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 three-part story in Deadpool's first ongoing series is... something. I'm not going to worry about putting all of this into context, because Captain America is just as clueless through these comics as I am, but I will do my best. Issue #23 ends with the gentleman below, Dixon of the intergalactic law firm of... Continue Reading →
With this issue we begin a new storyline, this one dealing with a madness that seems to afflict a very particular group of people... but you wouldn't know this from the cover, which highlights Captain America's glowy new best friend. The story starts out with Sharon Carter talking to a police detective about a superstar... Continue Reading →
As if one #1 issue for Captain America weren't enough in 1998, we have another: Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty #1, a new series exploring the details of Cap's past (and sometimes his near future), launched by Mark Waid and Ron Garney, the team that successfully began volume 3 of Captain America as part of...

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 →
This post wraps up the "Power and Glory" storyline in which Skrulls have encouraged and magnified the "Capmania" that preceded our hero's return from the "Heroes Reborn" universe. This plan culminated in his capture and replacement by the Skrull leader, who then instilled fear and chaos among the American people, lying to them about a... Continue Reading →
These two issues comprise the middle of a four-part storyline in Marvel Team-Up featuring Namor, the second of which features Captain America (with a brief appearance by him in the next). The story actually began in issue #6 in a team-up with Spider-Man, which was Namor's first appearance in the 616 Universe since he returned... Continue Reading →
This issue sees Captain America deal with the continuing Hydra threat, the return of Batroc the Leaper, and the growing "Capmania" around him since returning from the "Heroes Reborn" world. Along for the ride is Cap's favorite pal, Hawkeye... is he just one more thing Cap has to deal with? We open on a record... Continue Reading →
Coming at the halfway point of the "Heroes Reborn" period, his issue serves as a reset of sorts for Captain America himself, as we'll see in the story below, and behind the scenes as well, as responsibility for the title changes hands within Image Comics from Rob Liefeld's Extreme Studios to Jim Lee's Wildstorm. Most... Continue Reading →
These four issues continue the "Heroes Reborn" run of Captain America, the background of which was reviewed in the post on the first issue. There, following the final battle with Onslaught, we meet Steve Rogers in a new reality, living in Philadelphia with a wife Peggy and a son Rick, and with no memory of... Continue Reading →
