AXIS TIE-IN!
Once, Luke Cage was a man of the people... a champion of the community... a hero for everyone who needed help. But there's a new Luke Cage in town... and the only one he's helping is himself!
Plus: Captain America declares war - on the Mighty Avengers!
Whatever comes next, Captain America and the Mighty Avengers #2 dropped the biggest bomb on fans when you know the eventuality of this war between Avengers will get messy. Especially when the Avengers both have everything to gain and lose from making sure they are the sole heroes of Earth. Read Full Review
Captain America and the Mighty Avengers #2 is getting better slowly and over time will hopefully show the same level of quality previously seen in the book before it was relaunched. The writing and story are definitely improving and getting more enjoyable, but the whole tie-in to Axis really does a ton of damage unfortunately. Here's hoping the next issue continues with the improvements. Read Full Review
By focusing on the team as a whole, this issue feels much more dense, and the inverted characters of AXIS as much more out of place, which is actually kind of appropriate, isn't it? The minor threat of the Fast Five was a funny diversion without apologies or self-deprecation, making the Marvel universe feel more real, and the Mighty Avengers as truly down-to-earth kind of heroes. They are exactly the kind of heroes I like to read about, despite the inconsistent artwork, and I hope to not lose that as we work through the impact of AXIS. Read Full Review
While the issue is well written, its connection to the AXIS event feels forced, despite being better than some of the other tie-ins. It does feel like Al Ewing really does enjoy writing these characters and has good plans for the series, if only we can get the AXIS event out of the way and get on with the real story that is trying to be told.

The story is improving and already getting me hooked up.
Ok. Ending was intriguing, but the rest was 90s style silliness.
