    In today's Captain America, good old Steve visits my country; he goes to the Atacama Desert (in the comic, it says "the driest in South America", but I think it's the driest in the world) to rescue a man from the clutches of Death. As Death can't directly interfere, it uses the life of the President's son, that hangs in the balance due to sickness, to get soldiers to deal with Captain America and his new-found partner. Fun to think about it, as the current president of Chile is 38 years old, single, and has no offspring.

    Jesus Saiz is back, so the comic looks beautiful, there's a penguin and a cool twist at the end. Overall, a good issue , I enjoyed it a lot.

    Jed Mackay should write more Steve.

    Yes. Yes, he should. I especially loved his part in Mackay's Black Cat series, during the tie-in to the King in Black saga, where Felicia remarked to herself that for all her cynicism, only Cap could get her to genuinely believe just from hearing him speak, even if only for a moment. Somewhat reminded me of the 90s Spider-Man animated series' take on Secret Wars, in which she wanted to get to know Captain America better out of curiosity for the original Super-Soldier. (Yes, 90s animated Spider-Man had Black Cat gain her powers from a recreation of Project Rebirth's Super-Soldier Serum, for those who didn't know.)

    I liked this issue as well. There were all of these quirky, fascinating moments that made me stop and think. The character with the tattoo saying how we are all mutants. The performances at the Cabaret. Those were cool. There was some subtext in that as well. Here is Steve Rogers who's this epitome of a the status quo white, male hero. And yet, he accepts and is open to all of these quirky elements around him. Now, we've seen this before. Steve looks like the idealized "ubermench" but instead of oppressing others, he liberates and uplifts. It shouldn't surprise us that he's open and accepting of others considering who his allies have been throughout the Marvel Universe. However, this issue just reinforces all of that.

    In any case, there was also a good amount of action here. I said before that this isn't a typical story where Steve punches Nazis, but he is punching out soldiers.

    JMS pulled a good balance here. I like where this story is going.

    Indeed. That subtext you bring up is the core of the quintessential Steve Rogers.

    Actually, the poles are even more dry. It's so cold there that water does not evaporate and does not form clouds, so there's hardly any rain at all, ever. The Atacama desert is the driest desert of those that fit the conventional popular idea of a desert (an incredibly hot and sunny place). So yes, the comic was right the way they wrote it.

    This current story line just screams for Steve to have some back up from some old and maybe some new partners.

    "Hey...you have to go to South America. Then you have to go to London. Then maybe some other places." How about splitting up the work.
    All I wanted was to be unconditionally loved while never having to work on my flaws. Is that so much to ask?

    Yeah, that would be a cool idea.

    If it weren’t for MCU Cap and Chris Evans’ wonderful portrayal, I’d be inclined to agree.

    Fair enough. EMH Cap can be the best animated adaptation of Captain America, and MCU/Chris Evans' Cap can be the best live-action portrayal. No reason they can't be regarded as equally great.

    I think animated Cap in EMH and MCU Cap are about even in my opinion.
