This could have been an interesting premise with better execution. As far as "What ifs" go, this is still leagues above the whole "what if Cap was a Nazi" What If so, props for that. I could have been more interested in this if we'd gotten more focus on the resistance. For once, here is a story that could have benefited a lot more from seeing the outside POV. Perhaps from Luke, or Reed, or Bucky or Don Blake's POVs where we saw more of the world where the heroes were underground fighting the Nazis. That would have kept this interesting and maybe brought back some of that rebellious hope that the best Cap comics have.

But, this just didn't really work for me, to be honest. Though, it was interesting seeing a world without Iron Man, the Hulk and Thor.

Also, the implication that the Red Skull thought Cap was interested in Bucky beyond being his teenage partner, that Cap was some sort of child abuser, was entirely unnecessary and I don't know why it was here. That was so gross.

I really enjoyed this volume until we got to the weird as fuck ending of weird. Still a bit confused about what the hell was happening, but I liked the AU-ish-ness of it for a while.
