Summary: Icon Updated
Review: After Sept. 11th, there was an outpouring of patriotism that had not been seen since WWII. Captain America is a comic book icon that was the product of the patriotic WWII era; the icon is recreated here for the post-9/11 America. Cap has been relaunched and recreated several times over the past decade, but never as effectively as here. John Cassaday's patriotic covers recall the innocent patriotism of WWII covers with the sophistication of modern art work.

Summary: Sad. Captain America from Michael Moore's p.c. world
Review: As has been noticed by virtually all readers and reviewers here or elsewhere , the artwork is great, but the story is just anti-Bush/anti-conservative p.c. propaganda. As another reviewer mentioned, if Captain America (in a comic book no less) can't even be a bit jingoistic toward terrorists , then the someone at Marvel needs to lighten up and check out the original Cap in the Marvel Masterworks series for some guidance. One seemingly confused reviewer from 2/14/05 does not see this for the politically correct tripe it is, though he accurately gives it only one star. (Michael Medved wrote a great column about Cap's demise which you can read if you Google "Michael Medved and Captain America".)

Summary: Fantastic art... horrible read
Review: John Cassady is one of the most talented superhero artists outside of Alex Ross. It is VERY unfortunate that the story that accompanies his art is so bad.This book is a shining example of: "Great art does not a comic book make". The story revolves around Captain Americas activities after 9-11 of 2001. It shifts, with little explanation, from one series of events to another. There is WAY too much exposition between scenes which makes for a very boring read.

Summary: So prescient, you'll be left stunned...
Review: Nicely conceived idea, with the mini-series arc starting in the rubble of Ground Zero. The art will have non-comic-book people scratching their head in amazement, saying "I had no idea." When a plot point centers on the fact that the terrorist strike may have been an attempt to start WW III "in the Middle East", you'll gasp. Especially when this originally appeared a year ago or more...When Cap underscores his concern by stating, "In WW I, 90% of the casualties were military. In WW II, it was 50%. In WW III...?"...having to go back just to appreciate the artwork some more. A classy, classic read, and well worth your investigation.

Summary: what has become of our captain?
Review: Now first i would like to say i am not some patriot whowill bash anything said bad about my country, and i find you must always keep an eye on the government..now on to the review. This story was just horrible in many way, we have captain america more as an icon than a man, we don't see steve rogers the man like we once did but just the image and that can be very boring. the story is very one sided in how it says america is at fault for so much, terrorists attack a town that makes weapons, he rants about how america has down so so much harm, a woman looks at her husband and is upset to find he makes weapons at the local plant, like she did not know? or that makes him bad for finding a job? where is the rebuttle? we see it's all one sided, all i ask is maybe cap or some one speak back and make their case..but no the message is clear in the comic. so we get a boring story that tries to shove in our face how america is so badand we shoudl all hang our heads in shame? sorry but this is not my kind of story. i don't want a overly patriotic cap but i don't like this extreme either. but the art is stunning, i just wish the story could be as good.

Summary: Captain America continues to shine!
Review: The story is very manipulative and requires too much suspension of disbelief, even for a world with superheroes. The master villain is not a fanatic Muslim but simply wants revenge on the world for his disfigurement. The terrorists seem to move at will across the country. Highly unlikely with the high alert status. Cap fails to remember that in Dresden, Hitler deliberately placed a command infrastructure among civilians to use them as human shields. Therefore, the analogy between 911 and the Dresden bombing is false. Also, what was the point of Cap removing his mask for the cameras? He had no reason to apologize for killing Al-Tariq. The man was about to detonate a series of bombs that would kill everyone in town. In that situation, pulling your punches does nothing to help the hostages. And does anyone believe that a town with a factory that makes bomb components would only have about 600 people?
I'm not buying that the shrill wife in the church didn't know what her husband's job was and if she found it so horrible, why did it become okay when he told her it was only components instead of complete bombs?
Again, brilliant art but the writer has turned Cap into a guilt-ridden charicature. Based on this, I see no reason to even look at Red, White, and Black.
