In this special 25th issue of Captain America, or should I say “The Daughters of Liberty”, we are gifted two stories. The Daughters of Liberty are trapped in Madripoor and it is up to Captain America and Sharon Carter to rescue them. However, that won’t be an east task as the reincarnated Red Skull is waiting for them.
The second story written by Anthony Falcone, has Captain America speaking at a funeral of a civilian friend. He delivers a riveting speech about what he stands for as well as America as a nation.
This is NOT a Captain America comic book plain and simple. What was once a promising run following the events of Secret Empire, has now turned into a boring story of Marvel’s attempt to launch an all female team through the Captain America title. Don’t get be wrong, there is absolutely nothing wrong with a female super hero team. As a matter of fact, that’s pretty awesome. However, I didn’t buy a Daughters of Liberty book. I hope this book can get back on track soon. Maybe a new writer and direction is in order. The second story was well done and despite no action, it absolutely felt like a Captain America book. The artwork continues to be the only highlight of this title as each panel is a delight to look at. I truly enjoy Ross’ artwork as well. This cover is stellar, which is what I come to expect from Alex Ross.
