Ratings and reviews

This is the absolute WORST Captain America story ever written. Spencer, who wrote the brilliant Morning Glories, kills one beloved character for shock value, creates a new character whose power is wishing vomit (not kidding), and betrays EVERYTHING about Captain America through lazy storytelling, moustache twirling, and COMPLETELY disrespecting the foundation of all things Cap by turning the creation of Simon and Kirby, two Jewish kids from NY, into a Nazi. Purchase only if you are insistent on getting angry.

It's a mess and tries too hard to make Captain America the big bad but instead is just an insult.

Definitely an amazing story, especially if you followed Pleasant Hill, etc. The death of The Black Widow was a thrilling segway in the story too!
