This collection picks up right after Cap's return from Dimension Z, and Cap has been shattered physically and emotionally.

More so than any other author I have read, Rick Remender digs into the character of Steve Rogers and allows us to feel his pain. While many consider the Brubaker run to be the story of Bucky just as much or more so than the story of Steve, Remender truly explores Steve's psyche in a way that I find incredibly interesting. In these issues, we see the toll that Dimension Z has taken on Steve. He is not as sharp mentally as he normally is, and he relies heavily on support from his friends Falcon and Jet Black.

Captain America Vol 7 2

We witness Steve's human side and his capacity to make a mistake. It's a side of Steve not often seen, but I absolutely love the way Remender shows us that no matter what Steve goes through, he always stands up. I just wish that Remander hadn't taken so many emotional short cuts with Ian. He's Steve's adopted son, and I buy that he loves him and is protective of him.

But I don't feel it, because we're skipping years between issues. We don't see them bonding, we're essentially just told In a major tone shift from Brubaker's take on the character, Remander puts Steve in a pulpy, The Island of Doctor Moreau tinged dimension run by Armin Zola. We don't see them bonding, we're essentially just told that it happens. I still had fun, but it could have been better.

Mar 31, Sierra Faith rated it it was ok Shelves: This was the weirdest thing ever. Let's just leave it at that. No to the story. No to the art. View all 6 comments. Apr 21, J. Aug 27, Andrew rated it it was amazing Shelves: Liked it a lot, actually. It may have faults, but I thought Remender executed the story well. This was just plain old-fashioned good, weird storytelling. And while I realize that a lot of folks out there aren't the biggest fans of John Romita seems like a 'love it or leave it' mentality , I personally think this book allowed him to showcase his talents.

May 04, Sara Price. I picked this up on a whim, I'm a fan of Captain America and thought I would give this a try! I liked it, the style was different than what I'm used to and the story was a bit confusing for me but overall I enjoyed it and will look forward reading more Captain America! Number out of on my all time book list. Very interesting story - looking forward to part two.

Sep 10, Emily Schirmer rated it really liked it. He can punch out bad people and jump through glass. I knew almost immediately that Steve Rogers was the type of character I could stand behind. He was made for great things. And he is oh-so easy to love. When he jumped on that grenade not knowing it was a test to protect his fellow soldiers? I cried and cried because I had such respect for that character.

I had that much faith in the character. And now, having finished the first volume, I can say I have not been let down. Rick Remender took a character I love, kept him true to his values, and produced one hell of a story. Captain America is still the character I fell in love with — and more badass than ever. No matter what, we can count on Captain America to stand up and fight.

Again, and again, and again. Jun 15, Kate rated it did not like it. I legitimately have no words for this run. Remender does nothing but fuck up Captain America's character and ruin themes that have been central to Steve's story for decades. He seems to have no regard for the writers that came before him and seems to use every side character as a plot point for more manpain. I am extremely unimpressed with this run. Captain America has always been my favorite hero and seeing such a wonderful character be brought down so far is actually heartbreaking.

I cannot belie I legitimately have no words for this run. I cannot believe that this run is still getting some good reviews and I cannot believe that Marvel can publish this without hesitation when it has blatant racist and sexist points. They have made great strides by incorporating more pocs and women characters in group comics and in individual runs.

If I could give it 0 stars, I would. May 28, Alicia Riley rated it really liked it. To start off with I do not like the art work of John Romita Jr. Steve trap in a different dimension that his enemy, Zola, rules over, while raising his adopted son Ian would of make a great story if it was plain out more and didn't feel like it was rush. Jan 22, Arlomisty rated it liked it. Do I plan to?

I also plan to read every book by Stephen King, earn a Bachelor's degree in social work, climb Mount Kilimanjaro and see Metallica in concert. Never said I was gonna do it tomorrow. I'm not familiar with one of the most well-known Marvel runs in history. I'm not even sorry. I'm a frickin' millennial, Jesus I hate that word I'm a little more prone to newer models. Doesn't mean I can't appreciate the classics.

Just means I tend to look in directions like Remender's first. Steve Rogers, better known as Captain America, torn between finally letting go of his past and settling down with the woman he's in love with and remaining the only thing he's even been good at, has been captured by the mutant bio-terrorist Arnim Zola. Subjected to an experimental injection, Rogers uses what little strength he has left to take down Zola's guards, and escape with the infant 'son' for lack of a better word of the mad scientist. There's only one problem. Steve and the baby boy are trapped in enemy territory, the destroyed land of Dimension Z, where Zola rules all and 'death to Captain America' is the battle cry.

Rogers has no choice but to run, not only for his life, but for that of the boy he risked it to save. More than a decade passes, Rogers raises the boy, who he names Ian, as his own. He will never know his murderous bloodline, he will be a hero and fight the tyranny of his birth father's rule and right the wrongs of his ruined world. But, not far away, Zola's daughter, warrior princess Jet Black, rules with an iron fist. And when she finds out the man who 'murdered' her baby brother is still alive, she sounds the alarm, and every enemy Rogers and Ian have are rushing at them.

Having found a way home, having gotten so close, our heroes have to turn back. They have to do the right thing. He's the number one Marvel artist in my book, the second and third places being held by David Aja and Tony Moore, respectively and I would probably read anything he illustrated. He breaks, bloodies, bruises, bends and destroys my favorite characters in the best ways possible. Automatic ten out of ten as far as art goes.

I'll visit the more classic Captain America some day, but Rick Remender's will suit me just fine until then. Jul 24, William Thomas rated it really liked it. Rick Remender doesn't know how to do anything on a small scale. Everything he does is crossover event enormous.

His arcs in a single book could easily be company-wide crossovers with huge implications. He knows exactly how to write Silver Age stories in a modern voice. He goes big in every issue and aims to shock. And what's more, they're entertaining from start to finish. Fans of Brubaker's sleepy, yawning spy Captain America books will sneer at this new direction with disdain. Captai Rick Remender doesn't know how to do anything on a small scale. Captain America was never meant to work in the shadows, skulking around. He's a metaphor for hope. He's meant to be a beacon, not in the spotlight because he is the spotlight.

So instead of Brubaker imposing his typically gritty style on Cap an dont get me wrong, I love Ed, just not when he writes capes books we get Remender imposing his hard-as-nails hard-boiled sci-fi on the man. Which one works better? The one that's closest to the heart of Jack Kirby, of course. Unlike his new Uncanny Avengers book, this isn't just fun. You can feel its pulse. He's really tryin his damnedest to tell a Cap story that's all his without making Cap into something he isn't.

Remender understands the heart of the character and that's the most important thing we could ever ask of a writer. Although I could do without the flashbacks to little Steve's past, they're short and over in an instant. Otherwise, this book fires on all cylinders. Totally against the grain for what we have been seeing in the Captain America books over the last decade or so and still hitting all the right notes for the character.

Descrição do produto

Internal monologue drives this arc and it is all so spot on it made me giddy. John Romita Jr doesn't put his best foot forward in this, though. I know his style's changed a bit since the glory days, but it feels too wispy. I need darker, harder inks. I need more shadows.

Ever since he did the 'Celestials' art for Gaiman it just hasn't felt the same. It feels a little too hollow. If he'd only beef it up, this book would be unstoppable. Because he's the perfect artist with the perfect style to accompany Remender on his fabulously strange odyssey. Aug 03, Drown Hollum rated it liked it. Rick Remender is so fucking excited to write Cap like one of his creator owned books, that he immediately thrusts him into an alternate dimension and gives him a computer face tummy virus.

Twelve years pass in the span of five issues, Cap has a son, shit just gets wild here, and for the most part, I can applaud Marvel for doing something weird with such a huge property. So yeah, hooray for outside the box Cap book. Does it work though? I don't think so.

Everything's a little too off-the-wall, and this thing is just riddled with plot holes that rely on you to heavily suspend disbelief for the sake of this weird world that we're in. I mean, it has two suns, gravity is wonky, it's upside-down and topsy turvy, so anything can happen!

Captain America Vol 7 2 | Marvel Database | FANDOM powered by Wikia

It comes off as cheating, in order to tell a way too loaded story, and doesn't drive the character anywhere new. There's some good ol' fashion woman beating tossed in, in the form of childhood Cap flashbacks, and really, if I were to summarize what's happening so far in this book, irresponsible would be my word of choice. Why does Arnim Zola have a magic land of make-believe? Why slap Steve's mom around so much? Sometimes his work is real pretty with inspiring designs.

Other times I'm just totally lost inside the size of somebody's head, or the awful Leifeldian shape of their hair. I put this one over at three stars, because at the end of the day, I enjoyed reading it, and am holding out hope for part 2 to solve some of my grievances. It's weird, and at least unexpected. Maybe Rick and John were just too excited and they can reel it in for the next volume. We'll see, because I already bought it used. Dec 06, Jack Iles rated it liked it. Dimension Z brings something entirely new to the Captain America universe. Not content with fighting modern day super villains, Captain A finds himself thrust into another dimension altogether, teeming with monsters and 'Phrox Warriors.

What has always appealed to me about Captain A's exploits is not the danger he encounters, not the explosive battles, but the indestructible sense of morality. Back on Earth Captain A vanquished enemy after enemy with his pr Dimension Z brings something entirely new to the Captain America universe.

Back on Earth Captain A vanquished enemy after enemy with his prevailing sense of morality. I feel some people misunderstand Captain America, labelling him as a meat-headed soldier. Dimension Z proves that morals are bigger than the man. Even when Steve Rogers is removed from his natural environment he follows his instincts of what is morally right.

Maybe I am reading too much into this, but there will always be opportunities to learn valuable lessons from fictional characters. Jun 01, Christopher rated it really liked it. On top of these well-written characters the situation, as odd as it may seem at first glance, gives Captain America a richer set of stakes than he may have ever seen before, which only serves to assert why he stands for the ideals he champions:
