More so than any other author I have read, Rick Remender digs into the character of Steve Rogers and allows us to feel his pain. While many consider the Brubaker run to be the story of Bucky just as much or more so than the story of Steve, Remender truly explores Steve's psyche in a way that I find incredibly interesting. In these issues, we see the toll that Dimension Z has taken on Steve.

He is not as sharp mentally as he normally is, and he relies heavily on support from his friends Falcon and Jet Black. We witness Steve's human side and his capacity to make a mistake.

It's a side of Steve not often seen, but I absolutely love the way Remender shows us that no matter what Steve goes through, he always stands up. Steve Rogers resolves not to lose hope for he and Ian. Steve is suddenly attacked by two of Arnim Zola's mutates. Steve knocks one out with is shield, but the other is about to kill him when he is suddenly bitten in half by "the Thing Beneath the Sand" a giant flesh devouring monster.

The monster buries himself under the sand after his kill. However Steve and the other mutate are captured by other mysterious armored human like creatures. Ian, Steve and the Mutate are taken to the leader of these humanoids. This leader now wields Captain America's mighty shield.

When the Mutate proudly states that he works for Zola, the leader of these human like creatures decapitates him with Captain America's Shield. The leader then puts Ian in a position to decapitate him as well. Captain America was never meant to work in the shadows, skulking around. He's a metaphor for hope. He's meant to be a beacon, not in the spotlight because he is the spotlight. So instead of Brubaker imposing his typically gritty style on Cap an dont get me wrong, I love Ed, just not when he writes capes books we get Remender imposing his hard-as-nails hard-boiled sci-fi on the man.

Which one works better? The one that's closest to the heart of Jack Kirby, of course. Unlike his new Uncanny Avengers book, this isn't just fun. You can feel its pulse. He's really tryin his damnedest to tell a Cap story that's all his without making Cap into something he isn't. Remender understands the heart of the character and that's the most important thing we could ever ask of a writer. Although I could do without the flashbacks to little Steve's past, they're short and over in an instant. Otherwise, this book fires on all cylinders.

Totally against the grain for what we have been seeing in the Captain America books over the last decade or so and still hitting all the right notes for the character. Internal monologue drives this arc and it is all so spot on it made me giddy.

Marvel Now review: Captain America Castaway in Dimension Z Book 1

John Romita Jr doesn't put his best foot forward in this, though. I know his style's changed a bit since the glory days, but it feels too wispy. I need darker, harder inks. I need more shadows. Ever since he did the 'Celestials' art for Gaiman it just hasn't felt the same. It feels a little too hollow. If he'd only beef it up, this book would be unstoppable.

Because he's the perfect artist with the perfect style to accompany Remender on his fabulously strange odyssey. Aug 03, Drown Hollum rated it liked it. Rick Remender is so fucking excited to write Cap like one of his creator owned books, that he immediately thrusts him into an alternate dimension and gives him a computer face tummy virus. Twelve years pass in the span of five issues, Cap has a son, shit just gets wild here, and for the most part, I can applaud Marvel for doing something weird with such a huge property. So yeah, hooray for outside the box Cap book.

Does it work though? I don't think so. Everything's a little too off-the-wall, and this thing is just riddled with plot holes that rely on you to heavily suspend disbelief for the sake of this weird world that we're in. I mean, it has two suns, gravity is wonky, it's upside-down and topsy turvy, so anything can happen! It comes off as cheating, in order to tell a way too loaded story, and doesn't drive the character anywhere new. There's some good ol' fashion woman beating tossed in, in the form of childhood Cap flashbacks, and really, if I were to summarize what's happening so far in this book, irresponsible would be my word of choice.

Why does Arnim Zola have a magic land of make-believe? Why slap Steve's mom around so much? Sometimes his work is real pretty with inspiring designs.

Captain America, Volume 1: Castaway In Dimension Z, Book One by Rick Remender

Other times I'm just totally lost inside the size of somebody's head, or the awful Leifeldian shape of their hair. I put this one over at three stars, because at the end of the day, I enjoyed reading it, and am holding out hope for part 2 to solve some of my grievances. It's weird, and at least unexpected. Maybe Rick and John were just too excited and they can reel it in for the next volume. We'll see, because I already bought it used.

Not content with fighting modern day super villains, Captain A finds himself thrust into another dimension altogether, teeming with monsters and 'Phrox Warriors. What has always appealed to me about Captain A's exploits is not the danger he encounters, not the explosive battles, but the indestructible sense of morality. Back on Earth Captain A vanquished enemy after enemy with his pr Dimension Z brings something entirely new to the Captain America universe.

Back on Earth Captain A vanquished enemy after enemy with his prevailing sense of morality. I feel some people misunderstand Captain America, labelling him as a meat-headed soldier. Dimension Z proves that morals are bigger than the man. Even when Steve Rogers is removed from his natural environment he follows his instincts of what is morally right. Maybe I am reading too much into this, but there will always be opportunities to learn valuable lessons from fictional characters. Jun 01, Christopher rated it really liked it.

On top of these well-written characters the situation, as odd as it may seem at first glance, gives Captain America a richer set of stakes than he may have ever seen before, which only serves to assert why he stands for the ideals he champions: Mar 08, Ryan rated it liked it Shelves: Never read any Captain America comics before. He, to me , is the most boring super hero that Marvel churned out. But this series looked pretty cool. Accessible, because you don't have to know any back story and drawn well by Romita Jr. The plot is basically: I love weird fiction and this does qualify.

  • There is no point to any of them. The main antagonist is a cool old Kirby design with no head and a hologram face. But his motivations are stupid. If the bad guys had an actual purpose, this book would have been perfect. Jun 15, Joe rated it really liked it. This was a fun romp that reminds me why there will always be a place for comic books.

Shades of the Franken-Castle storyline from the Punisher, this might be just a bit too strange a story to really get behind. I like Remender's work, especially on X-Force, but exiling Steve Rogers to another dimension, one ruled by his arch foe, Arnim Zola, is really out there. And I can't look at John Romita, Jr. It's just a bit too cartoony for something that is supposed to be taken seriously.

Jul 07, Jason rated it liked it Shelves: His faces are too angular and block-like and he can't draw children. I'm constantly distracted by their HUGE heads.

    BUT the unfamiliar environment was very interesting and the flow of the story was smooth and the plot kept me guessing. I was shocked and dismayed that the volume ended on such a cliffhanger! I'll definitely be checking out the next one. I'm curious to see how this all resolves. Feb 18, Emmett Spain rated it liked it. Holy hell, that was weird.
