This issue leads off a four-issue search for Captain America's former partner, Sam Wilson (aka the Falcon), but not before some soul-searching on the part of the Sentinel of Liberty... with help from an unlikely source. (Let's just say that when you need advice from this guy, you're know you're in trouble.) Our story opens... Continue Reading →
These four issues focus heavily on other heroes, so there is little Captain America content at all (much less ethically interesting content), but there is other material of interest concerning the other characters and history of the day, so full speed ahead! Issue #34 begins with the Invaders receiving distressing news about a colleague and... Continue Reading →
These three issues of Daredevil feature Captain America alongside the Avengers—including the Black Widow, who reunites with her old flame Daredevil while he's having some issues of his own (as he often does). Cap's involvement is scant but surprisingly significant, and if this Winghead post gets you interested in Hornhead, all the better! (I'll link... Continue Reading →
These two issues shift from the "Who Is Steve Rogers?" storyline that concluded in the last issue and launches into "Am I Still Captain America?" beginning from that issue's cliffhanger ending: Cap's super-soldier serum was apparently neutralized, leaving him no longer a perfect physical specimen, but rather the original scrawny Steve Rogers, as we see...

In this issue, we finally learn the secrets of what is supposed to have been Steve Rogers's life before he underwent Project Rebirth, which we later learn are false details, explained away in issue #247 and replaced in issue #255 by the now-familiar ones. This issue starts with the aftermath from the last, a horrific... Continue Reading →
These two issues introduce a familiar face to the World War II era: the mighty Thor, visiting Midgard (Earth) as he had been doing for centuries, but rarely this close to his eventual banishment there in the form of Dr. Donald Blake in August 1962's Journey into Mystery #83. We also meet another familiar face—albeit... Continue Reading →
This second of three team-ups of Captain America and the Thing in the pages of Marvel Two-in-One is no less wild than their first (in 1974's issues #4-5), but it does have more meaningful content relevant to Cap's ethics (if somewhat dodgy at times, as we shall see). We'll skip the opening one-page splash of... Continue Reading →
This post covers the last four issues of the Korvac Saga, in which Captain America plays a small very role; the next issue of Avengers and an annual, in which he is marginally more important; and two issues of Iron Man featuring Cap with the Avengers, in which... well you get the idea. The relevant... Continue Reading →
These two issues of Captain America are oddly related: Only the first continues the current "Who Is Steve Rogers?" storyline, while the second is a fill-in which also deals with confused identity (which must have been even more confusing for readers at the time). On the bright side, the fill-in also features the first cover... Continue Reading →
