Marketed to readers as yet another Deadpool book, Captain America: Who Won't Wield the Shield was anything but that. Sure it has Deadpool on the cover, and has a short Deadpool story on the inside, but it is by no mean the main focus of the book.
The main story is actually pretty funny, featuring a number of Marvels most popular writers; Jason Aaron, Matt Fraction, Ed Brubaker, and Brian Bendis.
The book tells a few different stories aside from the main story, such as a psychedelic Captain America story that makes you feel like you just took a hit of acid.
This is definitely worth checking out, it had some good laughs, good writing, and was a fun read in general.
And Since it was almost Deadpool free it may even be Kevin Falkenberg approved!

ReplyDeleteThe first selling point is that it's partly written by Jason Aaron, and he's just a madman. I also love how it is probably the nerdiest book I've read in a long time. There are so many "nerd nudges" and in-jokes that it almost makes me shake my head. Hell, there are jokes about Fraction that pretty much nobody would understand unless they followed him on Twitter.
And I can even tolerate the Deadpool segment!
