I feel like the critics are giving high marks so they don't be label as racist.

The usual suspects may be mad about it (and what comes next), but Captain America #30 is an excellent issue, one that gives us something to think about as well as excellent art, reminding readers that all art is political and that can be incredibly entertaining. Read Full Review
Kirk delivers some great art throughout this issue. The action in the beginning of the issue is thrilling, but the tension of the sit down between Steve and Red Skull is just as visually dramatic. Read Full Review
Captain America #30 is a good bookend for Coates-run and leaves things open enough for the next creator duo; Writer Christopher Cantwell and Artist Dale Eaglesham, in the United States of Captain America, to do their own thing. I know some people have criticized Coates' work in Black Panther and Captain America as 'slow' and 'retracted' but I personally don't see it that way. In my opinion, Ta-Nehisi Coates' background as a novelist has served him well to give us stories that are thought-provoking, layered, and clever with attention to the 'souls' of T'Challa and Steve Rogers.

Another solid entry for the Star Spangled Soldier. Read Full Review
A fitting conclusion to Coates' uneven but always thoughtful run on the character. It may not end with a neat bow but that just means the next person will have an easier time opening the gift. Read Full Review
All in all,Captain America#30 ended the way most expected -- and if you liked Coates's run, that's a good thing. Read Full Review
Captain America #30 is a fine end to the Coates era of Captain America. I think there were some important ideals tackled with this particular story and it really puts some thoughts in your head about extremism. It would have been nice to also see someone like the Red Skull get punched out, too. I think if you have passion for what Coates did with Cap or if you are critical of his work on the character, an issue like this is going to do little to sway your opinion. I found it to be a decent end for another memorable run of Captain America. Read Full Review

If you truly think about it. It took 30 issues to have a dinner. I for one have been very vocal about this pretty sub par Cap run but, there is something about this issue that I liked. Im really hoping the next writer does a more enjoyable run.
I already did my one rant about the conservatives with a hard-on for misunderstanding Captain America over at the United States of Captain America #1 review page, so I'll be brief here. Imagine thinking that Jordan Peterson is appreciated, or that he doesn't deserve the criticisms he's gotten as an allegory in this Cap run? Brain-rot.
I'm going to ignore all of the political commentary, I'm going to ignore all of the hard-ons people get over Captain America depictions or Coates. I'm going to talk about what I think about this.
The ending is a very played version of events between antagonistic influencers. But as a plus, Sin is going back out of her father's shadow.
In all honesty, I've been more interested in the United States of Captain America even before this conclusion. There are a lot of tropes in Coates' run that have been played out and I found Steve to be the least interesting character. I prefer Peggy and Sharon's depictions above all else. I can only hope they get more appearances.
All we get for a conclusion is an old progressive fantasy. (And I say this as a deeply-committed pinko leftie.) The fantasy is, A: You can convince an authoritarian's followers that he holds them in contempt, and B: This will instantly cause his organization to crumble. It's naive. It's a lullaby we progressives use to rock ourselves to sleep. At least there's a couple pages at the end that admit the fantasy doesn't work -- but that just weakens the resolution of the story, doesn't it?
Captain America has lost its charm, two very bad last installments have been released to the public. And I mean this one and the one from last week.
This was the most nothing Cap run I've ever read. Thank god it's over.
Finally this nightmare run is over. Maybe now Coates can go cry somewhere else that Peterson is more appreciated than him, not in our comics. If there was one guy I never would've put on Captain America, it was this guy. He hates everything about America and his entire run might as well have been called Daughters of Liberty, he never gave a damn about Steve Rogers. Good riddance!
