This issue is the first in a two-part conclusion to the story of Protocide, the victim of a botched incomplete Project Rebirth process that left him mentally unhinged, after which he was manipulated by his handlers into believing Captain America stole his legacy (as explained in the 2000 Annual). The issue opens with Cap reflecting... Continue Reading →
These two issues wrap up the battle with the evil internet service provider Parliamech that began in the last issue and finally brings Captain America face to face with Protocide (as seen in the second cover here). At the end of the last issue, Cap and the Falcon succumbed to gas in the Parliamech headquarters—a... Continue Reading →
This issue of Captain America presents the aftermath of the last three issues' adventure against Count Nefaria in the Savage Land, as Cap and Sharon Carter wrap up the mess while confronting their lingering romantic issues. Plus, in this month's Iron Man, we see Tony Stark flash back to a familiar training session with Steve... Continue Reading →
These issues complete Dan Jurgens' first story as the new writer on Captain America, alongside young but already veteran artist Andy Kubert, in which Captain America and the Falcon once again fight the vile forces of white supremacy, whose leader was revealed at the end of the last issue (and reiterated in the double splash...

With this issue we begin Dan Jurgens' run on Captain America, which will eventually close out volume #3 with issue #50 (all collected here). His run begins with a three-part storyline drawn by Andy Kubert, granting some visual continuity with the previous run written by Mark Waid, and it features not only Sam Wilson's Falcon,...

This issue, the penultimate in the current storyline which began in issue #14, is a unique entry in the Captain America canon, a time-travel story in which he dies a lot, but keeps coming back to fight for liberty and justice. (You may have seen this movie.) In the last issue, Cap leapt into the... 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...

In this post we see Captain America process the loss of his beloved shield in the last issue, while he also deals with the "Capmania" that broke out while he was "dead" for a year and which exploded when he returned. (Oh yeah, and Hydra too, again.) After a couple pages setting up Hydra's invasion... 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 →
