This is one of the first Captain America comics I've read where it actually feels like the character I know and love. He's not blindly patriotic, he fights for the little guys, and he does some Captain-esque speeches while also remaining a bit shy and occasionally snarky.
Also, him going on a roadtrip in the first few "chapters" was freakin adorable as hell and I am HERE for it.

Fun fact: this is the first comic I ever read back in 2019 so maybe I’m biased

Captain America: Home of the Brave collects Captain America #695-700 by Mark Waid and Chris Samnee.
I was a tremendous fan of Waid and Samnee on Daredevil so I had to pick this up. In the aftermath of Secret Empire, Captain America is driving around America on a motorcycle and encounters white supremacist organization Rampart, The Swordsman, Kraven the Hunter, and gets frozen in ice once again.
This is really good stuff and not just because I think Chris Samnee is the bee's knees. The first three issues are linked but largely done in one stories. The three remaining issues see Captain America thawed in a future America torn by war and ruled by a dictator.
Waid has a great handle on Captain America's personality and resists the temptation to go quip-a-minute Marvel movie style with the dialogue. While Captain America doesn't fight any of his iconic foes, he acts like Captain America should and goes a long way toward making me forget about all that dumbass Captain America being a Nazi stunt crap in Secret Empire. Five out of five stars.

2 more episodes of @falconandwintersoldier required adding a recent #CaptainAmerica comic into the reading mix. This one was also very on the nose. "Home of the Brave" illustrates how Captain America's mantra has always been that the strong protect those weaker than themselves, and to defeat supremacists and the bourgeoisie in favor of a better future for all. Romantic, no? It may be just a story, and it may have its own hiccups and misguided nostalgia, but good God I hope for more for this America and what she might be next...Better and brave.

Ugh, I went into this not intending to care much for it but it really got me right in the sentimental feels. I’m hella unpatriotic, yet Captain America’s raw idealism always works on me.

Home of the Brave was great but I didn’t care for Out of Time nearly as much.
