  • Hydra Cap, Part 3
Collects Civil War II: The Oath, and Captain America: Steve Rogers (2016) # 12 -16 Civil War II: The Oath - This one is fascinating, as Steve Rogers starts off sounding very much like Captain America as he lectures a presumably unconscious super-hero about how messed up super-heroes are. He makes quite a few good points along the way. And then it ends in a way that would be very surprising to readers who had not been following the Captain America: Steve Rogers book. CA:SR 12-16 Baron Zemo and Madame Hydra (guess who?) build up the Hydra army. Maria Hill learns Steve is Hydra. The fake history cleverly warps Rogers' original WWII Captain America adventures while still having everything that happened, still happen, sort of. One problem: since the Red Skull told Kobik to turn Steve into Hydra and she was doing his bidding, why would she then booby-trap these memories to turn Steve against the Red Skull? Well, maybe this will be explained later. This volume suffers from crossovers. The Red Skull is defeated over here Uncanny Avengers: Unity Vol. 4: Red Skull (The Uncanny Avengers: Unity) and Kobik gets re-fragmented over here Thunderbolts Vol. 2: No Going Back . Also, the art suffers. Civil War II: The Oath has five different artists (but otherwise, it's a great book!); the five CA:SR issues have nine (including inkers, I suppose). The art differences were more jarring in "The Oath." Nevertheless, this is still a good continuation of the Hydra Cap story, leading up to Secret Empire. If you're interested in this story, you will of course read volumes 1 and 2 of CA:SR first. ... show more

  • Great Entry To The Hydra-Cap Storyline, Marred by Yet More Marvel Crossover Mayhem.
With a title like Empire Building, and a character like Steve Rogers: Captain America having recently been unmasked as a Hydra agent, you can guess what sort of calamity is in store here. With Hydra forces on the rise across the world, and actively engaged in war to control the European country of Sokovia under the rule of The Red Skull, SHIELD has been looking to expand its powers. With Maria Hill ousted for her role in the Pleasant Hill fiasco, Rogers has been made the new director and just in time to be granted a frightening breadth of power by the US Congress with the passage of the SHIELD Act, a plan to make the security agency a bonafide ruler of a police state in the wrong hands. But hey, everyone trusts Captain America, so what could possibly go wrong? I was a bit worried about this epic storyline when word first emerged of Nick Spencer’s plans for Rogers, but I’ve been enjoying this tale quite a lot. It’s a smart sci-fi political thriller that keeps you guessing, and Spencer is adept at ratcheting up the stakes, keeping the story turning and turning and turning. My only real complaint is that, with this volume especially, we’re getting into crossover territory yet again. There are some pretty significant subplots running through the back half of this book that hinge on developments unfolding in other Marvel titles. Some, like certain events involving The Red Skull, are recapped well enough here that I didn’t feel like I was missing out. Other elements, such as a battle between the evil Baron Zemo and one-time Cap ally, Bucky Barnes, occur in an entirely different title. We see the head-scratching aftermath here, and there’s several blanks that need filling. I get these crossovers are a great way for Marvel to make some money, but Christ on a cracker is it ever annoying as a reader. I’m longing for some self-contained stories that don’t farm out important plot elements to five other comic titles. Still, it’s not as badly handled and mismanaged as Spider-Verse, so some Credit is due here at least... I haven’t mentioned the flashbacks in my previous reviews, but we’ve been getting a lot of development on the rewritten history of Rogers. It’s good stuff, but the one thing I appreciate the most in these sections are the coloring. Told in black-and-white or the occasional sepia panels, colorist Rachelle Rosenberg uses some deft spot coloring techniques to keep the panels vivid and engaging. I love a good use of spot coloring, and these have been dynamic and fun to look at. She spices up these moments with some nicely deep reds or shocking greens, creating really cool visuals for the book’s art teams. Now onto the penultimate volume and the Secret Empire storyline... ... show more

it was good but didn't enjoy it as much as the first volume and the art wasn't that good either but overall Captain America Hydra arc is good I loved it.

  • Story so good, I flipped back and read it again!
I love Capt. But this story could not have been done without the huge cannon of history behind it . Clever and imaginative, and a true word for the very real fear of patriotism/fanaticism. So good! Could not stop .

Kind of disappointed. Left comics for a few years and came back to this. Spoiled by previous runs I guess?

  • Really losing steam for me.
I still like the idea, but the story has really started to drag. I found myself not caring what was happening next and skimming pages, even when it was leading up to an important event. I figured an "evil Captain America" story would be more interesting than this.
