CAPTAIN AMERICA VS. THE EMISSARY!
It's a fight to the death as Captain America races to take down the Emissary before he destroys a peace rally - and Cap himself. But when physical might proves futile against the supernatural, will an assist from Doctor Strange be enough to turn the tide?
Rated T+
Medina offers some great art in the issue. I really loved the visual style and how it handled both the action and characters in a way that made everything visually compelling. Read Full Review
Nevertheless, the insight provided to Steves youth was pretty cool. The character and determination of a young Cap showcase just where his true superpower is. Caps willpower and ability to do what is good and justice are completely unparalleled. And that aspect of Captain America #6 was very impressive. Would I buy this issue? Yes, however only if Ive been all in to this point of the run. Realistically, its not the best issue to begin this series. However, this also isnt even close to the best issue of the run so far. Personally, I havent any problem offering up some grace to this creative team to see where this next arc is going before making any drastic calls. Let me know what you think, have a great week, and God Bless! Read Full Review
Captain America #6 brings the fight against Asmoday and the Emissary to a close with fast-paced action and a tight conclusion that sets up (demonic) trouble to come. That said, too much of this title is taken up with Young Steve Rogers's adventure in the past, which turns out to have no appreciable importance to the Captain's adventure in the present.

This storyline wraps up in a fairly normal fashion, with some enjoyable superheroics and some strong messaging about always standing up to Nazis. Read Full Review
I get what Straczynski is trying to say with this series, and the idea is admirable, but the execution has simply been missing from the very first page. Read Full Review
I'm not sure why the critics seem so put off by this title. Is it wordy? Sure. But what's being said is usually pretty poignant, and when it's not, it's fairly breezy dialogue that doesn't feel forced. This arc is a near-classic sort of Captain America story. Nazis are bad; progress is good. I don't see the big misstep that I hear about in the reviews. One of the best aspects about the Captain America character that is ever-present in this first arc is his indomitable will. His persistent and unwavering defiance of strongmen. His frank inability to stand by and let hatred go unanswered. It's Cap at his best. This is a trade I would hand to someone who doesn't get Captain America, because I don't think you can read it and come away still mismore
Plot
This comic continues with two parallel stories that close this first story arc:
-Steve Rogers faces off with THE EMISSARY, Steve hopes that Stephen Strange will send him a weapon so he can fight the power of Asmoday through Emissary, this battle occurs while Mitsy Knight tries to enter the building where they both fight to save others who also they are trapped.
These people are dangerous for Asmoday because she considers them AGENTS OF CHANGE, like Steve Rogers, not because he is Captain America, but because he stopped a Nazi attack in 1940 like the weak and brave Steve.
Doctor Strange sent Cap the Eye of Agamotto, which joins his shield and is the weapon that weakens Asmoday and eliminates him. St more
For the first time in a while, I will have to disagree with the critics. This series is probably a nice change of pace, a fresh start, and a lot better than Nick Spencer and Collin Kelly's runs on Captain America. I haven't enjoyed a Captain America series since Mark Waid.
It's a pretty decent comic, that comes off a little to on the nose with its message. The story itself kept me entertained though.
