Captain America: The Tomorrow Solider Review



Finished reading Captain America: The Tomorrow Solider, this concludes writer Rick Remender's first Captain America series as the book wraps up the series overarching story that started at the beginning. The book opens with a depowered and aged Steve Rogers recovering from his encounter with the Iron Nail earlier in the series as Maria Hill and Nick Fury debrief him at Avengers Mansion. Meanwhile over in Central Park a portal to Dimension Z opens up as Arnim Zola and his army of hyperevoled mutants come through along with Zola's own fortress. Back at the mansion the Avengers encounter an intruder who breaks in by bypassing the security systems and evading the Avengers attack to find Steve in hoping to get his help to finally defeat Zola after revealing himself to be Ian Rogers, Steve's son who was thought to be dead when when he escaped from Dimension Z. The last story featured in the book is by animator Bruce Timm adapting a short Captain America story Stan Lee wrote in 1941. Overall this was a good book as it wrapped up the series strongly while giving Steve Rogers a new role within the Marvel universe. The reappearance of Ian Rogers and Sharan Carter into the book brings some shocks and twists on some characters discussions within the book. While the relationship between Falcon and Zola's daughter, Jet, becomes increasingly intriguing as their relationship is tested throughout. The short story was a nice addition to the book as it felt like a great animated short with a very strong story backing it. 7/10.
