Captain America #37 Review

I felt a little cheated with how Brubaker handled the Steve Rogers reveal from last issue. I expected it to be followed up on early and a little more thorugh than what we got here. In fact, he ended this issue with pretty much the same cliffhanger as last time, with Sharon confronting the Steve Rogers clone as it wakes up.

Did I say clone? Well, it's not confirmed, but Sharon says it's not Steve, yet he says he's Steve Rogers. It doesn't look like our Cap, at least not the way Epting has typically drawn Steve.

The rest of the issue revolved around Bucky getting more approval from the super-hero community, mainly Hawkeye and Falcon, one after the other, as they visit his apartment to have words with him. We also see the Red Skull setting up his own candidate for the presidency by manufacturing his "solutions" to all the chaos the Skull initiated, winning him a great deal of public approval.

Personally, I'm getting a little impatient with this storyline. I understand why it's being done and I know this will read so much better in a trade, but aside from one or two issues, ever since Bucky took over as Cap, it feels like we're watching paint dry.

Verdict - Check It
