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...

This amazing four-part miniseries—the first devoted solely to Captain America—is written by Fabian Nicieza and drawn by master of facial expressions Kevin Maguire, and elaborates significantly on Cap's earliest days, providing additional details and emotional weight to Steve Rogers' desire to serve his country, the Project Rebirth procedure and the training that preceded and followed...

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 →
This is a very curious little story, not least because it is, as far as I know, the only Captain America solo story written and drawn by none other than Steve Ditko. As you see from the covers above (front and back), the main stories from these two issues were part of "Weapon X," the... 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...

These two issues are the beginning of "The Superia Stratagem," a six-part story published biweekly over the next three months. It is... not great, but nonetheless we will have interesting things to highlight regarding Captain America's ethical behavior, more of them in the first two issues than in the rest (when we will have assorted...

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 →
As previewed at the end of the last issue as well as the covers above, these two issues of Avengers have Doctor Doom himself visiting the team, but this is no normal throw-down between capes, mainly owing to the purpose and motivation of Doom's visit. If that weren't enough, we get some minor Avengers appearances... Continue Reading →
