Another great Captain America graphic novel,
By
This review is from: Captain America Volume 4: Cap Lives TPB: Cap Lives v. 4 (Captain America (Quality Paper)) (Paperback)
It's March 1964, and a submarine in the North Atlantic finds a body frozen in a block of ice, the body of Captain America, America's hero who disappeared some twenty years earlier. And, what comes as a great shock is that he isn't dead, Captain America is alive. But...it's Captain America who gets the surprise - he's aboard a U-Boat, the war ended with a triumphant Nazi Germany! Taken to New Berlin (formerly New York City), Cap sees America under the iron boot of the Red Skull. He fought for freedom in the 40s, and it's time to pick up the fight again! This is another great Captain America graphic novel. The artwork is great, and the story line is gripping! To reflect how the world changed, Cap runs into people new to him, but not to us, people such as Ben Grimm, Reed Richards and Peter Parker, but in the new history they never became superheroes. Yep, this is a great book, one that my ten-year-old son loved every bit as much as I did. We both highly recommend this book to you.

Entertaining if somewhat cliched.,

This review is from: Captain America Volume 4: Cap Lives TPB: Cap Lives v. 4 (Captain America (Quality Paper)) (Paperback)
Captain America.If you haven't heard of him then this is probably not a good jumping on point. In fact I would normally consider him to be the type of hero that we can do without. US flag draped around his chest, he is at once all that is good and bad about america. (He has a good heart, but everything seems to be resolved in simple black and white terms usually with his fists) The only reason I was at all tempted to read this was that it was written by Dave Gibbons. Dave Gibbons came to the forefront of the comics industry in the late 80's as the illustrator of 'The Watchmen' and other high quality graphic novels and series. He has since turned is hand to writing (and did not illustrate this book). I'm not familiar with Lee Weeks work, but it is pretty good both in terms of page composition and in the quality of the drawing itself. The story is set in an alternative past (alternative to the normal Marvel mythos) and picks up with Captain America being rescued from the icy waters of the North Atlantic by a submarine, 20 years after he disappeared in 1944 or early 45 (I can't remember and honestly it doen't really matter).

Skip it..,
By M. Ryan Murphy - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Captain America Volume 4: Cap Lives TPB: Cap Lives v. 4 (Captain America (Quality Paper)) (Paperback)
Out of the five existing Captain America Marvel Knights volumes, this is by far the worst and completely unacceptable. It is a ridiculous "What If.." story that is completely out of continuity and not at all up to Marvel Knights standards.
I guess you can say it pays homage to the old school Cap stories but honestly it is so different then Rieber's work on the other three previous volumes that it can annoy the reader. If you're a fan of Marvel's "What If.." stories then this is for you, if not, skip it and go straight to the fifth volume. |
