Part 3 of “POWERLESS” Madbomb riots in Manhattan! The Serpent Squad! Steve Rogers losing faith in himself!
It's a rare book that fires on all cylinders: plot, theme, pacing, words, pencils, inks and color; but this one is firing on all of them. This is a solid team on a solid title. Check it out. Read Full Review
Alan Davis' art is a major part of the reason for the classic, old-school feel of the arc. But in this case, "old-school" is anything but a derogatory term. Davis is still a master draftsman and storyteller, qualities that far outweigh little niggling concerns like the dated hairstyles some characters sport. If nothing else, Captain America Vol. 6 has been a pretty book from the start. Read Full Review
Not feeling Davis' cover art and it primarily seems to be composition more than style but still feels a step up from McNiven's take. Read Full Review
I feel like I missed a page (or three) as Sharon comes to the conclusion of what villain is behind Cap's regression back to Skinny Steve Rogers. It's possible Cobra let this slip off-panel in Sharon's interrogation but I just don't see him knowing that much of the operation. Worth a look. Read Full Review
This book was really hard to review, as I usually love Brubaker's work. However, the art was just not up to par, and it really made the narrative suffer. I couldn't help but think over and over at how 90's this title looked, from Cap to Falcon to Sharon to everyone; that isn't a good thing, ladies and gentlemen. Read Full Review
Those last couple pages were amazingly well written. Sharon realizes the only way to help Steve is too plug in Machinesmith, so she activates the jet’s self destruct sequence and locks the jet down so if things go wrong, Machinesmith can’t escape. Unfortunately, it definitely looks like things are going to go wrong. Before you read this issue, make sure you have read Steve Rogers: Super Soldier 1-4.
