Overall, this is the most compelling and painful issue of Captain America: Steve Rogers yet. Steve is no longer just a Hydra agent, here's a clear threat to the Marvel Universe, and we don't know how he'll claw his way back into heroism from here. Bravo, Nick Spencer. Read Full Review

While the artwork in this book might be dragging a bit, Captain America: Steve Rogers #5 proves to be the most compelling issue of this series yet, now that Spencer has turned this iconic Avenger into a clear and present danger for the entirety of the Marvel Universe. By finally making good on his premise of Cap as a villain in disguise, there are suddenly some real stakes for Steve’s journey - where he’ll ever be capable of redemption, or if we’ll even think he’s worthy of it when the time comes. While critics of Steve’s new status quo will still certainly find plenty to be up in arms about, those who are on the fence will likely find a lot to like about this book. Read Full Review
While it takes the wind out of Civil War II's central argument, Steve Rogers: Captain America #5 continuesto tell an intriguingCaptain America tale that manages to surprise at every turn, and deserves a place on your pull list. Read Full Review
If you're at all interested in how Steve Rogers has been secretly pulling strings during Civil War II you can't miss this issue. It may not progress the plot much, but it's good for showing Captain America as a master tactician. Read Full Review
In terms of plot and characterization, this series is one of the best Marvel has to offer right now. Each new issues brings with it a new wave of engrossing twists and a fascinating look at a hero torn between his inner goodness and the twisted assassin Hydra would make of him. Unfortunately, the first three issues set a high standard when it came to the art, and this story arc isn't measuring up in that regard. Read Full Review
Captain America: Steve Rogers #5 is an interesting issue that will give you a lot more information about Civil War II and may even change your perspective about the event as a whole. It's interesting issue and as a part of the bigger storyline going on throughout the Marvel Universe it's more intriguing, but on its own it still feels gimmicky and sowing the seeds at the next event to come after Civil War II.

Spencer and Marvel have gone to great lengths to set up an evil Steve Rogers, and while I love the idea and can't see what happens with it, this issue continues to just spin its wheels without going anywhere. Story has taken a back seat to exposition and explanation. Read Full Review
This is top Quality Shit. Rogers master plan being played out is highly entertaining. Spencer is an amazing writer and the story so easily comes to life as you read it. Moments between Cap and Selvig are fantastic. This Series is incredibly well written and should be highly regarded for its contribution to Steve Rogers as a character and also for whats its done for the Marvel History as a whole. Like it or not all events and stories are part of the Marvel Lore in a way and this one deserves to be remembered and looked at.
It seems very likely that Steve's position as a Hydra agent will come to a climax with the Spider-man/Captain America vision in Civil War. In the mean-time we have a strange fragmented tale where Steve makes moves that do not make a lot of sense. He builds his own obstacles with no end goal in site. This is yet another moment of acting in one way with a twist that shows it was all a lie and he really wants the opposite. I am ready for CWII to shed some light on where this is heading.
