    Captain America

    Character » Captain America appears in 11752 issues.

    During World War II, Steve Rogers volunteered to receive the experimental Super-Soldier Serum. Enhanced to the pinnacle of human physical potential and armed with an unbreakable shield, he became Captain America. After a failed mission left him encased in ice for decades, he was found and revived by the Avengers, later joining their ranks and eventually becoming the team's leader.

    Where should I start with Cap?

    Hey all, I'm a big comic book reader and most of mine are DC, but I'm also lightly into Captain America but I don't have a clue on where to start with him he has so many comics that its a bit confusing what to start reading.

    Any suggestions?

    Check out Cap from the start of Ed Brubakers's run.

    If you want something more classic check out the Kirby stuff from the late '60s (Tales of Suspense and also Captain America #100 and up).

    I also recommend the Captain America 'War and Rememberance' trade paperback by Roger Stern and John Byrne.

    It's all 616 canon.

    No other recommendations at this time.
