Classic story with the 1st Appereance of Steve Rogers after the Golden Age.
And what a great cover! You feel that Cap is taken directly the leadership of the Avengers. |

That's exactly what I was waiting for! The Cap ready to strike back after several years out of business. And it's not only due to him that the issue is great: the well-polished characters show the extra care Kirby took with this mag, and the sharing is not unbalanced - sure, Steve is big news, but the rest get a piece of cake into the final battle. Outstanding. |

Classic story with a lot of historical value, but that damn teen brigade and Cap’s relationship with Bucky…er…Rick threatened to bring it down for me. |

Couldn't go wrong with such an awesome cover.
Look out, Iron Man is giving orders to himself!!
Hmmm, it seems that Cap. ... er.. like young boys!
Very good issue, also liked the boy pondering about Hulk. Is he leaving in NY now? |

Now that is some quality writing!
The moment where Cap comes out of hibernation might be the most poignant moment of the whole reading order thus far. |

It all started very good, but then comes Stan with that reocurring magnetism crap.... And then there's Captain's sick relationship with young boys. . . |

Heh, I like how the Cap finally made an appearance. But it looks like the more characters get developed the worse the wasp gets- I'm hating her more and more each issue. "Powdering her nose" indeed... |

I don't know much about WWII history and all, but did Stan just decide Newfoundland is a part of Europe? The facts: they're in the ETO (European Theater of Operations) army base, Bucky grabs onto the drone, Cap tries but falls off right away, drone explodes in the air above Cap, Cap landed in the water off the coast of Newfoundland. Hmm...
Aside from that, great issue! Epic, even. I'm thinking Captain America is going to become one of my better-liked characters (more so than the other current Avengers, at least).
And to those of you making the "young boys" comments... please grow up. You have to *really* try if you're going to read that into it. It's not there, and it's not funny. |

Solid issue! You can tell Stan and Jack took their time with this one.
* Stan's still desperately trying to give Rick Jones a reason to exist.
* I LOVE Cap's first line after he wakes up. That's a Stan Lee career writing highlight, in my opinion.
* How about Broccoli Man? That's the beauty of the Silver Age. You can be reading a totally awesome story, then suddenly, ALIENS.
* I've always daydreamed about being in a situation similar to Cap's. What would it be like to just be "out" for a few years/decades? What would change? Who would be President? What's going to replace Facebook? When will the movie industry try to trick us all into thinking 3D is anything but a worthless gimmick, again? |

Definitely have to agree with Safis on the "young boy" part. Anyone who honestly believes pedophilia is in any way, shape, or form insinuated by this issue is really reaching. Honestly, this ridiculous line of thinking only fuels the "every man is a potential pedophile" crap that's been around in the last decade. |

Nice Silver Age introduction for Captain America. I feel that whole alien subplot could have and should have been left out. But none the less, good issue. |

Good to see Cap join the team, I think his presence will really improve the dynamics of the Avengers.
Also, Safis++, even without Silver Age context you guys are really reaching. |

Finally a great Avengers issue. Love the cover, loved seeing Cap and Namor in the same story, loved the battle at the end...just all around a great issue.
Broccoli Man (thanks, Ice) was delightful, and I liked the recon of him being Medusa.
The last thing Cap remembers before waking up is seeing his teenage fighting partner die and being completely helpless to do anything about it, yet when he has a reaction to Rick after only being awake again for a few hours, it's "creepy." That's reaching, and absurd. Stop that. |

Loved this, one of the best so far. Although I did like others wonder how they teleported from Europe to Newfoundland. |

Ignoring the fact that cap somehow seems to be the best guessed in the world (he wasn't conscious when he was in the ice, so he the hell did he guess the Eskimo bit!) this is one of the least plot hole ridden stories stan wrote.
While not wanting to jump into the whole 'cap likes boys' argument, I do find it annoying that at this time when the character isn't a young male, the writers seem insistent that there must be a young male involved in order to get the reader empathising with the story. Maybe it was like that in the 60s, but now it just feels really hard to read. |

Liked seeing Cap return. Broccoli Man. Nuff said. Teen brigade is really annoying. Am I not supposed to wonder where Rick Joneses parents are?! "Hi Mom and Dad I'm running off with this big green man that saved my life and now I'm with Cap cuz he's creepy." My understanding of that unseen conversation. |
