This collection was a mess. I thought it was bad when you bought a volume and there's like 5 different artists. This collection had about 7 different writers and it very much showed. There were few bright spots. Issue #247 was good, there was a pretty decent run from 248 to the end but the rest of this book was just terrible? I mean, watching Captain America tell black people to sit out the war against white terrorism and the book implying that they're part of the problem? THe unnecessary flip f...
A case of the good parts that were working in Vol. 6 being just enough to tip the scales away from developments which weren't as charming.The case of the stuff working at it's best is the first issue presented, "Captain America #231", wherein Captain America gets swept up in a several issue arc with the National Force, a combative neo-Nazi outfit that is starting to hypnotize the world into its way of thinking. A lot of good emotional duress, plot turns, and generally well thought out action by

I liked the John Byrne issues. JB always seemed to get Captain America and it really clarifies the characterization from earlier in this volume.

The Stern/Byrne run was one of the few Cap runs I had bought issues from back in the day. It really made this volume for me.

The best collection of Captain America stories without the brooding.

The Roger Stern/John Byrne issues in this collection are the best this title has seen to this point in its history. Unfortunately, there's a lot of fill ins clustered around their issues which are extremely bad.
As is often the case with these Marvel Essential titles the material included is often uneven. The Stern/Byrne issues are wonderful and the most of the McKenzie issues are very good as well, particularly those with art by Buscema, but many of the one-off or fill-in issues between these runs are mediocre at best.
