The final issue of West Coast Avengers (or Avengers West Coast, if you're so inclined) sees the team calling it a day—not entirely voluntarily, though. And as you may have guessed based on the subtle hints on the cover, this does not sit well with some of its members, most of whom immediately make plans... Continue Reading →
This miniseries is notable for several reasons: It brings the "Avengers Prime" (Captain America, Iron Man, and Thor) with their version 2.0 counterparts (USAgent, War Machine, and Thunderstrike) together as a group for the first time; we are introduced to Alioth, who was featured in the Disney+ Loki series alongside Ravonna Renslayer and Kang; and...

These two issues continue the storyline that started in issue #411, in which Captain America, Falcon, and Diamondback infiltrated an illegal weapons expo on AIM Island to find Rachel's old foe Snapdragon, whom Rachel eventually killed in the last issue (unbeknownst to Cap). The current issues take us around the world, first to Wakanda and... Continue Reading →
This post is a bit of an oddball, covering two multi-issue guest appearances of Captain America, neither of them greatly significant or fitting into the regular Captain America posts (especially with Cap absent from Avengers for a while). But Guardians of the Galaxy has some nice moments between Cap and an admirer, and Excalibur... well,... Continue Reading →
This month sees the beginning of Infinity War, the sequel miniseries to Infinity Gauntlet, which inspired the film Avengers: Infinity War. (Got it?) We'll do this one a couple issues at a time rather than all at once, for two reasons: Captain America appears more regularly (although still not a lot) throughout the miniseries, and...

This issue of Captain America serves as a coda to the "Operation: Galactic Storm" event that started in issue #398 and ended in last month's Avengers #347. It's also one of the most significant comics we've covered so far at this blog—and if you've been following along in recent posts, you can guess why. After... Continue Reading →
As of this supersized issue of Avengers we arrive at the conclusion of the "Operation: Galactic Storm" event, and it does not disappoint—except for Captain America, who is very disappointed in the decisions taken by some of his fellow Avengers, which will have serious consequences for years to come (starting with next month's Captain America...

This low-key anniversary issue of Captain America manages to use the main story to pay tribute to the title character and also continue the larger storyline in which this issue fell. There are two other stories in the bonus-sized issue, neither featuring Cap; our hero does, however, appear briefly in this month's issue of Namor... Continue Reading →
"Operation: Galactic Storm" marches on with two more installments featuring Captain America, both featuring the subset of the team (including Cap and Iron Man) that is trying to talk to the Kree leadership in hopes of defusing the conflict between them and the Shi'ar that threatens Earth's sun. In Avengers #346, Cap strikes a very... Continue Reading →
This issue launches the second monthly round of "Operation: Galactic Storm," a storyline that began in the last issue and, amidst all the high-stakes outer-space action, gradually reveals some ethical disagreements between Captain America and his fellow Avengers, especially Iron Man. Speaking of Tony, in our last installment, he surrendered to the Kree on behalf... Continue Reading →
