He seemed like an old-fashioned hero, too jingoistic and perfect, a product of another time removed from the current world. But the Marvel Cinematic Universe has brought him back to the present day and made him one of Marvel’s most popular superheroes once again . Therefore, if it is one of your favorites or you want to know its history well, we will show you how to start reading the Captain America comics.
Chris Evans is the face (and ass) of America. From Captain America, rather. There is no doubt that his charisma has contributed to recovering and bringing to the fore a superhero that seemed very difficult to bring to the new times. Including that unfashionable suit.
However, as always, Marvel has succeeded and interest in the superhero has been rekindled .
Therefore, if you want to know his story better, we will tell you where to start reading Captain America .
The best starting point to start reading Captain America
Although there is usually a lot of division of opinion about where to start reading comics that have so much history, the truth is that, in the case of Captain America, almost everyone agrees on the same thing.
You won’t find early issues from the ’40s, so the best starting point is Ed Brubaker’s time at the helm . One of the most acclaimed, it spanned from 2005 to 2012 . Absolutely the entire work is recommended, but it covers, above all, two key plot arcs: The Winter Soldier and Civil War .
In fact, in Spanish it is difficult to find the first volume and start at the beginning, however, if you find it, get hold of it and start there.
Be that as it may, those two plot arcs that we have mentioned are fundamental and also have their own volume.
Here’s the one from Winter Soldier , with Bucky Barnes.
And here is Civil War , one of the most important events in the Marvel Universe .
When you’re done with Civil War , the next step on the road is another must-have tome that, we don’t want to spoil, is called The Death of Captain America .
In this way, and especially if you have become a fan from the UCM, you will connect with the Captain America of the comics more similar to the one in the movies and you will be able to enjoy two of the most mythical stories, seeing the differences between film and comic.
Rick Remender’s Captain America
Once the Brubaker stage is over, if you want to continue, it’s probably best to do it through the new stage by author Rick Remender . This modern adaptation of Captain America is probably the best place to go.
Luckily, in Spanish you will find the volumes that bring together the beginning of that stage.
Here you have the first.
If you like them, you can continue through The Iron Nail story arc.
And then continue through the volume The Soldier of Tomorrow .
You can continue looking for volumes beyond the third one if you have been bitten by the bug and, with all that, you already have hundreds and hundreds of pages of Captain America to read. But, above all, to start off on the right foot to learn about the adventures of one of the most emblematic Marvel characters.
