Damn this second half was heart pounding badass and sad.

With his son taken from him steve uses everything he has to find Zola. While he's making his way to his son, his poor boy is being brainwashed by his father and somewhat sister. Though now his sister is starting to second guess Zola's true self. But when Zola begins the brainwashing it might be too much for the boy to handle and Steve might lose to time.

This is a brutal confrontation with a father who would do ANYTHING to get his son back. Inner monologue is amazing as Steve pushes his body well past his limits and it all makes sense. The intense showdown, the grief from loss, and the weight of the world on his shoulders. Everything works real well here to the point when a surprise guest comes in it gets even better.

While I really enjoyed the first half of Dimension Z, it's book 2 that elevates it to become one of the best stories for Cap. Sure the art can teeter on meh but overall, it works for this book. A 4.5 out of 5.
