Captain America #3 Review

From Evernote:

Captain America #3 Review



1 / 5

Whew. Another really rough issue for the captain. As was the case with previous issues, this issue begins with a flashback, this time for Zola in the 20s. We then jump back to the present with Steve and his companion immediately being saved from the conclusion to issue 2. From there it continues to jump from passage to passage every few panels. None of it is difficult to follow, it just doesn't really matter. We establish on one page a relationship that Steve has with some indigenous creatures, and then the creatures are killed off on the next page. You get the sense that it should carry some weight and importance, but there was never really a reason to care. The entire series is kind of working this way right now. 

This book also sets a new standard for crummy artwork with Steve's memory of his childhood being some of the worst I've ever seen. I'm legitimately curious if I missed something and the art was purposely supposed to be caricatured to connect with his art as a child or what. The point is, it's awful. 

I have one more issue to get through. If it doesn't turn around from here, it's highly unlikely I'll continue reading Captain America.
