This three-part Cable story sees Captain America and several other Avengers helping the mutant from the future battle the Harbinger (not her), who is threatening to destroy humanity for his master, Apocalypse. Our heroes don't show up until the very end of issue #66, as the Harbinger makes his mission clear while apparently having Cable... Continue Reading →
These issues are not the most significant, but do include some interesting moments with the Scarlet Witch challenging Captain America's leadership—and speaking of whom, Cap doesn't even appear in issue #13, and no one knows why except the editor (and us). Cap is back by issue #14, most of which deals with the Beast's return to... Continue Reading →
Harvey Dent couldn't have planned this any better: These two issues contain a pair of two-part stories (instead of having each story complete in its own issue, for some reason), plus a third one in the second issue that is concluded in the next issue, alongside a self-contained story. (Got it?) Here, we'll present the... Continue Reading →
This maxi-series is a wide ride through the history of the Avengers and the Marvel Universe as a whole. As with most event series, even those focusing on the Avengers, Captain America plays a significant yet limited role, so my discussion of his ethically relevant moments will be sporadic, and will definitely not do justice...

This issue of Avengers brings the team into conflict with the Thunderbolts for the first time since the team of villains broke with Baron Zemo and tried to go straight (for real), and also reunites them with Hawkeye for the first time since he walked out on the team at the end of Avengers #9. As... Continue Reading →
These two issues of Avengers begin with a celebration of the 35th anniversary of the team's founding (in September 1963's Avengers #1) and end of the somber return of some fallen colleagues, followed by a grab-bag of minor appearances of Captain America and the team across the Marvel Universe. (Even though the cover to #10... Continue Reading →
These issues introduce two new heroes (one of whom is prominent on the cover to issue #8 above) as well as a threat who is new to the Avengers (but well known to the X-Men, Spider-Man, and Black Panther), and see one of their own leave the team. After opening with a charming scene of... Continue Reading →
The annual featuring the Avengers and the Justice League of America Squadron Supreme follows up on their "tense" team-up in Avengers #5-6 and offers a good old-fashioned "split into smaller teams to defeat the Big Bad's threat" story, while the Silver Surfer/Thor Annual from around the same time features one page with the Avengers, with... Continue Reading →
These two issues are half of the "Live Kree or Die!" crossover that begins in Iron Man #7 and also includes Quicksilver #10 (although Captain America appears in neither). The Kree are presumably jealous of the recent attention the Skrulls have received in recent issue of Captain America, so a faction called—I am not kidding—the... Continue Reading →
Finally, a new Thor series following "Heroes Return," and the first #1 issue of Thor ever (because his original title took over the numbering of Journey into Mystery with #126 and he didn't get his own "Heroes Reborn" title). As we know, Thor was delayed coming back to the 616 with the gang after he... Continue Reading →
