Everyone familiar with Captain America pretty much knows his origin, his history. So why is this book needed? Simply put so that Paul Jenkins can feed you that magic the character once had. The painted art is fantastic and the expression on everyone's face in the book is just amazing. I know some people might take a pass on this book having experienced the other Mythos books, but trust me all the others weren't anything compared to this book. The story catches you on the first page and then holds your attention and even some of your emotions till the last page.
