Captain America Theater Of War Operation Zero Point
The first in a series of specials covering the length and breadth of the larger-than-life legend of Captain America, as told by the industry's leading experts in the field! First up, it's 1944, and wouldn't you know it? Them sneaky Nazis have managed to crack the secrets of electro-magnetic physics...yeah, that's right: apples may fall down in the free world, but schnitzels are falling up in the skies over a mysterious lab in a Polish forest, thanks to a little help from a nearby forced-labor camp. Sure, we could send in the Marines, but why bother when we've got Captain America?! But even Cap may be meeting his match against the lab's sadistic cybernetic commandant. Because everyone knows, the only thing worse than a Nazi is a Robot Nazi!

Not to diminish Breitweiser's art (it is amazing), but don't sell the Knaufs short - they turned in some pretty good Iron Man books, and this looks like it's right up their alley. My pick for dark horse of the week.

This book turned out to be pretty damn good. I wasn't planning on buying it, but Captain America is on my pull list, so I ended up with it. Overall, I'm glad I read it.

Pretty fun book. Looking forward to the next installment.

A really quick read, but in a good pag-turner kind of way. Very straight-forward. Solid writing, solid art.
What's worse than Nazis? Nazis with flying saucers!

The art on this is going to be FANTASTIC. I've been looking at a lot of the guy's stuff online and he is most good. Definitely picking this up.
