Captain America #2 Review

Captain America #2 Review



3 / 5

One Year Later. That's where this book with its crummy introduction with issue #1. The only problem I have with this right now is that I'm still fuzzy on what counts as canon in the Marvel Universe and what does not. Is Captain America (ongoing series) part of the rest of the Marvel Universe (i.e., Uncanny Avengers, All New X-Men, etc.) or is this its own entity, kind of like there being differences between different Spider-Man series. I'm confused, but okay for right now. 

This issue is actually a big improvement from the first. The art style is still enjoyable and the plot is more comprehensible. Part of the year that has passed is that the child Steve saved in the previous issue is now older and still with him. I like that there's a heart-felt attachment to tie Steve down from being just a badass comic book hero. There's also a more apparent reason for the flashbacks at the beginning of each issue to young Steve back in New York. I like this as I felt the flashback in issue 1 was kind of a waste. 

All-in-all, much more satisfying than the first issue. I hope the series can keep this kind of momentum.
