Captain America Epic Collection, Vol. 12: Society of Serpents by Mark Gruenwald, Roger Stern, Mike Carlin, Frank Miller, Paul Neary

3.0

A throwback from my teen years, this starts Gruenwald's long tenure on the book. He's still clearing the decks of old subplots and dealing with the occasional crossover, but he's Los laying groundwork for Cap's hotline, the Serpent Society and Scourge, all great stories from'80s Cap. The art by Neary is solid if unspectacular, and while some might find the plotting and dialogue a little dated or even cheesy, I still love these stories and look forward to the next Epic collection of Gruenwald's run.

Mark Gruenwald was one of the best Cap writers of all time, and this collection includes his first few issues. It’s hard to overstate how much the book improves as soon as he takes it over.
