This collection was a mess. I thought it was bad when you bought a volume and there's like 5 different artists. This collection had about 7 different writers and it very much showed.
There were few bright spots. Issue #247 was good, there was a pretty decent run from 248 to the end but the rest of this book was just terrible? I mean, watching Captain America tell black people to sit out the war against white terrorism and the book implying that they're part of the problem? THe unnecessary flip flopping in Cap's feelings about Peggy and Sharon? The continuance of using Sharon poorly until killing her off?
What more could I say that wasn't covered in the many, many letters to the editor complaining about the way the comics were going. Including one notable one from Kurt Busiek asking when the writers were going to present a story that was memorable.
It's not a recommend at all. I would recommend reading "War & Remembrance" because those collect the decent issues from this collection.
I love Cap, I love a lot of Cap stories, these just weren't worth spending time on.
