Captain America doing what needs to be done while trying to find a new status quo for himself post Secret Empire. Worth a read. Read Full Review

If you're looking for a very easy to get into, almost all-ages Captain America comic, Waid's current run is shaping up to be something Cap fans may well have been waiting for: a solid, fun series which captures all the heart and courage Steve Rogers represents both in and out of his Cap costume.

The simple story telling accomplishes exactly what it sets out to do. It’s just plain fun. I dare you to not crack a smile reading this book. This team continues to bring old school sensibilities to the title and in today’s comic landscape; it feels completely unique and fresh. Read Full Review

We all knew this would be good, yet Waid/Samnee/Wilson still found ways to exceed expectations. Captain America is a comic book that'll no doubt bring a smile to your face and a swell to your heart as you utter "I f*cking love comics" to yourself. Read Full Review

Top notch art in a story that captures the humble nature of the hero. Read Full Review

This issue offers more insight into what Steve is actually trying to accomplish in his cross-country travels, but for the most part it tells a pretty straightforward story. For now, that's enough. Read Full Review

Captain America battles the new Swordsman in Captain America #696, Steve continues to travel America to find himself and let the American people know what Captain America stands for. These one-and-done stories have been great so far and have really helped reestablish the greatness of Steve Rogers. I also really like the short essays in the back with creators writing about what Captain America means to them; they have been very interesting so far. It is not a spoiler (it is on the cover), but I am super excited for issue #697, as Kraven the Hunter is showing up and I am hotly anticipating seeing a full comic of Samnee drawing him!

A new issue which clears up exactly WHY Captain America is riding cross-country, as well as properly introducing a 'Villain-of-the-Week' format. It shows Cap as a humble, down to earth hero who just wants a place to call home, but won't hesitate to protect his country. Swordsman offers little in the way of genuine threat but a grandiose plan provides plenty of heroics for our hero. Nothing spectacular but a solid issue from Waid nonetheless. Read Full Review

A simple, effective one-off of pure superheroics. Read Full Review

One-off adventures are all well and good, but I think it is time for Steve, and this creative team, to start delivering the big, grand adventures that we want from this new iteration of Captain America. Read Full Review

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite CAPTAIN AMERICA runs, and we're only on the second issue of it. Waid, Samnee, and Wilson nailed this issue. I'm eager to see what comes next. Read Full Review

The foundation is solid enough. But the vision leaves something to be desired. We'll see if Waid and Samnee can come though moving forward. Read Full Review

This isn't exactly a fresh new beginning or a different road for Captain America. Nothing has changed. And that's a real disappointment as they really have the opportunity to tread new ground with this hero. Steve Rodgers could have finally felt what it was like to be Spider-Man or the X-Men as they are hated no matter how good they do. As a reader, this is just a letdown. Read Full Review

And another one!

This series just makes me smile. Waid and Samnee are like Reese's Peanut Butter Cups - work well on their own but even better together.

I'm not entirely wild about Steve's post-"Secret Empire" journey across America, but I ended up really enjoying this issue. The Swordsman turned out to be a pretty cool villain and the moment with Steve at the dam summoning every ounce of his strength played a bit like Lee and Ditko's legendary "Amazing Spider-Man" #33. Chris Samnee's art here continues to be spectacular, leaving me surprisingly excited for the next step in Steve's journey.

I like that Cap goes back to a simpler, old school formula. That makes him relatable again and the art just works SO much with the story Waid tells us. Smaller town, smaller threat, smaller enemy, but bigger payoff and bigger fun. This is pretty much what this is : Fun. It feels like what comic books were before universes started to merge and big ass events dictated how the story went for every heroes. You can't help but have a smile on your face while reading it and that's a darn good thing.

Really good one shot with great art and color. The story is very humbling and gets the message across about who Steve Rogers is a person. Reminds of an old style 80's book.
