I read these issues when they first came out and remember being bowled over by them, so different to the previous couple of years of Cap, which I felt had been treading water for a while. Much as I love Mark Gruenwald's work of Squadron Supreme and especially Quasar (the Cosmos in Collision story is still one of my favourite Marvel stories ever, possibly the best Marvel storyline never to have been reprinted), I felt his Cap stories had become stale and thought Mark Waid done a great job at revitalising the title.
ReplyDeleteI've certainly enjoyed reading through this volume so far, DD, so I'd agree with you. The art's okay, but I think I'd have preferred more of a 'John Byrne' style of storytelling, art-wise. And some of the lettering isn't quite up to par, in my opinion. However, these are minor quibbles about an otherwise excellent volume.
