Apr 22, 2026Chip Zdarky’s Captain America run has been transcendental. This is exactly what Captain America should be. This is a Cap that knows that doing what’s right isn’t always the same thing as doing what’s popular. If you aren’t reading this run, you should run out and pick it up now. It’s that good!

Apr 25, 2026The conflict and the characters still feel skin deep, but then I suppose modern comics don’t allow the time it would take to really build this political struggle into something real. Read Full Review

The art is better than last issue, however, I don’t like it when there’s a new artist almost every month. This is how you lose readers, even if the story is as strong as this one. Just settle on a fricking regular artist, Marvel. My favorite would be Delio Diaz.
