Product Description:
In 1940, as America prepared for war, a frail young man volunteered for an experiment that transformed him into the ultimate physical specimen: the American Super-Soldier. Steve Rogers battled Nazis until a freak mishap trapped him in suspended animation for decades. When he awakened, Rogers was truly a man out of time -- though no less committed to fighting the evils of this perilous new era. Now, in the aftermath of 9/11, Cap must come to grips with a changing global landscape. From the ruins of the World Trade Center to the horrors of a small town shaken by terrorism, the star-spangled Super-Soldier is forced to make some hard decisions about his role in the world.

Published at the zenith of the "Hawk" mentality commonly prevalent at the height of "9/11" fever, this book bravely tried to add some gradation to the subject of the "war on terror", then a very black and white issue with most Americans who were (understandably) still stinging from the Sept. 11 attacks.
However, like another reviewer pointed out, the story tries to be all things to all people; solutions to the valid questions the story touches upon (appealing to the left-to-moderate ... Read More

If you like Captain America... don't buy this book. If you enjoy reading something that isn't saturated with political slanting... don't read this book. If you enjoy good art... don't read this book. If you enjoy good writing... don't read this book.
The only reason that I could imagine you would enjoy this book is if you are a bumbling liberal who enjoys watching a beloved comic book hero get pissed on!
This book is utter garbage. I don't want to be told how I should ... Read More

"Captain America's been torn apart
Now he's a court jester
with a broken heart..."
I'm truly puzzled by the reviewers who've labeled this book as "Bush propaganda" ...they must be reading a different story. The story I read certainly isn't right-wing disinformation, it's slanted clearly to the left and it has a very simple, naive, and mildly offensive message: The 9/11 attacks were terrible, but WE HAD IT COMING!
With just a little balance, this could have been ... Read More

Captain America: The New Deal seems to polarize fans who read too deeply into if it is pro-Bush-Politics. I think they've missed the point. The story is Pro-America and against Terrorism. How can you not side with that ideal?
The real problem with the story though is the lack of needed dialogue and story captions. At times the reader is forced to plug in too many key points to the story in order to make sense of it.
The biggest plus to this collection is the artwork. Top ... Read More

Some of the reviewers here have apparently read this book as their first Captain America experience, and are saddened that Cap isn't a right wing hawk, who loves blindly following his goverment above all else. Thankfully, Cap has never been that man. Not since the 1950's where he was revived as a Commie smasher (for three issues before folding) has he been a jingoistic hero. If you've read comics in the last 40 years, this is the Captain America you've always known. A humanist, a lover of liberty, ... Read More
