114. Captain America vol 4 #1 ... Marvel ...

I think I got the volume right but with all the relaunches, who really knows! It's a good thing we can post pics. Otherwise ... ugh!

Anyway, after all the many launches and relaunches, ups and downs, Marvel brought in a unique writer. John N R - for me, he was the Vertigo chap so for him to do CA, it was unique. How is he going to do the action sequences? Well, here in the first issue, he shows us. Unfortunately, he is partnered with Cassaday and while Cassaday for some reason is hot property in today's comics, for me, he is a better cover artist and pin up than actually in story telling as there is a certain stiffness to his artwork. But anyway ...

This here is a story told in one issue. More or less

What do we mean?

Well, here you have a dire situation developing. So what do we do? We sent in Cap and he cleans house more or less. Naturally, to get you coming back for more, there is a sort of backstory plot to develop this into a first full arc but if you read this, you will still come out of it satisfied

I don't want to say too much about this particular first story and arc in view of the fact that the so-called villains on surface is related to religion/ politics and in view of today's world situation when I am typing this, well, less said the better

But it is a lovely cover though, right?
