Finished reading Captain America: Steve Rogers: Hail Hydra, with the events of Standoff behind him and and finding himself back in a younger body, Steve Rogers becomes Captain America once again. The book opens with Sharon Carter at a committee hearing about the new tactics that Hydra is using as she is in charge of a fraction of S.H.I.E.L.D. along with Steve Rogers back as Captain America taking the lead in tackling Hydra head on. The next story is used a an interlude to show how the the revelation of Steve being an agent of Hydra and how it happened before continuing with the main story. The rest of the book deals with Steve setting up his own base of operations along with Doctor Selvig as and begin to map out there own plans for Hydra. Meanwhile the events of Civil War II have come to the superhero community as the Inhuman Ulysses may cause a problem with Steve's plans with Hydra thanks to Ulysses abilities to see the future. Overall this was amazing book as writer Nick Spencer brings Steve Rogers back into the Captain America mantle with an intriguing twist that makes some great story telling with the direction the story is going and how Steve interacts with the other heroes of the Marvel universe seem unaware on whats going within Steve's life. The book does an amazing job in giving exposition to the goings on of the book with what lead to Steve becoming a Hydra agent and how the events of Civil War II have affected and even been manipulated to a degree by Steve while still making the book extremely intriguing and still all part of the book. The artwork of throughout the book is amazing as the book is able to bring the more character driven moments to life just as well as the great action set pieces with the flashback scenes having their own unique aesthetic thanks to the changing colour palette. While the art for Civil War II parts of the book does an amazing job in emulating the look and feel of the main series while also bring its own feel. 9/10.
