Letto il #18

Mi è piaciuto come sempre, anche se questa tirannia da parte del "nuovo" Cap. sta cominciando a starmi sulle balle, il voler comandare il mondo come unica forza ed il rifiuto di sottomettersi da parte di

Bellissimo numero, Spencer è riuscito a rendere Cap estremamente temibili, considerando quello che sta cercando di fare con SE, era qualcosa di essenziale, ma è anche molto pericoloso, o meglio, molto difficile da gestire.
Come caraterizzazione dei pg, direi che ci siamo, anche se non approvo ogni singola decisione creativa, però capisco che per forza di cose, è costretto a muovere le pedine in un certo modo.

Di conseguenza, mi dispiace vedere Namor in questo modo, e adoro quello che ha fatto T'challa.
Pg come Namor, BP, Magneto, sono quelli che mostrano le palle, che non sono mai disposti ad abbassare la testa di fronte a nabbi come Hydra Cap, ma anche loro hanno i loro limiti, ci tengono troppo al proprio popolo, Steve non ha un cazz da perdere sotto questo punto di vista.
Se non ha niente da perdere, non ha paura.
Se non teme più niente, perde la grinta, ed è qui che cade.
Come ho detto più volte, il suo piano, questo Secret Empire, è destinato a fallire, ora le solicits hanno spoilerato il mondo intero, non mi aspettavo di vedere subito il buon vecchio Cap, francamente sono un po' deluso.
Ma stiamo a vedere....

Captain America: Steve Rogers #18
Written by Nick Spencer and Donny Cates
Art by Javier Pina, Andres Guinaldo and Rachelle Rosenberg
Lettering by Joe Caramagna
Published by Marvel Comics
Review by Robert Reed
'Rama Rating: 7 out of 10
Steve Rogers addresses the world as Hydra continues its takeover in Captain America: Steve Rogers #18. With a tense script by Nick Spencer and Donny Cates and artwork by Javier Pina, Andres Guinaldo, and Rachelle Rosenberg, the newest issue in the series takes a look at some of the larger ramifications of the series on the world and just how some of Marvel's other rulers respond to the new changes.
The issue mainly revolves around Steve Rogers addressing the United Nations. The plot comes to a head when the Black Panther appears in the issue, interrupting Steve's address. In contrast to the previous issue, Captain America: Steve Rogers #18 is concerned with the effects of Hydra's takeover around the globe, and so it's nice to see the matter of Marvel's fictional countries addressed - in particular, Wakanda. Considering that Ta-Nehisi Coates has T'Challa struggling with identity and leadership in his own book, it's nice to see a return of the man who once plunged the world's economy just to foil one of his foes. Whether by intent or serendipity, T'Challa is having a bit of a moment in the world right now, and it's nice to see him get such a strong showing in an event. It will be interesting to see how he serves as an antagonist for the villainous Captain America moving forward.
Bookending the issue is Namor, another of Marvel's monarchs. Namor reflects on his past with Steve Rogers as members of the original Invaders, up through the present where he now finds himself at odds with one of his closest friends and allies. It's an interesting choice, and it contrasts Wakanda's endurance with Atlantis's fall. However, Namor's inability to keep Hydra at bay isn't actually shown in this issue, but instead simply acknowledged, leaving readers to search out other books in the Secret Empire crossover to fill in the blanks. While the point of a crossover is to invite readers to explore other books, it's unfortunate when cases like Captain America: Steve Rogers #18 occur and the emotional core of the issue requires knowledge of events that happened elsewhere.
Unfortunately, the artwork by Javier Pina and Andres Guinaldo is inconsistent, at times even within a scene. The narrative draws readers to not only the Wakandan borders, but to Paris and China, allowing for cameos from characters that Nick Spencer developed back in Avengers World. Pina and Guinaldo transition between these settings and the United Nations fairly well, however not every image lands.
Though the pair handle Namor's somber contemplativeness well, when T'Challa interrupts Steve's press conference, Rogers appears to age almost 40 years, gaining jowls and an aged brow. It's seemingly a mishap, trying to capture the rage and surprise of the situation, but it doesn't hit the mark and becomes a distraction during the scene. These inconsistencies and omissions in the artwork and story hamper what might have been an excellent issue.
Captain America: Steve Rogers #18 provides a great overview of Hydra's global conquest and a nice appearance from Black Panther - but the issue's emotional depth lies with Namor's loss, and it's unfortunate that Nick Spencer and Donny Cates didn't play into that a little more here. For readers following the event or this series, picking up this issue seems a no-brainer. For those who aren't, there are frankly better entry points.

Che scena...

[Man of Steel]

Letto #19
Detesto vedere Odinson ridotto in quella maniera...di conseguenza ho odiato Steve, stessa ragione per cui a volte...Jane mi sta "antipatica"...
Quindi che dire, Spencer sta facendo il suo lavoro su Cap, tutto dipenderà dal finale e questa "guerra" non so cosa abbia intenzione di fare, ma non promette bene per nessuno, nemmeno per Steve.
P.S. Anche questo numero era co-scritto da Cates.

[Azrael]

Much like Captain America: Sam Wilson, the Steve Rogers Cap book isn't necessarily essential reading for Secret Empire. That said, it does offer some insight into Steve's further descent into all-out villainy. The highlights of the issue are Steve's verbal confrontation with the real Thor and the unrepentant Sharon Carter. On both occasions, Steve's words leave the impression of a man who has given up on trying to get everyone to love him and his new regime. It's too bad that the art by Javier Pina and Andres Guinaldo isn't up to the challenge of making this issue an easy read. The differences between Pina and Guinaldo's art styles mean that the issue has no consistent visual tone, and the opening pages are particularly difficult to look at. It's harder to justify this issue as a single purchase, but there is a chance that it will play better as part of the eventual trade paperback. -Blair

Final Score:

6.8/10

Veramente un bel numero, mi ha emozionato parecchio!
Spencer, come al solito, parla molto, ma a differenza di Bendis, i suoi monologhi spaccano di brutto! (vedi quello di Steve, o anche Emma!).
Solitamente rispetta la continuity e la caratterizzazione dei pg, non sempre mi piace, ma tutto sommato...
Ora io non seguo ogni fottuto tie in di questo maxi evento, ricordo di aver letto qualcosa sulla morte di

Yep, he's back!
Oh e quel piccolo GRANDE colpo di scena con un...Inumano(? che domande...) era..erm..troppo banale per i miei gusti...
Spencer voleva essere ironico?
Vabbo, onestamente pure io sto iniziando a stancarmi con SE (e mi sta piacendo molto eh!) quindi se vuole usare questi trucchetti per guadagnare tempo, ok...

The first thing that has to be said about Captain America #25 is that it has great art by Jesus Saiz and Joe Bennett. Their pages capture the best aspects of modern superheroes with nods to the past. Even if it didn't have a strong script, this issue would have been worth it for these pages alone. This feels like classic Marvel, and it's done very well. As for the story, it did not feature the long-awaited face off between Hydra Cap, Steve Rogers and his former partner, Sam Wilson. However, it does offer a very compelling look at the two men, as they give perhaps the speeches of their lives. That's a particular talent that Spencer hasn't always shown, but it worked magnificently here. The twists in this issue were also well-executed, although the Inhuman known as Barf is still ridiculously stupid. If the entire Secret Empire story hinges upon what Barf just barfed up then it would be a major letdown. The rest of the issue was so good that we're going to let that go...for now. -Blair
