This issue continues the current storyline, begun in the last post, in which the Red Skull has acquired the power of a Cosmic Cube and is using it to attempt to steal the universal information held in Galactus' ship, in the hopes of rendering him both omnipotent and omniscient. Captain America and Sharon Carter stand... Continue Reading →
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 →
This annual sees Captain America and Iron Man team up to face some familiar foes, as seen on the cover above, ending up in one of their classic disagreements and previewing arguments they will make during the Civil War in a few years' time. The issue opens with the two heroes arrive on an island,... 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 →
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 →
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 two issues comprise the first half of the "Man without a Country" storyline, the first time in years that our hero has found himself on the wrong side of the United States government. At the end of the first "Secret Empire" storyline, Steve Rogers resigned the Captain America identity out of disgust with his... Continue Reading →
This second issue of Mark Waid and Ron Garney's first extended storyline on Captain America finds our hero working very uncomfortably alongside his greatest foe, the Red Skull, and his former love, Sharon Carter, who he (and we) had believed dead since issue #237—and we learn exactly how she has been alive all this time...

"Where is Captain America?" is the question that leads off Mark Waid and Ron Garney's first run on this title, following Mark Gruenwald's 137-issue run that ended last month. The conclusion of that issue will be recapped below, so for now I'll just say that this issue is more of a tribute to Captain America,... Continue Reading →
