August's iFanboy Book of the Month reclaims Captain America and proves you can't keep a good soldier down!
Marvel Comics' Captain America: Operation Rebirth is iFanboy's August 2008 Book of the Month! The 1990s was a bad time for heroes. The audience wanted "dark" and "gritty" characters who were more "anti-heroes" than anything else. That was no place for a man from the 1940s who wore the United States flag on his chest! While characters like The Punisher flourished, Captain America languished. That is, until Mark Waid and Ron Garney got their hands on him and reminded everyone why Captain America was the best hero that Marvel had. Read Conor's full review here!
