    Saiz has a brilliant art style that works perfectly with the shifting time periods. The imagery has a classic comic feel while also elevating the visuals for the present. Read Full Review

    Captain America #2 was very informative and guides the reader in the direction of the series extremely well moving forward. Clarity was the key to this one as well as showing the true character of Steve Rogers even more so than Captain America. Straczynski's focus was to show readers one of Steve's true superpowers that didn't come with the serum and will possibly get him killed. However, all of this came at the expense of a rather uneventful and lackluster issue. Read Full Review

    Captain America #2 covers a lot of ground in three plots to weave Steve's actions in the past (before he was Captain America) with a growing evil in the present. That said, the overall reading experience is a little overstuffed, and the one plot concerning Steve in the present is the least interesting aspect of this comic. Read Full Review

    An overly wordy and long-winded issue continues to set up the story to come, though none of it was particularly compelling. Read Full Review

    The first issue of this new Captain America run left a lot of room for the series to grow, but somehow its sophomore effort is even worse. Read Full Review
