The 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
Captain America is supposed to represent the hope and optimism of the USA. He's supposed to make us believe that the USA can be the good guy even when evidence to the contrary keeps presenting itself. This fifth or sixth relaunch is simply not Captain America. Read Full Review
Brubaker and Epting deliver a perfect opening issue with wonderful art and no writing start. I was extremely interested from start to finish and their is really nothing wrong about this issue. It’s tremendous!
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
Nearly perfect firt issue, presenting Cap's state of mind very well, and subverting your expectation at the end
Man critics of the day were harsh!
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.
This rating is for Ed Brubaker's run from #1 to #21
