As Cap takes the country back from those who harmed it, we've been given a great character study on him this issue, and I highly recommend it. If you're a fan of Captain America or the old school comics, you need to pick this up! Read Full Review
For me, Captain America #699 was a nearly perfect Captain America story. We get Cap standing up for the little guy, making big speeches and throwing his shield. Add that tosome magnificent artwork and you got yourself one heck of a superhero comic book. I loved every minute of this issue. This surprisedme becauseI was not the biggest fan of the previous issue, and then this comes along and totally redeems itself! Read Full Review
I love the classic action and character moments in this issue. Anything that shows the indomitable will of Steve Rogers is a good things and I'm looking forward to issue 700 Read Full Review
Captain America #699 is another great entry in this stint from creative team Waid, Samnee, Wilson. It still mixes modern sensibilities and political philosophy with classic comic storytelling structure, aesthetic, and pacing. This is one is strongly recommended, and you should give it a read.

Visually stunning in a story that continues to prop up what Captain America stands for. Read Full Review
Chris Samnee sure knows how to draw a Captain America action sequence. He gets to draw a few in this issue, the middle chapter of the three-issue "Out of Time" arc, and they are as dynamic and graceful as fans have come to expect. Read Full Review
This is a nice story and in a lot of ways, that's the most damning praise I can give it. It's not bad. It's just nice. Read Full Review
From the fantastic, retro cover to the last page, this issue is amazing. Mark Waid and Chris Samnee's Captain America is so definitively Captain America, it's crazy. This is the Steve Rogers we have known for so long. The story, with the creepy weird-headed villain is silly, but awesome comic book silly. I loved the appearances from The Thing and Banner Hulk (who arrives with no explanation of what's going on in "The Avengers," and that's okay). Ben calls Mr. Fantastic "big-brained Reed." Classic. I think this series is the one that really got to the heart of what Marvel was trying to achieve with "Legacy." It has all the warm and tingly things old school Marvel fans like me love. And I can't fail to mention the art--Chris Samnee is possiblmore
This Cap run has been nothing short of great, in terms of story and art. A must read.
Cap's whirlwind assault on Rampart brings the Hulk and the Thing across his path before dropping him into an interesting conundrum at the end. The visuals are solid and the character work is executed with speedy skill, but the plot is rather threadbare. Even as you're reading it, you can feel this story racing towards becoming a minor wikipedia footnote in a few years' time. At least we get a tiny moment of well-executed confrontation that shows off the evil of Rampart/Babbington's "aristocrats are inherently better" rhetoric. And the art is gorgeous as ever. Like anybody with working eyeballs, I'd happily pay for an ongoing series called "Chris Samnee's Clever Fights."
