Niko Walter delivers some fine art in this issue. The art captures the tone of the story and perfectly complements the fast pace of this issue. Read Full Review

Writer Ta-Nehisi Coates offers a brilliant critique of traditionalism an all too common trait found among many in our country today. Read Full Review

This whole Captain America goes Western is totally a vine I can get behind. There's a certain Frank Miller-Esau's storytelling that comes from Coates and luckily for this creative team, I happen to be a major fan of that. Read Full Review

Now that the cloak is down, we see what the Watchdogs are really up to – Using A.I.M. tech to traffic the townspeople. Guarding a portal is apparently better-trained Watchdogs. Cap, Echo and White Tiger once again square off only this time Sin shows up, evens the odds and disappears. They managed to save a lot of workers, and after hacking into the Watchdogs server they see the Watchdogs are deeper than they ever thought. Fisk, Von Strucker… and they get a lock on where the teleporter was taking them – to Madripoor. Read Full Review

All of the pieces and themes are still in place for a really good ongoing comic, but the execution of this issue alone doesn't go hard enough. Read Full Review

Captain America #14 shows Steve and his female teammates getting down to business. That business is clobbering paramilitary kidnappers, and business is booming. Although this issue has an excellent self-contained fight scene, a lot of the other trappings are more questionable. Steve's narration takes a rare and unwelcome turn into smugness, and some visual glitches hold the art short of its full potential. Read Full Review

" I understand it, i really do. The world is changing. Used to be traditions. Used to be an other to things. Used to be men who thought like men. O'hara and the ringo kid. Used to be a man was promised something. But John Wayne is dead. Gary Cooper was another era. And now we've got some deaf injun chick. Who fight like a girl. "
-Steve Rogers

The art wasn't too good, but the action and plot are pretty good. The only complaint I have with the series currently is how Steve's dialogue is being written. He sounds more like Ultimate Captain America than normal Steve. Ultimate Captain America is more patriotic and gung-ho about fighting for America while normal Steve is more hesitant and very distrustful of higher up and usually fights for what's right and what the right thing to do is. The past two issues Steve has gone back and forth with his allies about the law is the law, without really questioning what's right. Granted, he does do a 180 turn by the end of the issue, but it's still jarring considering this Steve is the one who became Nomad and gave up on the US government completely many times more

A fun little read but coates is almost like bendis where the issues arent bad, the dialogue is pretty good but not much gets done.

Story finally picked up and the art was looking OK for the first two pages but then it takes a giant shit on the story. Niko Walter couldnt draw a single convincing action scene it was pretty terrible.

A quick read, I think the plot could be interesting still.

I didn't like the art and some of Steve's monologue felt really off.

It's not too hot on its own, and when you consider the wild shifts in art and characterization compared to previous issues, it gets pretty disappointing. Feels like emergency filler supplied by JV creators, though it does stick to the ongoing plot.
