For 50 years Steve Rogers lay frozen in suspended animation. Once revived, he took up his old crime-fighting ways and joined the newly formed Ultimates.Between assignments he does work for the United States government-usually on convert military assignments.
His current assignment finds him in North Korea where he, along with a crack military team, are on a search and destroy mission to stop North Korea from having its own super-soldier courtesy of some stolen super soldier serum.
Someone is providing the serum for the right price to whoever wants to purchase it. Unfortunately for Captain America he comes face-to-face with said person-a super soldier that was created during the Vietnam War. He’s stronger, faster and in his own twisted way more patriotic than the Captain and he proceeds to beat the living daylights out of Cap.
But not before he promises Cap that they will meet again and this time he won’t let him live. Writer Jason Aaron and artist Ron Garney turn in a tour de force story that shines a whole new light on the legend of Captain America and what he really stands for. It will be interesting to see what happens when two Captain Americas have their final battle and how their differing takes on patriotism will conflict.
Look for more Captain America titles from Marvel Comics as the premiere of his new summer movie draws near.
