Lead

• "fascistic"? Isn't the adjective "fascist" more common?
  • Clarified.
• Captain America refuses to take Jones as his sidekick, but later he "defeats the Hydra henchmen with assistance from Jones". If he was not his sidekick, why did he bring him to that fight? Isn't he putting him in danger all the same?
  • Jones was already a superhero, per the Hulk's sidekick Rick Jones in the plot summary.
• "In the ensuing conflict, Hydra is beaten back and Madame Hydra is killed". Did someone kill her on purpose, and if so, who? Or did she die by accident? (in that case, it should be "Madame Hydra died").
  • Clarified.
• If I understood it correctly, Madame Hydra was introduced in this arc, and killed in the same story? Or the "its new leader Madame Hydra" means that her introduction was still recent?
  • Correct, Madame Hydra is both introduced and killed in this story.

Context

• If you're going to mention the 1940s comics, you should mention its long hiatus and that the Tales of Suspense stories were made after Lee and Kirby retrieved the character in Avengers 4.
  • I think that might be excessive context for the purposes of this article; if a reader is interested in additional details about Lee and Kirby's 1940s comics, or the revival of the character in The Avengers, that's covered at Captain America.
• It may be kinda obvious, but if you describe Captain America as a wartime superhero you should mention WWII, so that the references to Hitler and Nazis make sense.
  • Clarified.
• Fix "revivial"
  • Corrected.

Production

• "requested and was given" seems a bit redundant or wordy.
  • I tried to rephrase to avoid redundancy, but I think it needs to be kept this way to establish that Steranko specifically wanted to write Captain America, e.g. that it was not just a random title that Lee offered to him to resolve the dispute.
• Add the year after "Captain America #109", as with the other specific issues mentioned.
  • Done.

Release

• Just to clarify, was Captain America 112 a new comic by Lee & Kirby, or a reprint of an older one?
  • It was an original story.

Reception

Seems fine

Most of the article seems fine. Just fix those details and we're good to go. Cambalachero (talk) 17:26, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
