For the most part, it was a lot of fun. A couple things here and there made me roll my eyes hard though. I loved the Namor guest spot! But overall it felt long.

I never get tired of watching Captain America punch nazis in the face. Cap is back and most of it actually made sense.

So...I'm really glad that Steve is alive again (although he wasn't technically dead, just temporally lost or whatever), but...something about this just wasn't satisfying. I think that it might have been too intentionally retro/homage cheesy. Plus, with all the time-jumping and explanations of who each cape character was (admittedly necessary to prevent confusion if you didn't read every Civil War issue), it felt, at times, like one of those anime recap episodes that I hate.

So you were hoping that Bucky would forever be the new Captain America?
NOPE!
DON'T CALL IT A COMEBACK.
And as far as comic book resurrections go, it wasn't the most far-fetched of I'm not dead yet! explaining aways as I've seen (getting blasted back in time by Darkseid's Omega Beams and then having reality unspool around you, but you're pulled back from the brink because you got a cape and "Gotham needs you" is still the trippiest IMO).

Brubaker is most definitely my favorite Cap writer. Helluva return for Cap here with some great art. After reading his Death of Captain America this is a must.

"Steve Rogers is unstuck in time" features some of my favorite words all in the same sentence.

This book is a bit convoluted. Good ideas, but lots of players while wrapping up a massive storyline leads to a little bit of confusion. Overall, I enjoyed it and I’m looking forward to the next book!

The worst Bryan Hitch ever.
I didn't undestand how Cap survived and how the mind of the Skrull travelled.

Still a wonderful story!

It's compelling, the art is gorgeous and the writing's pretty good. It goes through Cap's history in a way that doesn't feel repetitive (and believe me, a lot of Cap's books go through his history). I enjoyed seeing Steve's inner thoughts as he relived his past. I really loved seeing Sam, Bucky and Nat work together. I like the set up for what comes next.

The only downside is that this book, once again, has me asking what the hell kind of vendetta does Brubaker have against Sharon Carter? I mean, she just gets the worst of it in his run and in this book. She's not only brainwashed to kill Cap, pregnant against her will and then loses the baby, and then forced to remember what she was brainwashed to do. In this book, Red Skull takes over the body of the love of her life and then beats her up.

Like dude... why does she need to be treated that way? The rest of that stuff was (way, way) more than enough.
