Adam Kubert's art is amazing. There are some beautiful details in every page and the art perfectly captures the serious tone of this story. Read Full Review

A dense thought-piece that will enrage some and invigorate many for all the wrong reasons. Coates continues to explore the very DNA of the United States and where our iconography and propaganda stand in the 21st century. Read Full Review

Overall, issue #7 serves as a solid transition from a story about Captain America to a story about Steve Rogers (and co.). I'm a sucker for the 9-panel grid as a storytelling device and it's used effectively here on multiple occasions. Read Full Review

The fascinating themes of Coates' Captain America run come to the forefront with the new storyline, making for a powerful issue. Read Full Review

Captain America #7 takes a few small steps forward into an ominous plot. This issue concentrates on how and why Steve justifies his own steps, and the script does good work approaching classic Cap problems from novel angles. A rich artistic presentation adds considerable value and makes this feel like a promising start to a story worth following. Read Full Review

From the outset, it was evident that Coates was running with what Nick Spencer did during his time on Captain America, turning it into something genuinely interesting and nuanced. Read Full Review

Sharon Carters Aeternum Filias, or Eternal Daughters, mark an intriguing addition (or retcon) to Ta-Nehisi Coates Captain America, and potentially to the overall Marvel Universe. (Could The Daughters of Liberty somehow be connected to Johnathan Hickmans S.H.I.E.L.D. history?) However, their mysterious introduction comes at the conclusion of an otherwise unmemorable issue rife with rehashed reflections, and contrived rearrangement. Ta-Nehisi Coates run has, thus far, been insightful, yet slow-moving;similarly, Captain America #7 sets the scene for the Captain of Nothing arc, but does so in an overly methodical manner that only garners interest upon review and reflection.

Ta-Nehisi Coates delivers a strong start to "Captain of Nothing" with Captain America #7. Now that Steve Rogers has been locked up it is going to be up to Sharon Carter and Bucky Barnes to step up to find out who is manipulating current events to create greater chaos in the world. In doing so Coates has created several sub-plots within "Captain of Nothing" that are equally compelling to the greater narrative of this series. Read Full Review

An ideological dive into what makes Steve Rogers Captain America. A story that asks what it means to carry the shield. Read Full Review

Coates’ Cap is reminiscent of Brubaker’s Cap.

And that’s a really good thing.

THE GOOD:

-Really nice art. Love Adam Kubert.

-I thought Cap's internal monologue was fantastic this issue.

-That scene with Baron Strucker was very excellent.

-This is a nice execution of the overused Superhero: Framed for Murder storyline

-My favorite part was the scenes with Sharon and Steve. And boy, does Coates know how to write Steve.

-The Bucky scenes were great as well. And that page with him snapping the bad guy's leg is just sickening.

-That end is crazy, but also really cool.

THE BAD:

-I can't think of anything. I don't feel like this was a 10-star issue though, so 9.5 it is.

This issue was great. It seems like every issue has some passionate narration about the American Dream, and since that's Cap's whole deal, it works really well. I like how this run continues to draw on Ed Brubaker's run and deal with Secret Empire and its consequences

Cap appreciates the quality of the frame hung on him for Ross's murder and turns himself in - but actually giving up is the furthest thing from his mind. The plot's building slowly, but that provides space for some truly excellent philosophizing, even by this title's sky-high standards. The art's impressive, too; I think Adam Kubert made a conscious (and really successful) attempt to match Leinil Francis Yu's style.

I admire the play between symbol and symbolized that Ta-Nehisi Coates weaves into the script. Steve recognizes at the start that his enemies are after his shield, symbolically, rather than himself. At the end, he turns himself over while ensuring that the literal shield remains out of their reach. They get the literal victory but Steve gets the symbolic one.

(I admit, though, if I was investigating a high-profile Marvel murder and the evidence said a thrown shield was responsible? I'd spend a minute or two checking Taskmaster before I arrested Captain America.)

Great stuff. Coates is slowly building to something here and i hope he does deliver. Kubert's art looks good especially with Martin Jr's colors.

Good as always, still slow, but seems to be building toward something.

Although I wish lenil yu was still on the art the art remained solid for the tone of the book. The story continues to slowly build and I lobe the continuation of secret empire. Good read.

A good solid issue that the last ponderous page puts over the top.

I think this is an interesting story arc and direction for the character to take.

This issue did not land at all for me. The evidence and reasoning behind Cap turning himself in is thin at best. I dont get what people are loving about this issue. It reminds me of that shit Shield show on ABC and I guess Coates is getting as many chances as that crap show got. The final page is not at all as good as people are claiming it to be. And the art is some of Kuberts most uninspired. Meh...Great cover tho..again..

This title continues to nose-dive with repetitive beats, tepid (sometimes ugly) art, and hackneyed themes.

More of the same. Boring. Art is starting to look bad too. Can’t blame the artist for having to draw panel after panel of weak plot.
