I really enjoyed this latest volume of Ta-Nehesi Coates' run on Captain America and this one had a very satisfying clash with somebody who's usually considered an X-Men villain and a much appreciated development in the life of Sharon Carter.
The artwork was mostly of a really good standard, too. The bulk of this volume was drawn by Bob Quinn who has a confident line, great storytelling instincts and draws great backgrounds. Then there was a fill-in issue by Daniel Acuña, whose work I normally love, but his work on this issue felt unfinished and not up to his usual standards. Finally, we get an issue from Leonard Kirk who is also one of my favourite pencillers, so that was nice.
We also got a backup story by Anthony Falcone and Michael Cho which was short but sweet and actually brought a tear to my eye. A nice addition to the book.
My next book: Venom vol. 5: Venom Beyond

Sharon Carter takes center stage while the war with Selene comes to a head. With the Daughters of Liberty in the picture, there are too many characters to juggle, making this feel disjointed. There's subplots with the Lukins, Peggy Carter and Misty Knight, etc. Everyone gets short shrift.
Bob Quinn tackles most of the art. He must be deciding on who he wants to be as an artist. I loved his work at Dynamite but it was too exaggerated at times here. Daniel Acuna and Leonard Kirk each handle an issue as well. Surprisingly, Acuna's art looks very rushed and unfinished.

The Power Elite are making moves across the country, but while the Daughters Of Liberty are tracking the rest, Captain America, Falcon, and Bucky Barnes are heading undercover into Smalltown, USA to face Selene head-on. But Selene's plan may have further implications for Sharon Carter than any of them could possibly know.
This volume of Captain America felt slow - and that's probably because I read it in single issues and it was delayed massively by the pandemic, but still. It takes a little too long to get to the point, which is that Selene is bad and she should feel bad about it. The whole set-up feels a bit too similar to the Avengers: Standoff crossover from a few years back, and while the ultimate point of the story is great (and a long time coming), there's definitely a lack of urgency for something that should have felt a lot more...urgent.
The artwork doesn't really help either. It seems that Captain America has shed its big name artists and we're left with Bob Quinn for the most part, who doesn't seem to know what his style is just yet (I've seen him on other books since this and it's much more defined, but for now it seems like he's trying to ape Jason Masters from the previous volume, and it doesn't go well). Daniel Acuna returns for a single issue, while Leonard Kirk (who seems to be stepping in as series regular going forward) pencils the main story in the oversized issue 25.
Maybe it's because this volume's part 1 of All Die Young rather than the whole arc, but it feels kind of sluggish and incomplete, especially compared to the previous volumes. There are a few little developments of note with the Daughters Of Liberty, but aside from the battle with Selene (and that Sharon Carter point) the overall plot doesn't seem to move very far.

Sharon gets the spotlight here as she goes through the trials and tribulation to become a even better version of herself.
After a evil Selene decides to use her powers for no good Cap and his crew work together to fight back. We get to see some cool team ups, some uplifting messages for women, and a fucked up ending with one of our characters in grave danger.
The thing is this volume isn't explosive or crazy good as I hoped it would be. I really loved the start of this run but last two volumes, while a good slow burn, feel like they're lacking a bit. Still, as a cap fan, they are enjoyable. A 3 out of 5.

This does seem like something of a step back for this title. The story isn't as focused and it all feels a bit disjointed. The artwork is no great shakes, either.

This story was so good!
It starts off with Cap and his team going undercover in a town called Adamsville and well people there want to bring back the "old days" and the dream of it all but what they don't realize is they are being lied to by Selene as she is executing some sort of ulterior plan and I love how it hits on so many contemporary topics and does it well and when the big fight starts and then the focus shifts to Sharon and the work Coates does with her is amazing and he expands on her character and well young Sharon does return but he gives her a purpose and her battle with Selene is awesome.
The final part where we finally see the emergence of Red skull and how it ties to Alexa and its so awesome and we continue the monologue from Sharon and it connects to the past of American dream and what does it mean and the mission statement of the whole run about assessing America and its greatness but also its flaws and how villains make use of that. There are so many great things to decipher from here. Just perfectly executed while doing great character assessments with a great cliff hanger!
Plus the story with Sung Jin-woo and the whole thing Steve says at his funeral is just so emotional and like again hits at the flaws of America and its greatness too and how he inspired steve and its like one of my favorite Cap stories ever! A must recommend volume!

Coates writes flawlessly and thoughtfully about what it means to try and still love the principles that are supposed to be foundational to this country while still acknowledging its flaws - not like the partner who goes back to an abusive spouse, but more in line with the restorer of antiques or ancient works of art - there is much here that can and should be preserved, but that doesn't mean we can't employ new techniques and insight and changes in the art and science. And yes, this is in a Captain America comic; you need but look. Selene's arc moves very quickly, while the Skull/Lukin arc is glacial by comparison, and the immigrant story at the end will show you hope.

Call it Sharon Carter the comic since she's the real star in the volume. Cap becomes a side character here so if you're looking for something that focuses on Steve you'll be disappointed. Overall it's OK, I wouldn't consider this a top tier comic or even cap story but it's far from being terrible.
However, I truly enjoyed the last issue in the volume where Cap at a friend's eulogy covers the topic of immigration and what he truly stands for. That issue truly captures some of the heart of what makes Steve a great character and was better than the rest of the volume to me.

Now that Steve Rogers is mostly in the clear from the events of the past 3 volumes, the series seems to have run out of steam. There’s a plot involving the villain Selene that is pretty good, and something involving Steve’s old flame Sharon, but these things finish up too early in the book and what follows the confrontation with Selene is not near as interesting. It’s also very confusing. I had no idea what happened at the end. I hope Coates can find the magic again for the next book.

3.5 Stars.
Ta-Nehisi Coates has been able to take the current Captain America comic and keep the same types of stories we've come to expect from the title, while also being able to relate things back to the current state of our political climate and cover many of the issues we discuss in our every day lives. Truly a master wordsmith that knows how to rope in readers.
Highlights:
- Picking up the story from the last Volume involving the energy stealing villainess Selene, we find that she has now created a situation where her energy level will never decrease. Taking over the town of Adamsville, Ohio, Selene disguises herself as a Vicar of the church, and sets up the town as a place where American men who want things "back to the way it used to be - simple and easy, hardworking" can come and live. (If I need to point out to you the parallel with real life, you are probably one of those type of people). This way, they work hard, and she not only reaps the benefits, but also feeds off of them.
- Selene is also working behind the scenes with Russian wealthy man Aleksander Lukin, who has within him the spirit of Red Skull. They are helping each other gain power, and I'm sure we will see Skull come next Volume.
- Steve, Bucky and Sam go undercover into Adamsville to gain intel and get in a position where they can take down Selene. Not only because she is evil, but because the gem she wears around her neck contains the youth and vigor of Sharon Carter. It takes the three of them, plus Shuri and Sharon Carter herself (wearing the Iron Patriot armor) to stop Selene.
- The last issue describes Steve giving the tale of his friendship with an immigrant who came to America and worked hard to make it. The way Coates writes this is an absolute wakeup call to paranoid-focused conservatives who are anti-immigration.
Overall, another good Volume for Cap. How many more Volumes will Coates continue to go?

Maybe slightly better than the previous volume, but not enough to warrant three stars.
There's more commentary on America and in particular, American men, while wrapping up this part of the story. We get some closure for Sharon and surprisingly a nice interaction between her and Steve afterwards. So nice that it almost felt like a different writer. The larger plot with Steve still hangs in the background along with an even bigger threat looming.
The art for most of the book is very average (but still better than the last TPB.) Although I really despise the costume for the Falcon. Acuna takes over for the last couple of issues and it's a step up, but his work has never been a favorite of mine.
I believe Coates' run will end with the next volume and I'll be happy to have a new voice on the book.

Despite how much I loved volume one, this series took a dip for me shortly after that. However, I will say, this must’ve been a great run for fans of Sharon Carter. It’s the most I’ve seen done with her in any other series. I appreciate that, because she’s really been given the shirt end of the stick both in comics and the MCU. Coates seemed to really want to rectify that.
However, since I’m more of a Cap fan than a Sharon Carter fan, I can’t say this is in my top list of great Captain America comics.

We have some major events this volume as Coates starts to bring his story to a conclusion. One thing I will say for Coates is that he does seem to be a fan of the character with a deep background knowledge that you may not expect to find in a writer that made his name originally outside of comics.
One thing I haven't mentioned in my previous reviews are the Alex Ross covers. I think the covers Ross has done for this run of Captain America are some of his best work ever.

One of the better stories in Coates’ Cap run, but it’s still not completely landing on me. There’s something about the heavy use of thought bubbles to carry the narrative that feels kind of staid and navel-gazing. I want to like this much more than I do, but … alas.
February 22, 2021
Great insightful writing from Coates as always, but "The Promise" is a standout portion of this book.
October 28, 2021
This the 1st volume of the two volume finale to Ta-Nehisi Coates's run on Captain America. I've enjoyed it and have been fascinated at how it has really been this examination of the Trump-era using the post-Civil War II status quo. In this volume we get some resolution to a few of the loose-strings, but given that we only have one more volume means that unfortunately a lot of story is going to be crammed in the last volume. This definitely should've been a 6 volume run, but alas AWNs.
August 6, 2021
I continue to think this is Coates' strongest comic to date. His focus on words over pictures is still obvious here, and detracts somewhat from the comic, but it's more balanced this time around, and meanwhile his characterization of Steve and the others is the crew is quite strong.
This time around, he offers a very nice confrontation with Selene and along the way gives us a great impression of modern-day Sharon, whose soul and perhaps life hang in the balance.
If I have a complaint about this volume, it's that the last two issues seem like they're associated with some other story, and as has become Marvel's very bad-habit in recent years, it stops abruptly on a cliffhanger.

Steve and company tackle Selene in small-town America. Ta-Nehisi Coates hits the "white men are trash" nail on the head a few times here. Aleksander Lukin has been revealed to be Red Skull, somehow, and I'm not sure why I'm supposed to care. When Sharon Carter gets her soul back, she also gets a power boost on par with Steve's. Nonetheless, she hops in a set of Iron Man-style 'Merica armor. She also gets to play narrator on several issues!
I feel like I'm writing random sentences. There's not a clear through-line here. After Steve's prison break a few volumes ago, I figured this series would be "Steve clears his name." Instead we're getting the "Steve and Peg and Sharon Story Hour." The plot's all over the place, as is the art (which is better this time around, at least).

Finally, we get the Sharon Carter / Selene battle we've been inching towards. The Power Elite won't last much longer at this rate. Somebody in the Oval Office has been napping...or getting a phat payoff..to let Selene masqerade as someone leading a Department in gov't.
She's got that sweet slaughterhouse of souls going on. Down on their luck Americans are falling for her 'grassroots americana' pyramid scheme. Souls go into her necklace and never come out.
This all definitely fits into the shaken America we have nowadays. Distrustful. Paranoid. Longing for the way things used to be.
Bonus: LMD's are amazing!
Bonus Bonus: Dryad and Black Widow are drawn almost exactly the same, swear to God.

This run has gone from promising to meh over 25 issues.
Nothing highlights this more than the short story The Promise included at the end of issue 25.
The Promise, by Anthony Falcone and Michael Cho, is exactly what I want from Captain America. Okay, more punching would be great too, but the ideals and values there is the essence of what makes Captain America great. Coates has only managed to hint at that in his run, often muddying it when he does.

The Sharon Carter volume. Taking place in Madripoor and... rural Ohio? With deus exes courtesy LMD and Wakanda. (sigh) Well, there's lots of action at least. And a cliffhanger. Plus a nice one-shot coda where Cap mansplains immigrants-they-get-the-job-done... to a bunch of immigrants... at the funeral for his immigrant bestie. There may have been tears.
Where was I?
So... Cap, Falcon and Bucky kind of hold their own against Selene, while the Daughters of Liberty alternately rescue them (again), kick ass, and then get caught by another traitorous member of their own storied ranks, Alexa Lukin, and her brother, who unwittingly harbors the Red Skull.
Along the way, Sharon gets an... upgrade. And gets back with Cap. And gets the best lines. I did say this was her volume, no?
Anyway, I really enjoyed former Agent 13's monologue throughout, and the expressive artwork in the last issue #25. Coates as usual weaves the societal fractures of our America into the USA of Earth 616, piercingly analyzed in Sharon's voiceover. The best panel of the volume is hers, natch:

May 9, 2021That cover image and title give me a bit of a shiver, thinking of January, and some of the prime targets of that mob, and how easily the juxtaposition could now feel horribly inappropriate. But they were a perfect illustration of Coates' theme here, the anger of American men who feel abandoned by a changing world, and the terrible, self-destructive actions into which they can then be manipulated by (here, literally) vampiric elites. Plus, Sharon Carter - now older than her reappeared Aunt Peggy - tries to claim her life back: "That part of my life wasn't lived. It was stolen. [...] I don't mind aging. Everything in its season. But I didn't get seasons. I got the unending winter of Dimension Z." Yep, pretty much how I feel about the decade I've already aged in the 2020s. If only I could likewise reverse it by getting a Macguffin off a git. The inconsistent art here can be a stumbling block (Quinn's action sequences aren't at the level of his interpersonal drama; Acuna and Kirk are both good, but really shift the tone in a way that isn't obviously justified by the story), but Coates has really clicked with the characters now. The smart, politically engaged Captain America story that Falcon & Winter Soldier wanted to be, but didn't quite know how to put together? It's here.

I liked this volume better than the last. It seemed more cohesive, though the big baddie seemed to be caught a little bit too easily. I did like seeing Sharon kick some butt, as well as the mundane time Steven and Sharon spent together. Although it's a bit saccharine, the I appreciated last issue about the American Dream, and how, even though America was built on rotten foundations, and the American Dream was/is used to silence people who don't have equal opportunities as advertised, that the ideals of freedom and a multiracial, multicultural democracy are worth working towards and fighting for.
July 28, 2022
I jumped into this story without having read the first three volumes and still found it pretty enjoyable. This part of the story was focused around Sharon Carter, and relied on a lot of her inner dialogue which I though was very compelling. The last story in this issue, the eulogy given by Captain America was really thoughtfully written and was a great way to wrap up the volume.

So I still love the way Coates writes and how he approaches the realistic, down to earth aspects of a superhero story. Saying that, this issue felt a little slow. While we get resolution with the Selene story for the most part, very little is advanced with the Lukin/Red Skull storyline. The big at the end, about the immigrant experience was a really beautiful addition.

Another decent volume, that was leaning toward 3 stars, until the end of issue 25 (an unrelated story that explores the life of American immigrants) pushed it over the top. A decent run by Coates so far, but as far as the main storyline, I’m hoping something truly surprising or worthwhile comes out of it.

How apt to finish reading this collection on Flag Day; issues #20-24: 3 stripes rating, but the last half of issue #25: 10 stripes. Cap has done well on his own, but he always excels with a team. That is why this symbol of America endures, despite all what's happened in the fictional and real-life worlds of which he has become a part.
August 21, 2024
Coates Cap is dripping in current political turmoil and it doesn't seem to have the weight a Cap story should. I feel the antagonist is weak or at least an odd pairing with Cap and the Daughters Of Liberty story never hooked me. All that being said, there is some great interactions with Steve and Sharon. The art was subpar and looked very dated. Overall, a decent but formulaic read.
December 30, 2021
The Sharon Carter story in this one is really great, and the writing is surprisingly deep for what's essentially a battle against a magic vampire - who just happens to be devouring the lost souls of American masculinity.
