cap's character. In this volume we really see Cap get torn apart emotionally, which allows Remender to really get down to the emotional stakes of what happened in Dimension Z. Instead of being a primarily physical threat, this story is an emotional threat. I loved the character of Dr. Mindbubble, a funny, LSD infused baddy. I just wish he had been around a little longer. There's a little more exploration of Jet Black but she still feels underdeveloped and background. Can't wait to read the last volume and see how Remender wraps up the story of Steve Rogers as Cap.

This was fun!
We see whatever Jet Black is upto and well she meets Red Skull and yep it ties perfectly with his Uncanny Avengers run where the latter is the villain and I love that tie in like what will she choose and then we pick up with Cap learning about the NUKE devastation and people lost here, then comes Iron Nail as he frees Dr Mindbubble and well the psychedelic issue is fun too as we see the GUNGNIR weapon being turned loose on the general population and the politics of it all as there is fight and devastation on all sides and its epic and with Cap battling Iron Nail in his dragon form and will he be able to stop him? But at what cost?
Its a terrific volume and sure connects all the previous volume storylines in this epic story and I love the way he fleshes out the villains and also shows the gray sides of SHIELD and showing that even they are not too innocent and the fight here and there and the massive change in status quo here changes so many things for Steve and others involved. Plus Sam's ascendancy sort of continues! Its really a great read and pays off so many issues worth of setting this epic story and forces the reader to ask a lot of question of the real world too!

This volume is the weakest in this run of Captain America. Things come out of nowhere and the villains are weak. Dialogue is choppy and it was tough to get through.
The thing I liked the most about it was the last issue in this volume which ages Cap, -and has a very fitting moment for Cap. Though if you look at it any farther and remember the rest of the volume that surrounds it, the fun is drained from it.
Wouldn’t recommend.

Still don't love the villains, but the emotional arc is still strong, and I'm glad to finally know how Cap an old man.
