Johnny Blaze is somewhat meandering in the present day Marvel timeline, so it's time for a miniseries with one of his predecessors as the Spirit of Vengeance, killin' Nazis!

In the same month's Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty #13, the partnership of Bucky Barnes and the White Wolf'd dissolved.

The Wolf, transformed by his willing connection to Arnim Zola's Dimension Z, turned the monsters under his command into invaders of Earth.

Bucky, who'd only brought the White Wolf into his " bring down the Century Game, whose players moves' guide the world's currents " scheme because the Wolf had things he needed, confronted him.

The Wolf didn't flinch in the face of the Century Game's Revolution. )

Symbol of Truth #13's conflict is between two on the protagonist side - Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson, previously caught in an explosion in Dimension Z.

The smoke of the blast'd cleared - Sharon Carter and Misty Knight were down, and Steve was pushing on, his Sentinel of Liberty #12 mindset even more so.

Sam tried to get him to " take cover and regroup " - and got a blow he had to raise his shield against.

He was shocked. )

Cold War's a crossover between the two currently running Cap books, Symbol of Truth and Sentinel of Liberty.

It weaves their respective plots - Sam Wilson contending with the work of the White Wolf and Steve Rogers grappling with the Century Game - together with a team-up of the Wolf and Bucky Barnes (almost certainly spun out of MCU!Bucky having " White Wolf " among his nicknames).

In Captain America: Symbol of Truth #11, the White Wolf's schemes had come to an end - he'd fought Sam Wilson and been defeated, taken into the custody of the International Criminal Court.

The Alpha issue opened on him receiving a visitor. )

In issue #10, Roger Aubrey'd freed himself (and spearheaded the freeing of his fellow Invaders) from the clutches of the Mental Organism Designed Only for Control.

MODOC's master, the Power of the Century Game, had responded by flipping his Starpoint from " Control " to " Killing " - and MODOK had in turn killed Roger.

The resolution of the latest move in the world-spanning Century Game was now the Power and MODOK versus the Invaders - Steve Rogers going for the game player, and his comrades going for the chief pawn - in Lower Manhattan, New York City.

The Power caught Steve's shield, thrown at him. )

Issue #7'd ended with AIM taking Lower Manhattan in New York City. It was the next move in the world-spanning Century Game, the one that Bucky Barnes'd broken away from Steve Rogers to join, to end the way he wanted to.

Steve and friends, gathering to prevent that move, were caught off guard. Most of them (excepting Hawkeye and Black Widow, who either couldn't be claimed for multiple issues of a Captain America story or just weren't) were diverted to Baxter Springs, Kansas.

AIM's beekeepers went about their work in issue #8 as if no one'd even tried to forestall them.

They were enthusiastic. )

It's the bridge between that and issue #6 from November 2022 - which'd ended on Bucky Barnes becoming one of the Century Game's five players, the second Revolution in its history.

The man he'd killed to take the role had been the first, at the Game's opening in 1922. Captain America and the Winter Soldier Special #1 opened on Bucky reviewing that moment in time.

' This is what I know. ' he thought, having reviewed the first Revolution's written record.

He knew that that man had met with another. )

Issue #2'd ended with " the Redacted " confronting Steve in Germany, and Bucky confronting Peggy Carter in Madripoor.

The parties concerned were concerned with the Century Game - a game with five players, where the world's the board and everything in it's the pieces.

Bucky and Peggy discussed what sounded like moves in that game, over an interrupted baccarat table.

It wasn't a friendly discussion. )

When I saw that Jamie McKelvie was making a Captain Carter comic, I was moderately interested, but not much more.

Issue #1 was alright, but issue #2 has properly grabbed me.

The Captain! Her name is The Captain! )

I'm reading this at Marvel Unlimited pace so in a month I'll get to find out what happened in May.

CAPTAIN AMERICA #377 is part of the "Streets of Poison" story. Cap gets high on meth and has to give up the Super Soldier Serum to sober up. Yes, there's more to it than that.

Place "Breaking Bad Main Title Theme" by Dave Porter here

It looks like a junkie's needle )

CAPTAIN AMERICA #401 is a "cool down" issue after Operation: Galactic Storm. Cap is in a sulky mood after half the Avengers executed the Supreme Intelligence for using the Nega-Bomb as a genocide weapon on the Kree.
I've posted pages from this issue before, and these pages reflect the friendship between Steve Rogers and Clint Barton. It is a friendship that (it seems) won't get reflected in the Marvel Cinema Universe and seems to have been largely ignored over the decades.

Wish the Falcon would get back )
