Volume 1
Secret Empire (167-176; w Steve Englehart, Mike Friedrich; a Sal Buscema). [From Marvel Comics: The Secret Empire was rarely more secretive or empirical than in this classic arc that sets Cap against a conspiracy out to frame and replace him in the American mind! And pay CLOSE attention to the man behind the curtain (or mask, as the case may be)! Corruption and cover-ups conclude with Cap quitting the Avengers, paving the way for his days as Nomad! With Nick Fury, the Black Panther and Banshee! Guest-starring the X-Men (back before it was cool) and featuring an early re-telling of Cap’s origin!] Old Book of the Week 5/17/06: The Englehart version is the Captain America of my childhood, and while it is somewhat dated (the great heaps of expository dialog really takes me back), I'm surprised at how much I still enjoy these stories. Written at the peak of the Watergate era, the book is built on paranoia and disillusionment, and I am still astonished that they got away with making that particular person the Big Bad (I can't imagine Marvel getting away with something similar today). And I never appreciated Sal Buscema's workmanlike art as a kid, but I now realize that I always enjoyed the books he drew—a testament to his understated but solid storytelling abilities.
Nomad (177-186; w Steve Englehart, John Warner; a Sal Buscema, Frank Robbins, Herb Trimpe).

On the 200th anniversary of the United States, America will die — and only Cap and the Falcon can save it! Plus: Captain America stands alone against an army of underground killers!

Heroes Reborn: Captain America (1-12; w Rob Liefeld, Chuck Dixon, Jeph Loeb, James Robinson; a Rob Liefeld, Joe Phillips, Joe Bennett, Al Rio).

But six months later, the insidious threat of terrorism has grown stronger than ever, and America needs more than just heroes. She needs a soldier ready to fight for justice without hesitation—the best this country has to offer. That man is Steve Rogers, the star-spangled Super-Soldier called Captain America. In the small town of Centerville, the terrorist known as Al-Tariq holds the entire populace hostage. No one gets in; no one gets out. That is, no one without the skills of Captain America.

But the Super-Soldier Serum flowing through his veins kept him alive for decades, and Captain America was found trapped in ice and revived many years later, taking his rightful place as the premier protector of his beloved country. In many ways, however, he remains a man out of time. Now, Captain America clashes with Redpath, an adversary that shares his ideal of a powerful and unified America, but lacks morality.

4 Captain America Lives Again (17-20, Tales of Suspense 66; w Dave Gibbons; a Lee Weeks). [From Marvel Comics: WATCHMEN’s Dave Gibbons writes this special story in classic Cap fashion – featuring two-fisted adventure, wall-to-wall action and scheming Nazis! Captain America finds himself in a nightmare New York City renamed "New Berlin," following the Nazis victory in WWII. Joining brave resistance fighters with strange but familiar faces like Ben Grimm, Peter Parker and Professor Reed Richards, Cap must find out how history has been altered and the world changed from everything he once knew to everything he’s fought against, and what does the Nazis’ mysterious & terrifying ultimate weapon have to do with it?

Winter Soldier 2 (8-9, 11-14; w Ed Brubaker; a Steve Epting, Michael Lark). [From Marvel Comics: The questions plaguing Captain America's dreams and memories have been answered in the most brutal way possible. And in the wake of this brutality, General Lukin makes his first all-out assault -- tearing open old wounds and threatening to make new scars that will never heal!] Book of the Week 5/17/06: In this politically charged time, when Americans are virtually at war with each other over what America means, for Ed Brubaker to make Captain America matter again is impressive. In any time, for Brubaker to bring Bucky back without sucking is miraculous. Brubaker was impressive at DC/Wildstorm, but playing with Marvel's toys he has elevated his game to a new level. His CA eschews politics for a solid thriller, with a slowly growing and solid supporting cast, lots of SHIELD, great villains—the book hasn't been this good in years, or decades, if not ever. Between this and Daredevil, Brubaker is firmly entrenched in the first rank.

Fury and the Howling Commandos behind enemy lines, trying to stop the Red Skull from launching a monstrous attack on the Allies unlike anything ever seen before!]
Red Menace 2 (18-21; w Ed Brubaker; a Steve Epting).
