I love the epic feel of this story with NO crossovers, just great storytelling.
Posted by tdog on 04/14/08 at 09:19 PMI hear it will crossover with Invasion. *sigh* o well.
Posted by jstump on 04/15/08 at 12:43 AMWell I caught up in trades and can't wait to start in issues
Posted by SmokMnky on 04/15/08 at 01:11 AMIt's not like it didn't crossover with CIVIL WAR. It came away pretty unscathed form that. Um, well, I mean, Steve was killed, but otherwise it was unscathed...
And the infamous CAPTAIN AMERICA #10 which was a HOUSE OF M crossover!
Posted by conor on 04/15/08 at 01:32 AMJeez another early review!
It's true this book has been in crossovers before. It won't be bad the other ones weren't at all.
Posted by jstump on 04/15/08 at 06:20 AMHmm...every month this comes out, a special excitement grips me. I can't wait.
Posted by Neb on 04/15/08 at 03:43 PMDidnt Barton looka a bit... retarded, and Bucky a bit bulky?
Other than that, great as usual.
Posted by Joppe on 04/16/08 at 04:17 PMOh lord, no spoilers here but, WOW, they are toying with us in this issue!
Posted by StumblesMcStompersmash on 04/16/08 at 05:25 PMSo here's my question -- what does the cover have to do with this issue? Who's the guy reflecting in Cap's shield shooting at Cap?
Posted by cable77 on 04/16/08 at 10:25 PMWhat a consistently great comic. It goes and goes and goes at the hightest level.
Posted by astyak on 04/16/08 at 11:43 PMBest issue ever. For realz, yo.
Will right a real review at some point, maybe, but it would possibly just be me typing AWESOME a lot.

Way too many covers these days have nothing to do with the interior of the book. Daredevil's the same wayfor instance. More than once I've picked up the same book twice because of this "iconic" image bullshit.
Posted by MikeFarley on 04/17/08 at 12:31 PMI've been on board since issue one and love this title (even if I still find the art wonky at times) but I feel like they could've essentially taken the last page of this issue and slapped it on the end of last issue and been just fine. A good issue, as always, but not a great one.
Posted by Dante on 04/17/08 at 09:17 PM^Yeah, you're right about the last two endings. I would have liked it if we heard some more of Skull & Faustus's plans before Sharon found the clone. I thought showing the clone in the tank at the end of last issue was a bit pointless.
Still a great issue. Before issue 25 last year I was never really a Cap fan, now this is basically my favorite Marvel series by a mile. Each issue really does read like the next chapter in a huge novel. I don't know how long this team is going to be on the book, but this has turned into one of the best runs in the last few decades.
Posted by flapjaxx on 04/18/08 at 08:26 AMIt can be tough havin Cap comin thru the subscription service. Hard not to read the posts and reviews on it while I'm waiting for it to arrive. So much praise'd like to make me sick. Must admit that atleast it earned it, aside from the art, which isn't bad, just not my thing.
Posted by FACE on 04/19/08 at 12:49 PMIt's not a clone... I think I figured it out.
So Faustus' line where he tells Zola "You wouldn't have him if it wasn't for me" makes total sense. Somehow, Faustus kept him alive and on ice all this time.
Posted by rochvail on 04/20/08 at 02:37 PMYeah, that's what I think, too.
Posted by Tork on 04/20/08 at 09:09 PMI loved the scene with Hawkeye. He comes in, hot tempered and full of righteous indignation just like he realistically would and then Bucky just sort of says "Look, I'm Captain America now, deal with it!" and just makes Hawkeye seem like a real prick for even coming in there. Then Hawkeye leaves. Which was just perfect. Most writers would try and decompress the scene and make it big and mopey, but really. That soesn't happen in real life. When guys make fools out of themselves they don't want to talk about it, they want to save face and get the hell out of dodge. Add in the fact that Clint wore the stars and stripes for one night before joining the New Avengers and you have an incredibly tense scene with e "He who without sin let him cast the first stone" dynamic that Brubaker had the restraint to portray as it actually would happen. This may have been my favorite scene of this title since the Bucky/Stark fight.
Posted by SixGun on 04/20/08 at 09:15 PMHmmm...maybe I need to reread this again. I thought it was a tad lackluster for a Captain America book. Don't get me wrong, any other title would kill to get an issue this good...but it felt a little off for Cap.
Posted by TomO on 04/21/08 at 07:48 AMOk my username says enough of what I think about this charecter. I have every issue of this book.Cap is the reason I collect comics since the beginning [ many more years than I care to admit ]. Epting is one of my favorite Avengers artists, so when he took on this title I was psyced. It is unfortunate that the colors are more realistic than comic,but I know most like it that way nowadays. I don't like the dragging of the storyline [ obviously written for trade ] but the style this is written and drawn in has Cap my favorite title every month again and has been for some time. I have almost even come to terms and forgiven Ed, Steve, and Joe for killing Steve. Almost
