    I had quit reading Cap after the "Death Of" debacle which had me interested issue by issue and then came to a stupid conclusion. However this next series seemed to look pretty good, art wise and story wise, so I picked it up hoping that Mr.Brubaker would rise above the last story arc, and he did! Great Cap story with Shield, Hydra and a new enemy from Cap's past. Very enjoyable read!

    3.0 out of 5 stars A Decent Offering, But Is Brubaker Losing Interest?
    Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    As others have mentioned, this five-issue arc from the relaunched "Captain America" title represents a departure from the character's status quo of the last eight years. Writer Ed Brubaker's work on Steve Rogers has leaned heavily on the trappings of spy and conspiracy fiction, while this hardcover incorporates more outlandish, SF concepts from the stranger corners of the Marvel universe. As a fan of Jack Kirby's 1970s run on Cap, I have no problem with this new direction. As usual, Brubaker does a flawless job of integrating elements of Cap's past (in this case, the ridiculous Ameri-Droid) into a contemporary setting. His storytelling is aided by artist Steve McNiven and (especially) colorist Justin Ponsor, who provides a much brighter and colorful palate than had been featured in "Captain America" over the past several years; these lighter hues go a long way in helping the reader accept bizarre concepts like Jimmy Jupiter and his Dreamworld. Overall, however, I found this volume to be merely serviceable. Despite the addition of weird elements like Dreamworld, a good deal of this arc covers topics Brubaker (and other Cap writers) have already explored. How many times has Cap faced a revived enemy from WWII in the past few years alone? Even Bucky got to experience this trope in "The Man Without a Face". Similarly, Codename Bravo is a character type readers have seen many times before, most recently in the form of the resurrected 1950s anti-communist Cap. The end hints at the idea that Steve may be questioning his dedication to the American Dream, a story that, again, has been told time and again (Steve has given up the mantle of Cap many times - Nomad, The Captain, Man Without a Country, etc.). Obviously, only so many original stories can be told with a character as old as Captain America, but I get the feeling Brubaker is running out of things to say about the character. As a final comment, the art in the final issue shifts suddenly between McNiven and Guiseppe Camuncoli, who has a radically different art style. It makes for a jarring reading experience; it's too bad Marvel couldn't allow McNiven the extra time to complete the remaining few pages. Ultimately, this story is an entertaining yarn, but one that does not feature many surprises for long-time Cap fans.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Thoroughly Enjoyable
    Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    This was my first time reading a Captain America comic and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it! So that everyone knows, I read this on my Kindle and the artwork came across very clear and crisp. If there was any need for clarity, a quick double tap on the panel made everything zoom a bit.

    It's difficult for me to review this particular item because I'm unfamiliar with Superhero comics. I can say that the story kept me engrossed and I quickly moved on to the second volume. It was an easy jump from the movies to this particular storyline. I also liked the way each comic started off with a brief recap of what had happened up to that point. This was especially handy if I set it down for awhile, but I read it each time anyway.

    I realize I don't have a lot to say about this particular TP, but I CAN say that I would recommend it to any Cap fan or people who are looking for a good place to start after watching the first movie.

    The story was really well developed, with a basic pre knowledge of characters required (Nick Fury, Agent 13, DD Dugan), with a great spy feel to the book it crosses over to fantasy with always the Cap nostalgia/sense of duty struggle. Great, read it in 15 minutes from cover to cover.

    For Brubaker, this run is too mainstream, too light. His old runs (The Winter Soldier for instance) had a great mixture of history, drama, and action. Here, it's just the Hollywood version of Captain America. Rubbish dialogues, boring villains, no strong outlining story. Hope it'll pick up in the next volumes...

    Reviewed in France on February 19, 2012

    Au terme du cycle de cinq années ouvert avec 'Civil War', le re-launch de Steve Rogers sous la défroque de Captain America est complet avec ce premier HC regroupant les 5 premiers numéros du nouveau comic book 'Captain America' en cours de publication en France en ce début d'année 2012 dans le nouveau mensuel 'Avengers'.
    Au dessin, c'est justement le "vétéran" de 'Civil War' Steve McNiven que l'on retrouve, toujours excellent, notamment dans les scènes d'action. Il faut également signaler le remarquable travail de Justin Ponsor aux couleurs. Ed Brubaker, auteur dudit cycle de cinq années, reste fermement aux commandes pour les scénarios et textes. Un vrai "crack team" !
    Entouré de ses plus proches (parmi ceux qui ont survécu), que sont Sharon Carter, Nick Fury, Dum Dum Dugan et le Faucon, Rogers est confronté à un revenant au cours de la cérémonie d'inhumation de sa compagne des années de guerre, Peggy Carter. Ancien compagnon d'armes, ce revenant mu par la jalousie et le terrible impact sur sa santé mentale que lui a causé son sort, se montre particulièrement dangereux pour le monde actuel. Au passage, l'Hydra récupère une cause à défendre et le baron Zemo tire une nouvelle fois des ficelles dans la coulisse !
    C'est avec un Captain America finalement très classique qu'une nouvelle génération de lecteurs est invitée à faire connaissance, en l'occurrence pour une histoire solide - à défaut d'être totalement inouie -, proposée par des maîtres du genre.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Guter Einstieg mit Steigerungspotential
    Reviewed in Germany on February 5, 2012

    Alles auf Anfang: Mit dem vorliegenden Band "Captain America - Volume 1" beginnt Ed Brubaker seinen neuen Zyklus. Nachdem Brubaker bereits vor Jahren Captain America neues Leben eingehaucht hat, versucht er nun, dieses Kunststück zu wiederholen.

    Steve Rogers ist wieder zurück als Captain America und muss sich gleich mit einem alten verschollenen Mitstreiter aus dem Zweiten Weltkrieg auseinandersetzen, der jahrelang in einer surrealen, traumgleichen Zwischenwelt gefangen war und es nun auf Captain America abgesehen hat.

    Die Geschichte ist eine klassische Captain-America-Story, rasant erzählt, gespickt mit zahlreichen Actionenszenen, die einige Ideen bei Christopher Nolans "Inception" abgekupfert hat. Mit seiner neuen Reihe muss sich Brubaker nun an sich selbst messen lassen. Im alten Zyklus hatte er vor allem durch den Handlungsstrang rund um den Winter Soldier eine faszinierende, charakterliche Tiefe in die Reihe gebracht. Ob ihm dies erneut gelingt, muss sich noch zeigen. Der Start der neuen Reihe ist gelungen, wenngleich die Geschichte eher auf Action- statt auf Charaktermomente setzt. Ansonsten finden sich im Band die typischen Erzählmerkmale von Brubaker wieder: Brubaker springt zwischen den verschiedenen Zeit- und Erzählebenen hin und her und zwischen den Zeilen sind auch immer wieder politische Töne hörbar. Unter der rasanten Erzählweise leiden allerdings die Charaktere, die für Brubakers Verhältnisse ungewöhnlich oberflächlich bleiben. Selbst bei den neu eingeführten Figuren kommt der Gedanke auf: "Mh, hatten wir doch schon mal." Und schließlich kommt die Idee mit der surrealen Traumwelt ein wenig zu kurz. Dennoch ist die Geschichte spannend und eignet sich gut, um in die Captain-America-Reihe einzusteigen.

    Die Zeichnungen von Steve McNiven kann man gar nicht genug loben. Sein Stil lässt die Figuren immer wie Menschen aus einem Comic wirken und nicht wie Cartoonfiguren. McNiven schafft es zudem hervorragenden, den rasanten Erzählstil in dynamische Bilder umzusetzen.

    Insgesamt ein guter Start, der aber noch Luft nach oben hat.
