Captain America: The Iron Nail Review

Finished reading Captain America: The Iron Nail, this continues writer Rick Remender's Captain America series as Cap comes face to face with new villains, Dr Mindbubble and the Iron Nail. The book opens up with Jet Black trying to get used to living in New York with Captain America after being raised on the ideals of her father Arnim Zola in Dimension Z. After noticing a couple of thugs beating up a shop owner Jet helps him only to be seen by one of Red Skull's S Men, Tsar Sultan who tries to get Jet to join the Red Skull cause. The rest of the book has Dr Mindbubble using his mind controlling bubbles to take over the S.H.I.E.L.D facility that he was freed from by the Iron Nail. Who used the previously captured Nuke in order to to gain access to S.H.I.E.L.D's largest and most advanced Helicarrier called the Gungnir. With the escape of Dr Mindbubble and the death of Nuke, Maria Hill calls in Captain America to help with the escalating situation. Overall this was a decent book as it continues the series nicely by dealing with the Iron Nails plans that were put into fruition at the end of the previous book in the series. The focus story of Jet Black was good as it dived into the characters thoughts and feelings of living in a different world to what she was brought up in. The story with the Iron Nail and Dr Mindbubble felt incredibly short due to both characters jumping headlong in to their plan straight away turning the book into an action heavy set piece which allows artist Nic Klein to design some great action scenes from Captain America and Falcon fighting against S.H.I.E.L.D ground troops and vehicles to several Helicarriers and planes battling in the sky. 6/10.
