Nov 19, 2004The Captain America, Volume Five, Number One is more of the same. More of the muddled, negative and frustrated Captain America struggling with the same foes and inner turmoil. While this is his third number one issue in six years, its still the same old, same old. Read Full Review

Critics are Morons. This series finally embraces change and gives us a Captain America of 2004 or whatever it was. Hes modern and this story is something Cap writers will try to recapture

This entire run is an amazing read and is hauntingly forward thinking for the day it was written reading this now in 2021. Brubaker is a master storyteller and I wish I had read this all sooner.
