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 continues to deliver a layered and visually stunning exploration of what makes Steve Rogers a great hero, thanks to an amazing creative team. Miss Chris Evans as Cap? Read this comic. Want to get into Cap? Read this comic. Want to read a good comic? You get the idea. 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
Critics are off the mark here. Excellent issue.
This was absolutely phenomenal! Honestly this issue encompassed everything I love about captain america. I can't wait for the next issue
Very good! I like the way it's narrated and how we are taking our time across timelines and I'm happy that it takes more than 5 minutes to read. I can't stand my comics to be just art with 2 sentences and guys needlessly throwing punches for 10 pages. Jesus Saiz art is amazing. It has a clean and static feel to it that's less vibrant but the attention to details makes it a great fit.
This runs starting slow but you can tell we have a good payoff in store. Great art, good writing. Only downside is I would say this is a Cap fans comic.
Only 2 issues in and this is the best Captain America book since Brubaker's infamous run. I'm finally excited to read Marvel comics again after years of mostly mediocre stories thanks to books like this, FF, Daredevil, and Hulk.
Hops around a little bit but I am still engrossed
A good issue here and I think this story is finally going to pick up more steam with the next issue. From my perspective, it seems that this issue and the first one have been establishing Steve's past and building up how good of a person he is, which is something we should already know. Plus, they've been building up Asmoday/Travis as a big villain. Both issues have been good and entertaining reads, but I just hope Issue 3 adds a little more excitement to this story.
I like the story. I like the multiple timeline thing. It just could use a little more excitement.
