Not a huge fan of the art, which is too cartoonish for me (and maybe for the subject matter). However, nothing takes away from the power and presentation of the story. I’m sorry I didn’t know about this earlier.
I loved this book. I like what they did with the story. The art took some getting used to for me but overall I really enjoyed this book. What I enjoyed the most about it is that it wasn't written as just a what if book. It was treated as a canon and accepted backstory to Captian America. Some look down on the book but I believe it enriches the history of Captain America and endears him to many others. It reaches into our nations darkest times and doesn't ignore actual history but also shows that through all this Captain America is truly one of greatest superheros ever created. I believe Captain America represents the best of America, not just physially, but spiritually and morally.
Great story would love to see a movie . Art work is flat out awful and a serious insult. I wish some black celebraties would get togeather and have art work done it looks like 6 year old did it major insult but great story. artwork on cover and back is great inside a damn shame.
Captain America: Truth is exactly what superhero comics that want to be "dark" "sophisticated" or "edgy" should strive for. Robert Morales weaves a believable tale of the real-life struggles of African Americans during WWII into the familiar story of one of the most iconic American superheroes. Morales' story is all the more plausible for how closely it follows real events. This is how you bring complex adult themes to the world of four-color superheroes.
Kyle Baker is at his loosest and most cartoony here, which may be off-putting to readers more used to the cinematic hyper-realism of comics like the Ultimates line. For a story as emotionally resonant and dark as Truth, however, the cartoonish art provides a welcome level of remove. If drawn with too much realism, the story could have been almost unbearably self-important.
