Black Nerd Problems - Keith Reid-Cleveland
Oct 11, 2018Marvel's highly unlikely to make their books reflect reality too closely, but if you read this series from a contemporary lens, it's brilliant. And a nice poke in the ribs to the "leave politics out of my comics [that are actually about politics"]" crowd. Read Full Review

Oct 20, 2018If you are among the throngs of fans that are turned off by hamfisted political commentary, I would urge you to readCaptain America with an open mind. If you want to see a liberal boogeyman here, I'm certain you can convince yourself of its presence, but the multi-layer narrative actually may be the most bi-partisan (or perhaps anti-partisan) text to be found in comics today.

Graphic Policy - Brett
Oct 10, 2018The issue is another excellent entry from the team and Cap has been one that's a mix of action and exploration of today's America and the situations we face. It's a superhero comic that makes you think and is a prime example that you can easily mix politics with superhero comics. Read Full Review

Comicsverse - Matt Attanasio
Oct 10, 2018CAPTAIN AMERICA #4 is a good effort to push the story forward, but Ta-Nehisi Coates needs to spend less time in Steve's head and more time in the world. The story needs to move. Read Full Review

Oct 10, 2018As Captain America zeroes in on some very specific action, the series delivers its most limited and most exciting issue so far. Read Full Review

The Super Powered Fancast - Deron Generally
Oct 10, 2018Leinil Francsis Yu has some great art in this issue and the use of shadows and the details in the backgrounds do a great job of conveying the dangerous nature of Steve's surroundings. Well done. Read Full Review

Comic Book Revolution - Kevin Lainez
Oct 12, 2018Captain America #4 was a strong read that furthered the plot that Ta-Nehisi Coates is crafting in a positive direction. After several issues of little development Coates finally makes Alexa a compelling character by tying her into a big event that happened during Ed Brubaker's run on Captain America involving Sharon Carter. That connection elevates everything that has been going on in this story, creating more questions for Captain America and Sharon Carter to have to deal with. If your a Captain America fan I recommend checking Coates run out as he is bringing in a lot of past continuity into in a great, logical way. Read Full Review

Oct 13, 2018Despite a solid, interesting take on Captain America in today's world, the rest of the story leaves a lot to be desired. Read Full Review

Loved seeing task master in there, still curious about what's to come. Side note: All the covers are been way too good, hope this trend keeps up.

Cap's characterization is on point and I'm excited to see where this goes.

from a base of 6, this gets a rating of: 8. +1 because: the Cap guilt thing is really working for me +1 because: so good to read a Cap book with at least decent art and he's not a nazi!

It's all there from the creative team. Great script and art. It just has to be structured to flow better.

It's well written, but it's so slow that I can barely remember what's happening.

The thing with Ta-Nehisi Coates that I assumed was a one-time thing with Black Panther, but isn't the case because it applies here too, is that, while he creates interesting stories, he seems to have an issue with being vague about his ultimate goal. Yes, it creates a mystery, and ultimately, a hook, but it's somewhat irritating that each issue seems to repeat the same narrative as the one before it. That being said, although I made it seem like a big deal, it is only a small issue I have with this series, as Coates really understands Steve Rogers and is handling him quite well with the aftermath of Secret Empire. Almost everything about this series is compelling, the action, the story, the characters, and so on. It's enough that this will more

These Covers are fantastic. Thank you Alex Ross for this stellar artwork. Yu's interiors are also a delight and a real selling point for this comic in my eyes. The story is dragging. Captain America sad about his evil counterparts actions is not enough to drive this story and what happening with Carter and The Villains I find downright confusing and that's mostly because tis just not that interesting. Political dialogue is good but not great. This isn't as bold as Captain America Sam Wilson, for me this is the equivalent of getting by.

Zzz. This book had three issues to get its momentum and engage the reader. Now, after the issue #4, I can honestly say that it's kinda boring. This issue drags its feet for the most part. Things get a little more lively once the Taskmaster shows up, but then the issue quickly ends. It is a bit funny, though, since Cap is making his way through military base full of bad guys, so it should be entertaining. But Steve's constant narration, throughout the fight, about patriotism, flag, traitors and loyalty plus no dialogue, detracts reader's attention from what's happening on the page.
