117. Captain America (2012/2013) #1 ... Marvel ...

Remember our bitching about the relaunches? Well, someone asked us for more up-to-date reviews and here we try to oblige. First up, the last decent run of Captain America was during Brubaker and after that series ended ... the next relaunch lasted less than 2 years or so before this particular run

What they were banging on is John Romita Jr on art! And while he delivers, the entire story is a bit odd. In fact, it almost feels like the oooooooooooolden days of Kirby when Cap actually goes to other dimensions and what-not!

Basically, in this series, Cap gets yanked into Dimension Z (no spoilers because that's the title of the arc) and here things are a bit wobbly or rather very wobbly and Earth and life as we know it is not that anymore. Cap being Cap, he tries to stand up for the down trodden and somewhere along the way, he encountered a kid ... that he ends up protecting ... without knowing who the kid really is or belongs to ...

Also please note that ... time in Dimension Z is potentially different than that in the 616-verse

Will you continue to buy this? I actually don't know ... I tried it on TPB and was less than impressed

Rating: 6/10 (2 points for art)
