As a non-American, I do get a sense of "good American values" from Cap (somewhat like the boy scout nature of Superman). This title was a very well executed story, which beautifully highlighted flaws in the people involved. It's quite rare that I read a comic and get a whole new perspective on a character like this.

A lot less "rah-rah America" than I thought it'd be, but good storytelling. Fantastic Cassady art too
