CIVIL WAR II TIE-IN!
• With the battle lines forming, Sam must choose a side.
Rated T
While we don't have a Sam Wilson in the world to help end police brutality, it's nice to see a world where they do to help us imagine what it would be like. Read Full Review
The simple fact that Daniel Acuna is back on board with this issue is cause enough for celebration. Acuna helps kick off the series' Civil War II tie-in arc in style, balancing the high-flying heroics of the Avengers with the all-too real pain and bloodshed of the war against the Americops.

The artwork in Issue #11 has it moments: sometimes it's jam-packed with detail and looks outstanding, and other times it looks rather standard. This doesn't mean it's bad though, as it gives you a good feel as to what's occuring and how the characters are feeling at that precise moment. Read Full Review
Difficult topics, handled better than I worried they would be, with excellent art. Still can't wait til Civil War II is over... Read Full Review
Bits and Pieces:If I had to describe this issue in a single word, it would be unbalanced. On the one hand, you have a very promising and topical story with a nice tie to the current event, while on the other you have some messy character interactions that leave a little bit of a bitter taste on both sides on the conflict. As expected, the art of Daniel Acuna still makes the book look unique and awesome. While I might not have liked the Civil War parts, I can't wait to see where this story goes. Read Full Review
I want to give this a higher grade, because I think this book is onto something, but Spencer's ham-handedness in discussing these delicate matters can't be ignored. Read Full Review
Captain America comics have always reflected what was going on socially and politically at the time throughout its run. The difference between Sam and Steve being Steve taking an old fashioned view on the subjects. While Sam may not hold the old fashion view the spirit of the book is still very much the same. It seems Spencer reminds us how similar the path is by throwing in some nostalgia when he tells his stories. We see the continued problem of the aggressive Americops and nostalgia creep in again with one of the most violent men to carry the title Captain America, the (now) U.S. Agent. Also Sam hears both friends side of the building war as they try to gain his allegiance. Spencer does a good job of showing the struggle in making choice more
This run continues to pick up momentum. Don't let the cover fool you this isn't a simple tie in issue as we get down with Caps morality and I love how complex and thoughtful he is with every decision. Sam is really fleshed out to feel like a real person. This issue feels very cinematic, Especially the parts with US AGENT. Its totally badass and you can already see some of the scenes being used in a film or tv show as they were laid out masterfully. Great Issue and US AGENT parts was so exciting I had to say it was my favorite part of this issue. Cant wait to see how hes used.
Another week, and this time we really get to hear what Sam Wilson really thinks about the events of Civil War II so far and the Americop story arc begins to hot up. A solid issue, nothing spectacular but an enjoyable read none the less.
