I'm just at this party because of Coates, but even though I'm not an avid comics reader, I found this highly entertaining. I didn't even understand what was going on a fair portion of the time either. Hell, I might even stick around for issue #2.

Captain America has gone through a lot in the last few years. And by that I mean both the character and the title. Thankfully the start of a new series doesn’t hide from that fact. We’re made very aware of the damages and cost of what has happened in the last few series. They don’t shy from it; they don’t deny it or try to downgrade it. It’s painfully front and center.
This sounds bad, but it’s actually fantastic. I love the idea of seeing Captain America step up to fix his reputation and mantle. It’s exactly what his character would do in this circumstance, and therefore wouldn’t have it any other way. It really is the best way to redeem his character, all things considered.
This issue starts out a bit slow, in that they’re laying out so much of what we already knew. The fight scene at the beginning is fairly intense though, for obvious reasons. I can’t wait to see what happens next – I like the groundwork that has been laid so far.

I mean come on, if you know me, you know that Captain America is my favorite. This is my first time being able to jump into a Captain America from the very beginning and it was nice to be able to start from the very beginning. This takes place after the Secret Empire Omega comics and I would recommend reading at least the Captain America one to understand the backstory of this. I really enjoyed this comic because it really instills Cap, who I am going to refer to as Steve in the rest of this review, as a throughly human character. He is struggling with the after effects of what happened in Secret Empire Omega and what happened before that. It shows him trying to reconcile with the America he sees now and trying to understand it. A character also showed up who I did not expect and was so happy to see because they are also my favorite but I am keeping it vague for the sake of no spoilers. What I ultimately loved about this though was the fact that Steve had a good point at the end and throughout the whole comic. I won't say it for it is something that needs to be read but I absolutely loved his point and can't wait to see where this will go.

First off: Happy Birthday, Steve Rogers!!
This was a wonderful introduction! I’m curious to see how far Marvel will let Coates go with the political themes but I hope they give him free reign. They made the right choice letting Coates repair what Spencer broke.
Captain America should stand for the people and, in Cap’s own words “the strong protect the weak”. Cap stands for the oppressed and that’s precisely what he’s trying to do in this book.
So, bravo and I look forward to seeing where Coates takes us.
