I've been reading comics for probably over 40 years now. I took huge breaks here and there, but always come back to them. These are from around the time I was graduating High School. I guess I wasn't reading around then because I don't remember anything about this.

It's fun to go back to the old comics sometimes. The language, the imagery, the ridiculous costumes, the political incorrectness. It kind of puts things in perspective.

Anyway, this story arc started and wrapped up nicely and of course left you with a good idea what was coming next. It was pretty dark and interesting how it kind of mirrored some of the questions that pop up in the Civil War comics, about working for the government and how that can be a bad thing.

Remember reading this storyline as a kid. An evil druid turns Captain America into a german shepherd, forcing Cap to live in the doghouse until Dr. Strange and John Jameson (son of J. Jonah) can find a cure. It was pretty silly and there was a dumb B-story about Cap's girlfriend getting gaslighted by a wrestler, but Wolverine was on the covers, so what was I gonna do, not buy them?
