Steve Rogers: Super Soldier #1


Steve Rogers is back from the dead, but not as Captain America.  He gave up being Captain America to his longtime WWII companion, the resurrected Bucky Barnes.  Instead Steve is the head of the newly reformed S.H.I.E.L.D security taskforce with the help of several super hero groups and individuals.
While meeting with a covert operative Steve discovers that the grandson of the professor that created the Super Soldier serum that was responsible for Steve becoming Captain America has broken the formula of the super serum. 
His contact informs him that the grandson will be putting the serum up for sale to the highest bidders.  Shocked at the prospect, Steve infiltrates the complex where the grandson and the formula are located.  What he finds is not at all what he expects. 
He is confronted by three super soldiers-all of which die when the strain of battle gets too intense.  The wife of the grandson looks identical to a woman Steve loved during WWII and before any questions can be answered someone shoots the grandson to keep him silent.  The mystery deepens.  Included with the Brubaker/Eaglesham Super Soldier story is a reprint of the original Golden Age Captain America origin story.
The main story has me hooked as to who is behind the new Super Soldier serum and what they plan to do with it.  There's a lot of unanswered questions and I plan on being around for the entire run of the Marvel Comics title to find out the answers.
