Captain America Epic Collection, Vol. 14: The Captain
by Mark Gruenwald, Bob Layton, David Michelinie
Uh...this was A LOT.
I mean it wasn't all bad. I appreciate Mark mixing up things and having a NEW Captain America before that became a big thing in a couple of years with Batman and Superman. And this actually didn't make me hate John Walker. I can see where he was coming from, even if he's ignorant to his "home" of racist. Still, the idea of it worked and there's some fun issues with him and his buddy Lamar.
The stuff with Steve didn't really work for me. It felt overly long to get to the point of taken out the big bad and teaching the government not to be, well, assholes. But that's an impossible lesson, isn't it? Also some of the fights and bad guys were really silly and didn't have the weight of some of the story beats.
This isn't bad per say, but I wasn't overly impressed. But for the idea and push for John Walker to be the New Cap, I got to give it props there. Just can't go past a 3.
