The early 1950s: the age of McCarthyism and the Cold War. Jeff Mace finally feels comfortable as Captain America, and loves working with his new partner, Golden Girl, but he notices that they are called on only to deal with common criminals, not world threats. Can it be that the American government doesn't trust Captain America? As the world changes around him and allies become enemies, Jeff Mace learns the full responsibilities of being Captain America and the true meaning of being a patriot.

    This is a 4 issues limited series but I'll put here the review for the whole book. Jeffrey Mace really is an interesting character. Forced to take up the mantle after William Naslund dies, here we explore a little bit who really is the Patriot. Kesel does a fine job of creating a unique personality for the character, as well as interesting supporting characters all around him. I enjoyed exploring his insecurities throughout this book and how difficult it was for him adjusting to the Captain America role. The way he gives up his Patriot identity is crushingly sad and I liked the subtlety with which Kesel approached a very touching subject, something we don't see a lot of these days. I really didn't expect this to be so good.
