Tras unos números iniciales decentes, la seri pierde los dibujantes buenos y comienza un descenso a la irrelevancia. Paso de comentar más.

This second run by Brubaker's still interesting, and the craziness of this arc is fun. Davis's art is great as usual, and it was fun to see Machinesmith again. Worth it.

This comic gave me pre-serum Steve and that's all I need. Oh, man, he's 100 pounds of piss and vinegar and I love every ounce of it.
Also, beginning to understand why Sharon Carter is awesome.

This was really terrible. Not only are the characters completely utterly bland, the art is cringe-worthy and the dialogue laughable, with weirdly emphasized words, which makes for some hilarious times if you read it aloud. So while I'll always have fond memories and some inside jokes because of this, I still think it's pretty awful.

Sophomore slump? I loved the first volume, but this floated out of my brain as soon as I finished.
Brubaker had been on the character for a long time prior to this series restart at #1, and I think maybe that's starting to show here.

A solid volume.
I'm a sucker for the stories centered around Steve's unshakeable faith. The thing about Brubaker, he always likes to challenge that. In a good way, mind you. Here, we get a glimpse of the little guy: pre-serum Steve. Once again, Brubaker uses Cap's cast really well. There's a pretty solid cameo from my favorite Avenger, Iron Man. I love when writers remember that Steve and Tony are friends. Tony does everything in his power to help Steve out here. Hawkeye and Sam also have pretty great roles, as well. Sharon is here again, too.
The art is just spectacular. All the awards to Mr. Davis on this one.
A recommend if you're looking for a solid Cap book.

Alan Davis' work has never looked better, a reminder that when paired with an inker who is NOT Mark Farmer it just cannot compare. Ed Brubaker continues to write exciting Captain America stories, but this one falters a little. Though there's nothing that's inherently wrong with this storyline, it just seems to be missing an extra plot twist or a real A-HA moment. Why was the mad-bomb set exactly? For what purpose did Cap need to lose his powers? And when he lost his serum-enhanced abilities, why was he also not reverted back to his true age like has been done so in so many previous stories? There was a terrific collection of secondary characters (Machinesmith, Serpent Squad, Zemo & Bravo) and Sharon Carter and Falcon continue to shine, but when it's all said and done we're kind of left thinking what the whole point was. But maybe we've just been spoiled by so many stellar Brubaker/Cap stories of late.

Slightly better than Volume 1, but I can't help feel that Steve Rogers returned to his pre-Serum state -- possibly because of internal conflicts -- had more potential than is fulfilled here. Sharon Carter does at least get something to do, although her characterization still feels like paint-by-the-numbers Action Girlfriend.
Alan Davis' art is more cartoony than the previous artists for Brubaker's run, but it still works, and his facial differentiation and expressiveness is excellent.
