Scott's Take: Captain America Vol 1: Our Secret Wars by Chip Zdarsky, Valerio Schiti (Illustrator), and Ben Harvey (Cover Art)


Captain America Vol 1: Our Secret Wars by Chip Zdarsky,  Valerio Schiti (Illustrator), and Ben Harvey (Cover Art) is a prequel story set shortly after Captain America has just woken up from the ice. Captain America, who feels lost and alone in this new country, has been reactivated by the U.S. Army to join a rescue mission to save hostages in Latveria. The country has recently been taken over by the dictator, Dr. Doom. Alongside a new version of the Howling Commandoes and another new Captain America that had not been referenced before, they and the reactivated Captain America are to link up with the resistance. Then get the hostages. Then get out.

 

At least, that was the mission that Steve was told. Of course, the real mission is not that. Not even close to that.  The government knew that Steve is too honorable for the real mission.

 

This is an action-packed thriller with plenty of violence and character development. The physical volume won’t be out until late er this month, as of right now, you can read the whole volume plus more on the Marvel Unlimited app.

 

There will be a second volume set in the present time of the Marvel Universe and that has not been titled yet. It will tie into the One World Under Doom and Armageddon events. According to various interview on Marvel.Com, as since Doctor Doom has left this reality, Latveria has fallen to pieces as various factions seek to control what Doom has left behind. Red Hulk and the U.S. Army will clash with the Avengers and Steve over what remains. Doom has left nukes and even worse things behind. Not much is known about this Armageddon event other than it is going to have massive ramifications and see a new Avengers team assembled to save the world again as the Jed Mackay team has been disbanded.

As noted, I read this enjoyable book as the individual issues appeared on Marvel Unlimited.
