Marvel is making the unprecedented move of publishing two simultaneous, ongoing Captain America comics from the same writer. With both Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson sharing the mantle of Captain America, perhaps that's the only way to give each hero his proper due. But with a creative team as strong as this one, does Marvel really need an excuse to launch a new series?
Captain America: Steve Rogers #1 builds very closely on the events of the Avengers: Standoff crossover. Perhaps a little too closely, as this issue's main flaw is its predictable structure. This is a fairly standard first chapter, as writer Nick Spencer introduces the characters, re-establishes Steve's status quo and sets the stage for bigger conflicts to come. There's a pretty heavy dose of exposition-driven narration, which wouldn't be quite so bad if Spencer's Standoff chapters didn't also go out of their way to recap recent events in Cap's world. Appealing to new readers is all fine and well, but at some point you have to trust that they'll be able to dive into the pool and stay afloat on their own.
