In 1940, as America prepared for war, a frail young man volunteered for an experiment that transformed him into the ultimate physical specimen: the American Super-Soldier. Steve Rogers battled Nazis until a freak mishap trapped him in suspended animation for decades. When he awakened, Rogers was truly a man out of time -- though no less committed to fighting the evils of this perilous new era. Now, in the aftermath of 9/11, Cap must come to grips with a changing global landscape. From the ruins of the World Trade Center to the horrors of a small town shaken by terrorism, the star-spangled Super-Soldier is forced to make some hard decisions about his role in the world.Collecting: Captain America 1-6

This was just fine. The artwork wasnt my favorite. There are a few marvel comics around this time that have similar art. It just feels very static and doesnt have the same excitement I get from other artwork. The storyline was surprisingly progressive for the time. This is a year after 9/11 and we have stories where Cap is protecting Muslim Americans from hate crimes. The message is do not punish an entire people for the actions of terrorists. Its a great message and one Im surprised marvelGreat
Great
First half is interesting, gripping and well written, but all the questions concerning the legitimacy of US foreign policies and arms dealings are completely thrown away the moment Cap. insists, in what seems a reiteration of the "with us, against us" typical of the Bush Docrine, on the perception of terrorists as mad, demented people . So demented and mad that they were able to bypass all U.S. military might to achieve the destruction of the Twin Towers as well as to force the USA in an endless
This was pretty damn good. After the events of 9/11 we have a broken cap. Trying to piece against the world again. The first issue of him digging through the pile of the buildings where he's trying to save a few people is just perfect captain America. Then have Captain America stop a hate crime from happening in true Captain America fashion. Then we get into the real meat of the story of terrorism and it's probably one of the most patriotic yet capturing who Cap is. Surprisingly the story does
A hugely frustrating but noble failure - you can't accuse Rieber of not trying to tackle some big stuff in his Captain America/ 9/11 story but because he spends so long trying to weave ambiguity into the narrative, the story becomes kind of muddled and awkward. It's almost as if Rieber has some kind of tally system going on: conventional wisdom about the war against terror used once? Then apply something about how America is partly to blame in response. Moment of American patriotism? Then here's
