Captain America #1

Writer: Mark Waid
Penciler: Ron Garney

Steve is in Japan, where a supervillain is attacking American cultural imperialism. Why, Marvel? Why?.

Also, Lady Deathstrike carves a bowling ball into a flower with her claws, and Sharon is awesome.

So...problematic issue is problematic. Putting that aside I did like how Steve cannot help but get involved when he thinks lives are at risk. It was in character, if not necessarily the best decision he could have made in these circumstances. I'm in agreement with everyone else that Sharon is tops. Her reaction to Cap's return certainly didn't sound like someone suffering from true love, which makes me interested in how her relationship with Steve plays out in this run.
