While
I read and enjoyed the first two volumes in this series, the
never-ending barrage of comics released each week made it impossible
to keep up with everything, so I dropped this title. My local library
has a ton of collected editions, so I grabbed Vols. 3-5 of this
series when I saw them. The price was right.
Remender
is a good writer, and while this isn't as good as Brubaker's run on
the title (what is?), it was still very enjoyable. Fast paced and
action packed, Remender manages to pack enough of the suspense and
intrigue which were the hallmark of Brubaker's run into his run.
Cap
is back after spending twelve years in Dimension Z. He was gone from
Earth only a few moments, but twelve years of his life were spent
there. Nuke is on a rampage, and Cap barely has a second to catch his
breath before the son of Nick Fury pushes him into action. A new
heavy, The Iron Nail, is revealed in this arc.
The
artwork is all decent, the writing is good, and there is no
unnecessary swearing. This would even be worth paying money to read.
