Finally, a 90s Captain
America story I like- no make that love! Captain American and Serpent Society
member Diamondback are sent on an epic quest to find 5 shards of the
Bloodstone. Their competitors in this race is Baron Nemo (II) and his hired
help of Batroc The Leaper.
The book reads like a James Bond movie going from
exotic locale to exotic locale. There’s fun, spills, sex, and just a little bit
of imagination. Also included is a two-part story that ties up some loose ends
involving Crossbones and why he’s been so hell-bent on retrieving the stones
too!

It’s a fantastic book that
I found recently on steep discount at one of my favorite comic shops. I enjoyed
just about all of it. The art was excellent. The story was very good. I just
felt that chapter one was way too short. It was just a prologue, but I would
have loved to read the Captain America Jr. story that was featured in the back
of that issue as well.
At least this gives me
hope that more of Capt’s stories during the 90s was of this high quality and it
inspires me to search out further adventures.
Worth Consuming.
Rating 9 out of 10 stars.
