Captain America by Ta-Nehisi Coates Vol. 1: Winter in America by Ta-Nehisi Coates

2.0

So the problem with this book it’s a book of halfs the first half is dealing with Steve Rogers role in secret empire, a.k.a. Hydra Cap and the second half is basically setting up who is the villain is and the new spy story that Captain America is involved in I understand they have to deal with it, but I’d rather not have to think about Hydra Cap. And while the set up was potentially interesting. It didn’t lead to a hook that would keep me engaged and want to keep going. I’ve come to realize I don’t care for the single issue. That’s basically the background information dump about the villain/antagonist I would rather have it spaced out like a breadcrumb Trail that way I actually care instead of it being a mysterious woman who I have no context about and then you immediately tell me all about their background Space it out. That being said, this is done very competently the art looks good, and Ta Nehisi Coates didn’t fall into the usual traps a non comic book writer would have, but I just didn’t click with this book.
