Book of Doom: Captain America #22
The Doomino Effect (PATENT PENDING) continues this week, as one of the Legion picks a book and everyone else falls in line.
This week, it’s Captain America #22:
CIVIL WAR TIE-IN!
The first of a 3-part Civil War tie-in by Ed Brubaker and Mike Perkins!
While Cap has fallen into the conflict of the Civil War, in a clash with his government and his friends, the people close to him have suffered in their own ways. In Part One of “The Drums of War” we take a look inside S.H.I.E.L.D., and how Cap’s girlfriend Agent 13’s life is torn apart as her divided loyalties are used against her by her superiors. Also, a new villain emerges, and the Red Skull begins to make himself known.
I picked this one. I knew it was a new arc, so I figured it’d be an easy enough jumping-on point for our non-Cap reading Doomies…I just didn’t realize when I picked it that it was a Civil War tie-in. Sorry ’bout that, you War-hating pacifists.
But be back here this weekend for the compiled thoughts on Captain America #22, courtesy of your friendly geographically-dispersed Legion of Doom.
Doomino Effect? Worst (see: best) pun ever?
Doomino Effect…I like it. Much better than my lame-o “Book of the Week” name.
I’m not a pacifist. I support the troops, I just disagree with the justification for war, dammit.
