These two issues continue the storyline focused on the Red Skull that began in the last issue and serves as a gap-filler between the last biweekly summer story, "The Superia Stratagem," and the line-wide crossover "Operation Galactic Storm" that starts in issue #398. The story itself is underwhelming, and much of these two issues deals... Continue Reading →
This is a fun graphic novel with a combined Avengers team made up of East Coast and West Coast members, working alongside the mutant team Freedom Force to combat a prison break led by Venom and featuring a huge number of super-criminals. (I think this is the first time Captain America has met Venom, no?)... Continue Reading →
These two issues complete the "Superia Stratagem" storyline that began in issue #387, when Diamondback and her friends were abducted from her Brooklyn home and taken to the cruise ship of Superia, who had gathered a motley crew of female supervillains for nefarious purposes. At the end of the last issue, Captain America and Paladin... Continue Reading →
These two issues of Avengers continue the biweekly story "The Collection Obsession" that began in issues #334-335, at the end of which Captain America and the rest of the team had been defeated by the Brethren, who had until recently been prisoners of the Collector, and their leader Thane Ector, who absconded with Sersi as...

These two issues of Captain America continue "The Superia Stratagem," the twice-monthly story that began in issue #387, in which Captain America and Paladin are looking for Diamondback and her friends, who were abducted from her Brooklyn home and taken to a cruise ship full of women supervillains. Also, Cap reconnects with Daredevil in an... Continue Reading →
This incredible six-part miniseries from the second half of 1991 was the inspiration behind the last two Avengers films, Infinity War and Endgame, especially Thanos's infamous snap (seen in the middle of the first issue of the series rather than the halfway point). Captain America's role in this story is limited but important—he is not... Continue Reading →
These two issues launch "The Collection Obsession," a six-part biweekly storyline (much like "The Superia Stratagem" in Captain America that started this month) that features a new threat from beyond the stars, Thane Ector (seen above), who is a large enough threat that the Watcher does that think he's not supposed to do (but often...

This annual was the third and final installment (after 1991's Daredevil and Punisher annuals) in "The Von Strucker Gambit," in which Baron von Strucker sends three bounty hunters to track three superhuman agents who escaped from Hydra after being subject to experimental treatments. Captain America does not appear in either of the first two parts... Continue Reading →
This issue wraps up the story begun in the last issue, wherein Captain America fought with domestic terror group the Watchdogs, who unbeknownst to him have recruited his old neighbor Mike Farrel. As revealed on the cover, we also invite John Walker, aka USAgent, to the party, which also includes Cap's ex-fiancée Bernie Rosenthal, back... Continue Reading →
This is the first part of a two-issue storyline about one of Captain America's former neighbors in Brooklyn, who now runs with a new crew, some of whom you can see on the cover—and the romantic machinations of a certain Ms. Bernie Rosenthal continue. The issue begins with the Watchdogs—the right-wing extremist group that debuted... Continue Reading →
