Captain America #36, Avengers #34-35, Thunderbolts #44, Maximum Security #1 and #3, and Iron Fist/Wolverine #2-4 (November 2000-February 2001)

This is another "grab-bag" post with assorted isolated panels from minor appearances of Captain America, but with one big difference: it includes issues of Captain America and Avengers alongside an issue of Thunderbolts and two thirds of the Maximum Security miniseries. The first two issues we'll cover are a crossover between Thunderbolts and Avengers that draws Cap back... Continue Reading →

Captain America Annual 2000

Unlike some annuals that contain standalone stories, Captain America Annual 2000 is a direct continuation of the storyline from Captain America #35, in which Captain America faced Protocide, who we know (and Cap learns in this issue) was the victim of a botched application of the Project Rebirth treatment. Although this story disrupts the status... Continue Reading →

Captain America #34-35 (October-November 2000)

These two issues wrap up the battle with the evil internet service provider Parliamech that began in the last issue and finally brings Captain America face to face with Protocide (as seen in the second cover here). At the end of the last issue, Cap and the Falcon succumbed to gas in the Parliamech headquarters—a... Continue Reading →

Captain America #33 and Spider-Woman #15 (September 2000)

With this issue, we welcome the Falcon back to the title and meet a very modern (circa 2000) threat, all while building up to Captain America's confrontation with the starry-eyed fella behind him on the cover, who was introduced behind the scenes in issue #28 and will receive the spotlight in the upcoming annual. (We'll... Continue Reading →

Captain America #32 (August 2000)

This issue takes a break from the ongoing storyline to tell a wonderfully poignant story of courage and heroism amidst the horrors of war, written by current writer Dan Jurgens and penciled and inked by Jerry Ordway, one of my favorites going back to All-Star Squadron, my favorite comic when I was a kid. (Recently,... Continue Reading →

Captain America #31 and Iron Man #30 (July 2000)

This issue of Captain America presents the aftermath of the last three issues' adventure against Count Nefaria in the Savage Land, as Cap and Sharon Carter wrap up the mess while confronting their lingering romantic issues. Plus, in this month's Iron Man, we see Tony Stark flash back to a familiar training session with Steve... Continue Reading →

Avengers #27 (April 2000) and Avengers Annual 2000

The new story in this issue of Avengers—alongside several reprints, in a conscious callback to the "100-Page Giants" published by DC Comics in the 1970s and again in conjunction with Walmart more recently—sees Captain America return briefly to the team for the Changing of the Roster, a time-honored tradition going back to the original Avengers #16...

Captain America #28-30 (April-June 2000)

These three issues see Captain America return to the Savage Land in search of Sharon Carter, where he has a grand adventure against an old foe. Much of the swashbuckling action is missing below, but there are more enough interesting character moments—and a bit of old-fashioned romance—to keep us entertained in this extra-long post. When...

Fantastic Four #26-28 (February-April 2000)

No, you didn't access my Fantastic Four blog, Here's the Thing..., by accident. Captain America does appear alongside the Avengers in these three issues of Fantastic Four, but not in any way central in the main storyline, which I will try to summarize enough to make sense of Cap's involvement. (It will be quite a... Continue Reading →

Captain America #26-27 and Hulk #11 (February-March 2000)

These issues complete Dan Jurgens' first story as the new writer on Captain America, alongside young but already veteran artist Andy Kubert, in which Captain America and the Falcon once again fight the vile forces of white supremacy, whose leader was revealed at the end of the last issue (and reiterated in the double splash...
