CIVIL WAR TIE-IN!
The first of a 3-part Civil War tie-in by Ed Brubaker and Mike Perkins!
While Cap has fallen into the conflict of the Civil War, in a clash with his government and his friends, the people close to him have suffered in their own ways. In Part One of The Drums of War- we take a look inside S.H.I.E.L.D., and how Cap's girlfriend Agent 13's life is torn apart as her divided loyalties are used against her by her superiors. Also, a new villain emerges, and the Red Skull begins to make himself known...
Captain America #22 was a filler issue; however it was the best of all the Civil War tie-in issues up to this point. I hope that the next issue is not a Civil War tie-in issue. I am eager to return to Brubaker's story which is infinitely more intriguing and complex than the Civil War storyline. Read Full Review
Brubaker's writing remains as strong and consistent as ever. But that's divorced from the fact that we've gone ridiculously off-course. Read Full Review
While the Civil War series itself is awful, the tie-ins are mostly great. This issue was one of the better Civil War tie-ins yet one of the worst Captain America issues. Civil War is interesting but the story Brubaker was telling before Civil War was much more interesting
