Theres a great cliffhanger to end the issue, leaving the audience champing at the bit for the next issue and establishing that Remender and Immonen know exactly what theyre doing and were a great choice for creative team on this title. This issue helps to justify and define what kind of Cap that Wilson will be, and the fact that it NEEDS justifying isnt great, but here we are. This book is so much greater than an attention grab and deserves to be read. Read Full Review
The book and the series have a ton of heart, drama and suspense; it is almost a perfect super-hero comic book. I can not recommend it enough to you. Read Full Review
Rick Remender was wise to throw Sam into the deep end with this united Hydra enemy. It's allowed the hero to shine and stand well apart from the other characters to wield the shield. Read Full Review
All-New Captain America #4 is a strong Cap story featuring a classic villain and some quality twists and turns. Remender knows how to keep me on edge and it's been a long time since issues of Captain America were as adrenaline-filled as these are. Sam's in good hands and this is a great first arc for this Captain America. Read Full Review
What's particularly impressive about All-New Captain America is the way that Rick Remender anticipates his critics, the people who think that Sam Wilson isn't fit to fill Steve Rogers' boots. Instead of screaming into the Internet maelstorm, he leans into these readers' misgivings, and gives a fitting response: Sam himself isn't sure if he'll be able to do Steve Rogers proud. He's not as strong, not as fast, not as smart - and that means he's got to be twice as resolute. If that doesn't make him fit to be the All-New Captain America, then you don't know what the character truly represents. Read Full Review
The opening of "Captain America" #4 had me wondering why Remender couldn't just write a Falcon story, but submerging the reader alongside Sam in the world of Captain America certainly provides a deeper appreciation for where Sam has been and where Remender is leading him. By the end of this issue, Remender has made this a Captain America story, elevating the consequences beyond Sam Wilson and embedding Wilson in action that shows readers why this is a Captain America adventure and not a Falcon story.

Remender is building to something grand in his story. The conflict between Captain America and HYDRA has been building and Sam has been dropped into the thick of it. There has been no time to relax and breath as each issue ramps up the stakes. Each issue has ended with a doosey of a cliffhanger and this issue is no exception. Read Full Review
This issue of All New Captain America takes you a long distance but it doesn't feel unnecessarily far. This series has felt like a film like very few comics I have seen to this point. This issue involves a lot of emotion. It really shows that Sam Wilson is just as worthy of the name Captain America as Steve Rogers is. He shows that he cares deeply for mankind and his friend Rogers. Zemo remains solid again in a villain role and the back half of this arc seems to be headed in a very interesting direction.
The art is great by Immonen but Armadillo and Cobra were just so bland. The fight between Cobra and Armadillo vs Sam lacked any suspense and seemed extremely generic. One the other hand, Misty Knight continues to be the co-MVP of this series.
An okay comic. Nothing special though the art is great and the characterization spot on, something doesn't click.
