![]() ![]() Just as much as Mayberry’s writing, Cariello’s art brings some excitement and fun to this comic. I wouldn’t quite call it Kirby-esque, but it does resemble that look that we associate with old adventure comics. I feel like I’ve been saying this a lot about certain comics this week, but the tone is definitely helped by Sergio Cariello’s artistic style. While I’m sure the comic would still be fun if he continued doing it in this style, I would like to see his writing style change to match the era that he’s covering. Sure, the writing is a bit cliche and overdone, but in a good way - and I think Jonathan Maberry knows that. It’s quite reminiscent of the original, classic Captain America comics, but with a bit of added modern flair. There’s something… let’s go with “classic” about the way that Mayberry’s first issue is told. Mayberry is bringing us something a bit different than the edgy espionage thriller that Secret Warriors is, though. ![]() ![]() Then I read Jonathan Hickman’s Secret Warriors, and the fictional terrorist organization is now one of my favorites (and there are a lot in the realm of comics). I always somehow missed the arcs dealing with them, except those with Bob, Agent of Hydra in Cable & Deadpool. When I found out that Doomwar writer Jonathan Maberry was doing a Captain America story spaced out over time where the primary antagonists were Hydra, I thought I would give Maberry the shot I forgot to give him when Doomwar was coming out. I heard that Doomwar was good, but I never got around to reading it. From the dark days of World War II to the Heroic Age, witness the brutal battle between Captain America and the immortal evil known as Hydra! How far back has the gruesome group been killing its way to capture the secrets of eternal life? What can Steve Rogers do to halt its sinister spread – when the horrific hordes of the undead rise to stop him? Find out as award-winning horror novelist Jonathan Maberry (DOOMWAR) teams with five different artists to capture five different time periods – including Sergio Cariello (Lone Ranger), Tom Scioli (Godland), Phil Winslade (Wonder Woman), Kyle Hotz (Conquest: Wraith) and Harvey Talibao (PSYLOCKE) – and guest-starring The Falcon, Black Panther, Nomad, Nick Fury and The Avengers! ![]()
