Intro
As I read the Captain America series, I really liked the
interesting take of putting Captain America in a whole new world and having the
responsibility of having and losing a child. It really puts an edge and makes
him realize that raising a child is just as hard as being a superhero. We also get to learn about a new interesting
character name Jet Black. She a young teenage woman who still doesn’t
understand the two worlds she lived in are one and the same. We also see the
struggles and the emotion toll Captain America has to deal with losing a child
he considered his own and learning to cope with it. This issue we explore more
on Jet Black perspective of how she views the new world she’s in. It’s really
one aspect you should look at.
Story
Jet Black is off exploring a new world that she doesn’t
quite understand. Plus, she meets an old nemesis of Captain America that
installs a new fear of understanding.
The Good
It seems we are learning more about Jet Black on how
different she views this world compared to hers. The issue does really good job
of seeing from her perspective and she feels as an outsider. It really shows
how young she is and still learning to grow up.
The art looks very beautiful especially with the use of snow
and action. She has very neat poses as she roof tops from building to building.
The art give a very solid detail and makes everything look so fluid. You can also see what’s going on with the
characters and the action. But sadly the good art is only temporarily.
The Bad
What I meant by temporary is the art at the second half
really grows into an ugly turn. It starts to look really muddled and less
detailed. It looks like the art got very rushed at the end. It’s very weird because you see all this
pretty art in the beginning and turns into ugliness too quickly at the end.
This issue may seem like a bad jumping on point because there is no flashback
to what happened in the previous issues instead it explains it in words. But I
don’t think it matters because the .NOW titles come with a volume of issues
that leads to the story for free.
Verdict
I give this issue a 4.5/9.5 out of 5/10 stars. It’s a really
great issue that adds character to Jet Black. We are getting to know more about
her and seeing how much of a flawed individual she is. The art is really
beautiful with great snowy effects but suddenly by the very end it turns muddy
and rushed. But if you really want to learn about Jet Black then I suggest you
really get it. This is a really good series that expands Captain America
emotions in a new level which is worth picking up.
