The first issue of this new Captain America series stirred up no small amount of controversy thanks to the reveal that Steve Rogers has supposedly been a Hydra agent for his entire adult life. Perhaps wisely, writer Nick Spencer wastes no time in peeling back the curtain and getting to the heart of that major reveal. Issue #2 offers an in-depth look at Cap's new status quo and proves that the twist is just one piece in a larger puzzle Spencer has been building since his Captain America run began last year.
Spencer's script in issue #2 unfolds entirely in flashback form. While it's a bit disappointing that we don't see the immediate fallout of Cap's betrayal, this does allow Spencer the chance to tackle the story from the point of view of the Red Skull. By the end, readers have a much better understanding of what Skull's latest master plan involves and what exactly has happened to Steve Rogers. For once, it's nice to simply have answers instead of months of slow build-up and false starts. And again, it immediately becomes clear how this vast conspiracy plays into Spencer's larger run and why this is an opportunity to explore Steve Rogers' innate heroic qualities rather than besmirching his good name.
