This run of Cap was so different from the previous one, but in a good way. Seeing some of Steve's childhood was nice. Remender truly understands Cap and what drives him. It would have been better with a different artist, though. As I've mentioned before, John Romita Jr is my absolute least favorite artist. Oh well, he's only on for 5 more issues. Overall a great story.

If i had to use only one word to describe the awesomeness this story it would have to be "YES"!!!! This story starts out a tad slow as we get some backround on Steve and his youth along with a somewhat generic introduction in the present. But trust me when i say its a slow burn that leads to a raging inferno of action, adventure and high emotion! Remender hits this clean out of the park! I wont spoil anything, but at the end of issue 5 you will be salivating for Vol 2!!! One of the best aspects is that you dont need to know anything about Cap America to enjoy this. It is a perfect jumping on point for anyone. Remender's name may not be a flashy as Bendis, Aaron or Fraction, but IMHO he is clearly the best storyteller in Marvel's stable. This and All New Xmen should be on every Marvel fans must read list!!

Instant favorite!

Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2013

Captain America is my favorite superhero, so this purchase was an inevitability. Thankfully, I was not disappointed! This is not your Brubaker's Captain America!

This first half of the Dimension Z saga focuses more on the new world that Remender has throw Steve Rogers into. The strange animals, the slow reveal of the villain's plans, and a surprising companion for the Captain are all pieces of groundwork that lead to an emotional and potentially devastating climax.

This is where the slight problem with this volume lies. Most of what happens in these first five issues doesn't feel particularly important. The climax of the fifth issue isn't entirely impactful, however, all the plot points and emotional notes that are struck here set up for a painful second half, currently being published monthly in magazine format, to be bundled in December 2013. However, even though this volume is slow and somewhat expository, it is a necessary part of the forthcoming second volume.

Romita Jr. on the art is an absolute pleasure. It's a large departure from most comic book art, but it is entirely perfect for this strange world the Captain is in. It bears more than a passing resemblance to his work on Millar's Kick-*ss, that is, the pencilling and color styling is pretty much identical.

All in all, this is a wonderful addition the Marvel NOW initiative and a great book in its own right. If your only experience with Captain America is the movie, this is a great way to explore his character in an unusual, but ultimately satisfying way. Buy this book!

Let me start off by saying growing up I never liked Captain America. I was always into x men or iron man. But over the years cap has had many talented writers and artists create fantastic stories. The latest by Rick Remender and John Romita Jr. is not only insanely awesome in terms of pure visual eye candy but in also showing us more of Steve's childhood. The ability to weave a touching story about family and especially about a father and his son is impressive amidst all of the insanity that occurs around our characters. Plus all of the amazing artwork just drew me in further and further. Needless to say I'm avoiding any spoilers because this is the type of story that you should go in not knowing what to expect. Well worth the money I paid for it. This review is for the kindle edition.

Captain America is back!

This is the best Captain America has been in years! All throughout Ed Brubaker's run Cap was a whiny anger driven wuss. Didn't feel like Cap in the least. Remender as a story teller has guts. He takes Steve to levels we have never seen before.

John Romita Jr. brings this freakish world to life with disturbing beauty and consistency. I feel like I've never seen Cap get so beat up, every wound he acquires stays with him into the following issues.

Get ready to see Captain America like never before (but with a tasteful "Old School" feel).

Like much of the main characters in marvel NOW, this book throws cap into unfamiliar territory. I really dug the old school science fiction. The story even has some pretty cool references to pop culture science fiction if you know what to look for.

That being said, it wasn't perfect. While I'm a fan of John romita Jr's art, it's easy to see how not everyone will be and some of the sci fi tropes are in full force and a little "on the nose."

All-in-all a good read that left me wanting more.

I am the biggest fan of Brubaker's run on Captain America. It is what won me over to becoming a comic book fan. With a new author and new artist team, it was difficult at first to accept a new storyline for Captain America. After reading and much pondering, I admit l love this new take on Captain America. The art is at times very questionable, however here Steve Rogers is presented with much characterization. I'd say give it a shot, it can't hurt.

Great Cap Story

Reviewed in Canada on April 6, 2014

Castaway in Dimension Z is a great Captain America story. The main villain in this arc is Zola, who doesn't actually get a lot of page time. The issue flashes back to Steve growing up in old America and the kind of parent's he had as a boy. I love a good Cap story but for some reason I find that he can be a tough character to give a good story too, that's just me though. This however was an amazing blend of heroism and science fiction. It shows that Steve Rogers always does the right thing whenever he can, including protecting something a villain hold's dear to them. Awesome cap story and can't wait for volume 2 on tpb.

Nun ja, es ist sehr verwirrend und nicht so spannend. Ich weiß nicht ob ich weiter lesen werde. Wenn es mal action gibt oder wenn endlich mal was passiert ist es gut, aber sonst eher nicht.

Le changement, c'est MARVEL NOW!

Reviewed in France on July 6, 2013

Placé devant le challenge de succéder à Ed BRUBAKER, dont le "run" exceptionnellement long a reçu de multiples louanges, Rick REMENDER a pris le parti -- comme il l'explique dans un texte placé à la fin de l'ouvrage -- de faire quelque chose de totalement différent. Tout en se référant au légendaire retour de Jack KIRBY pour prendre la direction du personnage au milieu des années 1970.
Disposer, pour mettre en image ses nouveaux concepts, de rien moins que "JRJR" et ses collaborateurs favoris (Klaus JANSON? - check! - Tom PALMER? - check! - Dean WHITE? - check! et tous en super-forme, SVP !), donne probablement un coup de pied dans les fesses supplémentaire, s'il en manquait !
Pour ce nouvel arc des aventures du Cap', dont les 5 premiers chapitres sont ici repris, et qui commence le jour de ses 90 ans, préparez-vous à de l'inédit : en quelques pages, notre héros est projeté dans un univers totalement inconnu, exceptée la présence d'un de ses plus notables ennemis. Et le Cap' va rester dans cet univers -- ou cette dimension -- incertain et dangereux pendant beaucoup plus longtemps que Hulk avant lui sur la planète Hulk !
Pour tenir face à cette épreuve, le Cap' va devoir puiser au plus profond de sa personnalité et de ses qualités, héritées de son éducation dans les années 1920 et 1930, que quelques flashbacks mettent en lumière.
Outre le fait que l'ouvrage offre la possibilité d'accéder à des suppléments digitaux (pas vus), toutes les couvertures officielles et "variantes" (Ryan MEINERDING, Paolo RIVERA, Julian TOTINO TEDESCO, Alex MALEEV dans le style de Frank FRAZETTA (?!?), etc.) sont proposées ainsi que diverses études de costumes ou planches en N&B.

Would’ve preferred entire story

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 10, 2019

Verified Purchase

The premise for this book is great. I’d initially assumed Dimension Z might be a variation of Bubaker’s ‘American Dreamers’ space but they’re unrelated. Of course they’re similar insomuch as alternative realities give writers acres of room - which is filled to good effect here with action and drama. And I found myself agreeing with the author’s rationale, espoused in a letter-to-self presentation at the end. This was revealing, as knowing little of Remender beforehand other than he appeared to live in the shadow of Jonathan Hickman it's an interesting read. So while pages are turned at a fair lick, ultimately the work is undermined by Romita Jr’s famously superficial panels. The problem with Romita’s work, apart from a complete lack of detail or nuance is that every book he illustrates looks the same. This is distracting. From trying to discern what, exactly was happening in some panels to his oft-repeated expediency techniques (robes instead of feet etc) and lose character designs, I found myself recalling his Thor and Eternals runs, as everyone and everything is identical. Yes, it’s Kirbyesque in boldness and excitement but light on poignancy and pathos in a story that’s obviously highly emotive, but light on characterisation too.

But by far the biggest problem is Marvel’s publishing strategy, which takes no prisoners in milking content for every cent across formats. This book, which only provides half the story really should’ve been presented as a whole, perhaps in oversize hardcover format. I didn’t care for the useless thick card insets at the rear either, which unbelievably interupt the book’s function (as a book!) and make the whole thing feel cheap, which it isn’t. So if you can grab both this and the concluding entries at a decent price they’re well worth a read.
