Captain America, Volume 2: Castaway in Dimension Z, Book 2 (Marvel NOW!)

Captain America (2012-Present) #HC Vol 2


  When we last saw Capt., his adopted son, Ian was kidnapped by Armin Zola and it looked like Steve Rogers was going to die stuck in this pocket universe. Of course, the Sentinel of Liberty preservers- it’s his book and Bucky’s nowhere around to that back the shield. Anyway, Zola manages to brainwash little Ian into becoming Captain America’s worst fan! However, Zola should’ve been spending a little more time on the rest of his family as he’s gained a new ally, but lost his daughter to Captain America’ cause. With the only way out of the little universe slowly moving into our reality, it’s up to Rogers, Zola’s daughter, and an unexpected visit from planet earth to save both realities.

I loved this volume. It was as good if not better than volume 1. The ending was tragically sad and puts Steve Rogers even more out of synch with the 21st century, as 13 years have passed in Dimension Z and only about 1 hour on earth has transpired. The epilogue was kick-ass and made me exclaim, “Oh, hell yeah!” I so want to read more about what happens next. Hopefully, future volumes of this series will explore that.

Worth Consuming!

Rating: 10 out of 10 stars!
