Summary: I'm joining a militia...
Comment: How difficult is it to write a book that paints militia members as whackos? Frankly, the viewpoint expressed by the ones in this book made WAY more sense than anything Cap said. His jingoistic love for America made Liberty's Torch seem rational by comparison. Would George Washington and Uncle Sam have to beat Captain America with red, white and blue baseball bats to quell his mad patriotic fervor?

Summary: Typical B Grade Beach reading
Comment: This is brain candy, not art.
Enjoy it for what it is. Try not to think too much about it.

Summary: Good, but weighed down
Comment: Liberty's Torch is a militia group of the most violent stripe. They want to discredit the government of the United States, and finally overthrow it. What symbol could they strike at that most shows America? Why, Captain America of course! Through violent and evil trickery they capture Cap and put him on trial for treason. Now is the time for Captain America to stand alone and stand tall - America in the dock.
First, let me say that I liked this novel (very few illustrations). The authors take a very straightforward view of militia - the militiamen are strong and violent, and have rather limited intelligence. Their leader is a bigot and a cad, who made his fortune selling arms to the U.S. government. Yada yada yada. The action was excellently written, and very enjoyable to read. The trial scene dragged on, becoming quite boring, but was the whole reason for the book.
So, the super-hero part of the book was excellently written, while the political angle was a little overdone and dragged the story down somewhat. Overall, I am glad that I read this book, but I'm also glad that I checked it out from the public library rather than bought it. If you are a fan of Cap, then you really should read it.
