    Captain America #3 continues this new arc for Steve Rogers that is part throwback, part forward thinking masterpiece. In this issue, ambitious storytelling meets bold art choices. It's trippy and cool, adjectives not usually associated with Marvel's resident goody-two-shoes. Is a young Steve teaming up with real-life villain? And a dangerous and powerful old foe shows up in the modern timeline ready to rumble. Things are heating up for Cap and this issue masterfully sets the table for a potential epic run.

    The art is fabulous on this run, with Jesus Saiz knocking it out of the park every time he draws a new panel. The demon looks incredible and the framing of some of those scenes where Lane talks to it are so haunting in such a cinematic way. Lan Medina does the other set of pencils for this issue and once again, there is nothing to complain about. Every page of this book is a visual and literary treat. JMS proves his Captain America"run as worthy to go toe to toe with the greats. Read Full Review

    Captain America #3 holds back the action this week in order to promote the villain and set up a solid transition in the story. Every good story has these issues periodically that give a little on the thrills front only to help push the comic forward with setup. So, even though this issue wasnt very balanced this week, Waid and his team still provided a strong story with an extraordinary storyboard that this reviewer hasnt seen too often in comics today. We learn more about the Emissary, some of his abilities, his creation, and understand that Cap and him are connected in some way. Hopefully, next month, we not only get some intense action but more answers that will solidify this story and its overarching purpose and agenda. Let me know what you think, have a great week, and God Bless! Read Full Review

    This is a pretty dry comic so far, but there are some really fun and potentially interesting story swerves in this issue that get my hopes up. Read Full Review

    Weird Science Marvel Comics - mrgabehernandez Nov 29, 2023

    Captain America #3 is a thoroughly crafted issue that sets the stage for you Steve's experience with Nazis in the past and the parallels to a murder mystery in the future. Unfortunately, this issue has too many extraneous scenes explaining why the Nazis are bad, which drags the pacing to a crawl. Read Full Review

    There are a few pages in this issue dedicated to talking trash about Nazis, and that is awesome. It's also, unfortunately, the only enjoyable sequence in the whole thing. Read Full Review
