3.0

Half-amazing, half-forgettable. Points for a Swordsman appearance, but Kraven the Hunter showing up felt way too forced and convenient. Also, I haven't been keeping up with my comics lately, but who are these Rampart guys? Are they pre-existing? If so, Cool. If not, what not just use Hydra or Sons of the Serpent instead?
Samnee kills it again; Waid has his ups and down.
Would have preferred if the second half of this volume felt like it belonged with the first half.

Mark Waid is a genius. When Captain America is done well, it should make you properly sad for what we aren't, and proud of what we are. At this particular time and place, a superhero telling someone that they have to look out for someone else solely because they are bigger than the other person is what we're lacking as a people right now, and I needed this reminder. The first part of this works better than the second part because it is clean and pure and the second is more complicated, but it works, too. Ah, a tonic of a comic.
