Before Captain America encountered the Avengers for the first time, he had a chance meeting with Sub Mariner. It was during that fateful encounter that Severs--the man who hunts him in the present--was born.
Meet the labcoat named Severs as he talks with his fellow scientist about his conquest with a beautiful woman and how he got her sister too. Talk about making a guy jealous. If you want a rehash of the Captain America story, it's all in this issue as the good Captain watches an old film that shows him being pulled out of a block of ice. It shows how Prince Namor came upon Cap. When Cap revives he finds his sidekick Bucky dead. There are others that reminisce about this period of time. Where this story is leading, I'm not too sure, because I haven't been keeping up with the continuity of Captain America...but, I must say I am a little curious. They show a glimpse of the undersea Kingdom of Lemuria and I hope Marvel does more on this kingdom, because I would love to see their take of legendary Lemuria. Read Full Review

Now I enjoyed how the book described Captain America's early moments after he emerged from the ice, and I'm always game for a tussle between Namor & Captain America, but this issue's untold chapter is far too obtuse & unfocused in what it's trying to show us for me to draw much e Read Full Review
