This is a good story but I hate seeing Steve part of (view spoiler)[ Hydra. It's a great idea if this was a spin-off run but I hate how it's part of the main universe (hide spoiler)].

Although had an amazing start and the first 3 issues were pretty good, it short of just fell apart to coincide with the Civil War 2 story line and needed up being rather messy.

3.5 starsSome spoilers! But seriously, this has been out for a while...I was kinda afraid this was going to be some political thing, and god knows I hate that sort of shit. Honestly, if I wanted other people's opinions on the state of my country/ world, I could just log on to Facebook and scroll through the hilariously witty (yet SO poignant!) memes from my friends on the far left or far right. Goddamn, that unfollow button has been a lifesaver!So it was with that nonsense in mind that I finally...

5 🌟Interesting that Steve is now a Hydra agent. Glad that he is in a relationship with Sharon Carter. Wonder what will happen when they find out what he did to Jack. Hope Cap will be back to normal soon. :-(.Can't wait to read Captain America: Steve Rogers, volume 2!!!!

Boring. Cap has been reverted back to being young again, basically at his prime but it comes at a price. It was on national news that Cap is now working for Hydra, and the how of this is explained in this trade. The problem I have with this is, there's so much cliche. Story points have been mined from many other stories and simply reused here. There's also a LOT of exposition: the characters are just explaining EVERYTHING to you. This trade takes place during Civil War II and not having read tha...

Is there something from another series I’m missing before reading this because I’m confused as hell. But Sharon looked good.

This was OK, I suppose. It had decent artwork and was fairly entertaining. I honestly don't see what all the fuss was about; there's nothing really new here, it's just another mind-control/timey-wimey/alternate-reality story with a slight twist.To be honest, if I was slightly disappointed it's because I expect better from Nick Spencer, as his work is usually in the five star range for me.Maybe he'll surprise me in volume two.

I'll warn you before we get into spoilers. Which we will. If you're not going to read this one because "OMG, they made Cap a Nazi!" then I would encourage you to read this review so you know the score. If I can just tell you it's quite a bit more complicated than that, and if that's enough to convince you to read the book for yourself, then skip the rest.If it matters, I'm going to spoil up to the second issue in the arc.**Spoilers Ahoy**This is the famous book that contains Captain America hims...

I bought this volume because I was curious about the whole thing. Now I feel it was not worth it.

Pretty good take. I'm definitely intrigued.

HAIL HYDRA!!!!

The title of this book should be Captain Exposition: Steve Rogers. Wow, was this a slog to get through. After hearing all the hullabaloo in the media when the first issue hit stands and then reading Avengers: Standoff, I knew exactly where this was headed. I just didn't think Spencer would need to write a novel to explain it. It just shows the amount of hoops you need to jump through to contrive the shock value of Cap working for Hydra.I found the scene where Red Skull was recruiting people abso...

This was interesting. So unlike mostly everyone on the internet I didn't cry and die when they announced Cap would be Hydra. I didn't slit my wrist, claim racism, and shave the side of my heads in a shield (I shit you not I followed someone on Twitter who did this). No, I let Nick give his writing a chance. If it sucked I'd call it out. If not...Well it's in the middle. Let's talk about one thing Nick does sometimes that drives me insane. Needless exposition AND massive amount of dialog. Some of...

My disappointments with Cap's love affairs & the whole Hail hydra spiel aside, I cannot deny my curiosity to read the next volume (and Civil War 2). ‘Controversial’ may it be, Cap’s new arc has my full attention; I’m particularly curious about how it’ll tie/continue into Civil War 2.

[Read as single issues]Nick Spencer sure can write a Captain America book. His Sam Wilson series is always on point, so it's a no-brainer to let him write Steve Rogers too. This new direction for Cap is very interesting. Spinning out of Standoff, we see Cap's memories re-written so that he is the perfect Hydra soldier, working for the Red Skull. Seeing one of the Marvel universe's most stalwart figures 'corrupted', but still being the best person in the room even if he has the worst motivations,...

Following Avengers Standoff, Steve Rogers is young and hunky again thanks to the cosmic cube kid Kobik – except Kobik, secretly coerced by the Red Skull, not only made Steve young again but made another major change that fundamentally altered his character. (view spoiler)[Hail Hydra. (hide spoiler)] I can’t really talk about this one without going into spoiler territory so: SPOILSIES AHEAD! That said, the first issue of this book caused a helluva lot of hubbub for Marvel when it came out last Ma...

So I normally don't type reviews but I just finished this book and couldn't help but to type one for this. What's it about:Captain America is now part of Hydra (I'm assuming I'm okay not spoiler marking that given the name of the volume and controversy) and Civil War II stuff was added because CHA-CHING!Pros:The story is really interesting for sure. It kept me reading and kept me interested despite it's flaws.There is some really sweet action in this comic.Cons:Art could be a lot better. It work...

If there could possibly be such a thing as blasphemy in comics, this would be it. I don't even have words sufficient enough to describe the contempt that I have for this book, and the pre-schooler attempt to make Captain America an agent of Hydra. Nick Spencer should join Adolph Hitler in the ranks of being punched in the face by Captain America. It's pathetic.

Captain America is back fighting the good fightor so it seems.Hail Hydra honestly makes me wonder if Nick Spencer was hugged as a child. He took one of the most wholesome mainstream heroes and twisted him into something vile. I'm so glad my 3 year old son doesn't read comics yet because he'd likely either cry his eyes out, ask me a million why did that happen questions, and/or sit dumbfounded. Captain America is his favorite character right now and this would mess his world up. Doing this with C...

The first third or so of the book is promising, opening with some good action scenes and unintended topical allusions to disgruntled Americans essentially becoming domestic terrorists. Sharon Carter (to quote sheriff Taskmaster: "I like the whole Mrs. Robinson vibe" - true that, TM) is always a plus, too. But by the end this train jumps the tracks with all the dialogue and 'flashbacks.'
