This comic gave me pre-serum Steve and that's all I need. Oh, man, he's 100 pounds of piss and vinegar and I love every ounce of it.

Also, beginning to understand why Sharon Carter is awesome.

This was really terrible. Not only are the characters completely utterly bland, the art is cringe-worthy and the dialogue laughable, with weirdly emphasized words, which makes for some hilarious times if you read it aloud. So while I'll always have fond memories and some inside jokes because of this, I still think it's pretty awful.

Sophomore slump? I loved the first volume, but this floated out of my brain as soon as I finished.

Brubaker had been on the character for a long time prior to this series restart at #1, and I think maybe that's starting to show here.

We talked about this series over on Comic Book Coffee Break:

A solid volume.

I'm a sucker for the stories centered around Steve's unshakeable faith. The thing about Brubaker, he always likes to challenge that. In a good way, mind you. Here, we get a glimpse of the little guy: pre-serum Steve. Once again, Brubaker uses Cap's cast really well. There's a pretty solid cameo from my favorite Avenger, Iron Man. I love when writers remember that Steve and Tony are friends. Tony does everything in his power to help Steve out here. Hawkeye and Sam also have pretty great roles, as well. Sharon is here again, too.

The art is just spectacular. All the awards to Mr. Davis on this one.

A recommend if you're looking for a solid Cap book.
