I really hope that when the mini-series proper debuts, that "Captain America: White" is up to Loeb and Sale's higher standards that I've come to expect. The two of them together so often produce real works of beauty. It's not a debut for the ages, that's for certain. Read Full Review

If the previous Blue/Gray/Yellow limited series came out year after year, then between Hulk and Cap we have a 4 year gap. What's even more funny is that fans waited for another 7 years before they could finally see the next issue... And I don't understand how Tim Sale's art can be that much simpler and careless here, than it was back in 2002... I mean, Tim was gorgeous and spectacular in the previous books, but here it's just... like something is missing. I'm curious of what was after 7 years, I never read White before. At first I thought that White was the earliest one, but no, quite the contrary!

The story piece in this issue was kinda too simple and short in my taste. For now it's significantly weaker, than the previous books, but still not bad. This is a fine beginning, but not many events are here and for now I don't really see the idea behind this. So, Cap is sad over Bucky's death? He actually must've been already come alive as Winter Soldier in 2005 if I remember it right. So for now I see it only as another flashback, not origin story actually, because we already see Steve as Cap and this is definitely more about Bucky. I don't have anything against it.

Also the title... Why white? I guess, not black indeed, but... For every series the color meant something. Because in English colors do mean something else. Blue is for sadness, yellow is for fear, gray is for gloom and white... Maybe innocence? At least that what comes in my mind if I actually remember that it's about a teenage boy sidekick. Yeah, I'll stick to this version. Maybe it was in some official interviews and materials, but I'm too lazy to read them. more
