What in the world is Sin up to? Find out as this epic run on Cap continues in Captain America #28 from Marvel Comics. Read Full Review

Undoubtedly,Captain America#28 will have its detractors because of its political nature, but that's what makes the book work so well.Captain Americahas always been political -- it's the perfect title to make a statement like this, and Coates was the perfect writer to do it. The lesson here isn't just important, it's necessary and incredibly timely. Read Full Review

Though Kirk's art seems like it could have used at least one more go-around, with some panels lacking some necessary detail, the overall effort is a solid one and an interesting addition to the creative team's run. Read Full Review

" What has happen to the men of of the world is truly one of the great tragédies of our time. Once, the american man was a conqueror. Now he is but a caretaker. And a caretaker of what ? He stands for some amorphous dream a dream of nothing."

This was a good issue. Ta-Nehisi Coates lays out what his run has been about, and I think it's something worth telling. If only it came several issues before this, because the type of people that this comic is calling out have long since dropped this title.

Sin springs a trap on Cap, turning her middle-act victory into grist for the Skull's philosophical mill. This issue delivers some powerful moments of characterization and social criticism and is a fun all-around read (provided you're not grinding an oppositional ax to the author's worldview). The main plot is losing momentum again, though; this issue is almost a mulligan for the previous one. But Sin's role is executed well enough to raise my rating.

Sin was heavily featured in this book. I ain't mad. And her full name is a nod to the S.S. soilders ? In a world where the WHO is looking like Gestapo , that's an alliterative callback that was hard not to notice as was the overall story concerned with both shaming and trying to reach and understanding with people who subscribe to online extremist groups. But Coates' narrative falls on deaf ears. It must be hard to write a story about a government agent upholding the ideals of a company that masquerades as a country. Still, Coates works with what he's given and provides action in an opening that looks it belongs in a Statham flick while using the 32 or so pages to preach against idolatry, but not come off preachy while doing it. Coates on Cap is Cap at his best since JR Jr. was drawing Zola as Cap's captor the Cosmic Cube. If this is what he could do with Marvel's icon who upholds "The American Way" , it only leads me to wonder what he and Abrams are cooking for the big screen for DC's resident patriot.

This was the first issue in a while I can truly say kept me engaged the whole time. Its definitely a solid read. The constant changing artists doesnt help and this art isnt what I normally picture for a cap book bit for what its worth the whole book was definitely a step in the right direction.

I've been lukewarm on this series but this was actually a decent issue if for no other reason than because it makes JBP and his fanboys seethe.

Tell me more about lobsters, skull daddy.

Craptain America Continues...If you hated the last 27 issues your really gonna hate this mess of nonesense. Why do we care? This is everything thats already been done redone at a shitty level. Coates I cant wait till you're done here man, this run sucks ass.

Absolutely ideologically-driven propaganda. Completely ruins the fun of reading a comic. I would give it a 0, but the drawings are genuinely very good, appreciate the artist, massively disappointed in the writing. Do better Marvel. Comics used to be fun.

The fact that the writer made Red Skull be based on Jordan Peterson simply because the writer had a different political view is honestly hilariously bad. This is why I prefer DC Comics over Marvel Comics, because they at least prioritize good writing.

Ta-Nehisi Coates: becomes wealthy off of the idea that America is inherently racist and evil.
Marvel: Cool, want to write Captain America?
