Captain America #20 is another solid issue of Rick Remender's deconstruction of Steve Rogers. Rick's original take on the character is human and ever fascinating. This arc is building to a nice crescendo and it's hard to pass up Nic Klein and Dean White art. Read Full Review

The issue is a nice mash-up of the different styles of Remender himself, too. There's the solid action and skill with putting his protagonists through personal hells that he showed in X-Force. There's also some of his nutty sic-fi and sociopolitical commentary that you find in something like Black Science. The result is old school super-hero bonkers action with a modern twist. That's not for everybody, but this reader finds himself enjoying the ride. If there's a downfall to a more classical approach, it's predictability, but this issue mostly dodges that bullet. The final page shows where this story is going to go, and while I think it's maybe a little too silly, it also brings into the story a threat that is maybe one of the top four or five classic comic book threats. I laughed when I saw it, but the laughter for me was not without warmth. I look forward to see how this all going to turn out. Read Full Review
