A review by birdmanseven
Marvel Masterworks: Captain America, Vol. 9 by Tony Isabella, John David Warner, Steve Englehart, Marv Wolfman, Frank Robbins, Bill Mantlo

3.0

Reading this story in rapid succession was not beneficial. In these pages we see Cap drop the mantle to start a new superhero career as Nomad. I actually kinda liked that, but it felt like it went by in a flash. Then Sam Wilson is giving a pretty awful retcon thanks in part of the Red Skull. I don't really understand the point of giving him a criminal past and I wasn't a fan. As the Steve Engelhart run ends there's a bit of a vacuum where other creative teams spin some wheels. Overall, there was a lot I enjoyed, but the collection as a whole feels a little disjointed. I'm soon running out of track with the Masterworks series and will have to switch to single issues.
