What I liked about the What If series on Disney+, is that it kept the spirit of the comic book.. As that anything can happen to any of our heroes, based on certain choices. The episode that I really enjoyed was the Marvel Zombies one, where we find a dystopia where some of our most powerful heroes at their worst. It made fans of both comic books more than happy.

I had wished that we saw more of that on the big screen. As we got a bit of a tease at the end of Eternals of Blade’s return. I wondered how else could Marvel dive into the supernatural genre? In the one-shot issue of Captain America: Unforgiven, we find Steve Rogers hunting vampires.

We find Steve Rogers restless and losing hope as one vampire, Redblood looks for world domination, while the rest of the X-Men/Avengers are scattered to the wind. We soon find Captain America as he confronts Nighteyes, a powerful vampire who he may be able to bring to his side while Redblood looks to continue, sacrificing hero after hero. The reader soon learns about the different factions amongst the vampires, leading to a power struggle between the two. By the issue’s end, Cap leads what remains of the Unforgiven against Redblood’s army, as they defeat them by uniting their strength with the Avengers and X-Men, realizing their true power lied in each other.

Overall, Captain America: Unforgiven is a satisfying conclusion to a great story arc. The story by writer Tim Seeley is powerful. The art by the creative team is gorgeous. Altogether, a nice bookend to one of the more exciting events in Marvel has had in years.
