I didn't like this as much as I liked the first arc, but it's still very good. A big reason why is the art. I've never been a fan of Magno, they're just not for me.

I'm not sure why the critics seem so put off by this title. Is it wordy? Sure. But what's being said is usually pretty poignant, and when it's not, it's fairly breezy dialogue that doesn't feel forced. This arc is a near-classic sort of Captain America story. Nazis are bad; progress is good. I don't see the big misstep that I hear about in the reviews. One of the best aspects about the Captain Amemore
CAPTAIN AMERICA VS. THE EMISSARY!
It's a fight to the death as Captain America races to take down the Emissary before he destroys a peace rally - and Cap himself. But when physical might proves futile against the supernatural, will an assist from Doctor Strange be enough to turn the tide?

"The shield isn't what you think. It's not your symbol. It's theirs."
The shield is one of the most iconic images in the world. It stands for hope, justice and the protection of the innocent. It also holds a secret, undiscovered until now, that will change the way Steve Rogers views the 20th century...and how he chooses to fight in the 21st.
This era of Captain America was sorely overlooked. There's plenty to appreciate here.

This sequel series has much of the same issues as the first series. It's clear the writer has a very particular fan fiction they want to tell, and that's fine, but that fiction isn't built up properly and therefore comes across haphazard. There are good moments, but as a whole, I find it kind of a chore to read.
Thess confronts Cora's bullies but neither they-nor Cora-are what Thessally expected, and it affects her deeply to the point of being reckless.
But thankfully some unexpected help arrives for Thess, someone who can help get Cora out of harm's way!
Cora comes clean after a night spent together with Thess; her past is tied to the enemy in ways filled with the demonic and arcane, and it's too much for Thess to bear.
Thess's destructive power is dangerously out of control, with not much left of the boardwalk as Soren's gang approaches...
And with Thess keeping the mantle of the...
Thess feels betrayed when she discovers the truth of the mission she's been sent on, and blows off some steam in unwise ways, revealing more than she probably should have about herself.
But the gang and Anya have some information for Thess as well-things that will shed new light on Cora's path.
Being new to slaying doesn't mean that Thess likes being infantilized, especially by an over-protective demon named Anya, who's controlling at every turn.
But concerning Cora Devonshire-Thess's current crush-is there any validity to Anya's suspicion?
As she and Cora get closer, Thessaly's flippancy and resentment might just get th...
Thess is all grown up, having taken up the mantle as the new Slayer!
But with new responsibilities comes new enemies, and a mysterious clan will do anything to get to her, even if it means using her friends as bait.
