Ultimate Captain America is a conflicted character, in his heart he still believes in the shining America of WWII, a conviction he's held onto despite confrontation with the strange beast that the country and its people have become compared with 1940s America, and some seriously disturbing revelations of what America has done in the years he was frozen. Aaron takes that idea head-on by having Frank Simpson capture Captain America and regale (and torture) him with horrors ranging from Nixon to Darfur. But Aaron had a failure of nerve. Somewhere along the line Simpson starts being portrayed as a genuine nutball instead of a radical terrorist - some might not see the difference, but the scariest thing about terrorists is their belief that they're doing the right thing. A nutball...is just a nutball. Knowing what Captain America has gone through previously as well as some very personal injuries done to him and his own by American hands, there was no doubt as to what Steve Rogers would decide, why make the decision easier for him? To spare us readers from thinking about some admittedly very unpleasant topics? A little cultural relativism can go a long way. I wish Aaron, or perhaps the editors at Marvel, had had a little more faith in their readership. Ultimate Marvel Next: 'Ultimate Comics Doomsday' Previous: 'Ultimate Comics Avengers: Blade vs. The Avengers' Jason Aaron and Ron Garney's Ultimate Comics Captain America uses the Ultimate Universe to portray that incarnation of Cap, who feels like a War on Terror vision of the 1940s, fighting his Vietnam counterpart, Frank Simpson. Simpson appears in the regular Marvel Universe as a villain named Nuke, but here was a young man who signed up for a program attempting to replicate Operation Rebirth, but had his idealism destroyed in the jungles of Vietnam. In this way, Simpson serves as the Ultimate Universe's answer to the various retcons that explained the Atlas-era Captain America in the regular Marvel Universe. Aaron's writing combines all the political awareness and social commentary that Mark Millar built into The Ultimates and which has shaped every facet of the Ultimate Universe save Ultimate Spider-Man. Garney's art works well at creating tension and driving the action without distracting the reader with more than they need to appreciate the scene. In addition, Garney draws Cap with a talent born of years of practice that both evokes and updates Jack Kirby's style. Fans of the Ultimate Universe and its version of Captain America will enjoy this story, but it may alienate those unfamiliar with The Ultimates or who only read the tradition Marvel Universe Cap. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
