Captain America, Vol. 2: The Extremists by Chuck Austen, John Ney Rieber, Jae Lee, Trevor Hairsine
3.0
It really is simply... average.
The art isn’t always my favorite. The strangest thing is, at times, it was so dramatic with its use of colors, shadows and positioning. But, for most of it, I don’t love some of the harsher angles it gave to the character’s faces.
Anyway, this run continues its surprisingly open minded views on who deserves protection. The last volume was about the innocent people in the Middle East with some references to those killed in the crossfire during WWII. This volume talks about Native Americans... by demonizing them?
I don’t like the way Inali’s character was handled, to be perfectly honest. I will say, it was an interesting concept to give him a different source for his weather abilities. I liked seeing him face off against Thor. But, that was about all I liked of it.
I also thought thought the weird tension between Steve and Hana was needed.
But, overall, while this isn’t terrible. It’s not a recommend from me.
