Captain America #15 –“They’re Back On US Soil”

**WARNING: POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD**


And so begins not only the end of the current run for the Man Out of Time, but also the eight year run Ed Brubaker has had writing for the Red, White, and Blue clad soldier. Let’s start this off with a slow clap.

This particular issue starts off what is presumable the last arc in the series. It’s a story that has been told and heard many times before; a television personality asking questions that have very obvious answers brings a very trusted public figure into question. While I was initially afraid it would fall into a very cliché place, it did well at giving the beginning of that story and laying out what would put the television host in the right.

Captain America faces a new set of foes, but they fade than a 90s one-hit wonder. Their powers are a bit hokey and come down to materializing man-made weapons, which then work as such.

As the final arc unfolds, it will be an adventure to see if the politics of the world, or the villains of his past and future will take down the great hero.

Last Line…7.5
