You know, I want to give this thing a fair shake and read it, but my first impression is that it's a really stupid gimmick. Yeah, people switch sides sometimes, and that's all well and good, so long as it doesn't come off as gimmicky. And given what Cap is supposed to stand for, it makes this feel especially gimmicky. (Plus like Aquila said, I'm fairly certain that comics have established Cap as genuinely good over the years). It'll probably be handwaved away at some point as the Red Skull brainwashing him, or he's actually going undercover in Hydra by pretending to be undercover as Cap, or just retconned with no real mention of it, and that's the biggest problem. As much as I enjoy comics, it gets frustrating when you can't enjoy a comic because it'll probably just get retconned or handwaved away, and not doing either is probably worse in this case.
I'll hold off judgement until the arc is complete and I've had the chance to read it, but it doesn't sound promising.
