Finished reading All-New Captain America: Hydra Ascendant, this begins Sam Wilsons adventures as the all new Captain America as writer Rick Remender puts the new Captain America against Hydra and a who's who of his predecessors rogues. The book opens up with Sam Wilson and his falcon Redwing breaking into a Hydra base were he meets up with the former Captain America's son Ian, as the two find themselves up against a large group of Captain America's villains. As the two fight the villains they also try to prevent Hydra from using the blood of a young Inhuman named Lucas which Hydra have developed into a bomb using Lucas' blood as it makes humans sterile. Overall this was a good book as writer Rick Remender does a great job in making Sam the new Captain America as he fits into the role perfectly as he makes it his own which is partly helped by Steve Rogers career overshadowing Sam. The use of the flashbacks and internal monologues and thoughts of Sam throughout the book is great as it helps to give him some great character development and also helps to show how good Sam is for the role of Captain America thanks to his past and his mentality. The art is great as artist Stuart Immonen draws great action scenes that work perfectly in each different location characters find themselves in while the team of colourists do a great job in setting the tone of the book and differentiating between the flashbacks and the main story. 7.5/10.
