Sleek, effective, and refreshing in its simplicity, this is a commendable Marvel debut from writer Tini Howard as well as a simply great Captain America story because it touches on the core themes of the character's ethos with little muss or fuss. Read Full Review

If you like your Captain America tales with more period flair and a hefty dose of Nazi-punchin’, then the Captain America Annual #1 is the comic for you. Given a beating heart and fantastic characterization by Tini Howard and classic war comic visuals by a stocked roster of talented artists, inkers, and colorists, this annual cuts right to the core of what makes Captain America such a resonant character both then and now.

It is to the issue's credit and general cohesiveness that the various approaches all gel, even if the ending reads as abbreviated. Read Full Review

When all is said and done Captain America Annual #1 provides an interesting chapter to this developing storyline. Read Full Review

This issue wont change your life, but its definitely worth a read. A pleasant surprise from a writer I only know by reputation and an art team I couldnt quite wrap my head around working together well. A solid book all around. Read Full Review

Widow and Cap have fun banter, but the book feels less like a Cap book overall and more like an Avengers story. And quite frankly, an Avengers story that should have been told earlier considering the event in question happened in 2018. To go this route with the Annual is a bit odd, but Steve has some standout moments in the title. Read Full Review

I wish someone would snap their fingers and get rid of the infinity stones and the storylines. I'm writing this article squatted on the desk like Widow and I'll pop a wheelie while shouting the word loudly as I post it. 1 star Read Full Review

Great read, I wish I had more of this. Wonderful WW2 setting, I'd love a whole series about this.

A flashback story puts Cap back in his Nazi-punching glory days so he and Bucky can do retail life-saving for a trio of concentration camp escapees. It's got oodles of heart that make it a feel-good read, but the plot is mighty simple and the art looks like what it is: The bland compromise produced by an eight-man committee.

One keep-me-up-at-night question: Did Ms. Howard consider telling this story from the escapees' POV? If she decided not to, why not?

Better than the ongoing series but they just can’t seem to decide what to do with Cap these days.

Did not care for this at all. The writer needs to go back to writing for the Power Rangers. I'd have been happier if she'd focused more on the Romani woman, but obviously, she's one of the fangirls who desperately wants Cap to be gay, and I'm sick of it.

The only reason she's not getting a 1 is that anything Spencer did was far, far worse.

Eh? Clearly I had more important things to do than pay attention to an ill-mannered troll. Scraping the dogshit off the bottom of my shoe after a walk in the park ranks higher than you, dearest.
