3.5 stars
"I doubt if any of them will be moving for a while." -- Captain America, after fighting the bad guys
"A while?! I doubt if they'll be moving for WEEKS!" -- Spider-Man, with his usual snappy rejoinder
Collecting four non-connected stories (the imprimatur of the Marvel-Verse book series on various heroes/heroines and villains) from throughout his 60 years at Marvel, this volume focusing on the shield-wielding star-spangled Avenger was one of the better-paced entries with its accent on the action scenes. Included are the requisite origin retelling AND a random narrative featuring guest star Black Panther, both hailing from 1968 and also displaying the somewhat clunky dialogue that was common in the Silver Age, before finishing on a stronger note with a story from the Marvel Team-Up title of the early 70's (when Spider-Man would partner with a different character each month) and - my favorite of the bunch - a 21st century account of Cap's first secret mission during WWII.

I didn’t love this one; the storyline was all over the place and the artwork varied from the original panels from Stan Lee to more modern versions. There was no cohesive structure tying it all together.

Decent intro into Captain America, starting off with not one but actually two origin stories. First is a retelling of his classic golden age origin and exploits, all while punching nazi conspirators in the face. Next up is a more kid-friendly story with a plot slightly reminiscing of The First Avenger movie, where Cap and a special ops team take on Baron Von Strucker and Red Skull. . Afterwards, we get some pages about the silver age origin and frozen Cap being discovered by the Avengers, combined with him and Black Panther trying to unravel Zemo's sinister plan. And lastly, a team-up with Spider-man against AIM and Grey Gargoyle, which is pretty fun.
Overall an ok read, which gives a lot of insight into Caps exploits.
