PRELUDE TO COLD WAR!
Captain America and the new Invaders may be free from M.O.D.O.C.'s mind control, but they are not yet guaranteed their lives, and with the battle nearly won, the Outer Circle have arrived on the ground to collect their prize. It's up to Steve Rogers to wrestle victory from the Power and finally end the Outer Circle's invasion of Manhattan - but choices made at this critical point will alter Steve's understanding of friendship and the stakes of his fight against the Outer Circle for good.
Rated T+
Lanzing and Kelly are certainly still having fun in their sandbox, but Carmen Carnero's pencils are not to be overlooked. She was certainly a great artist on Hellions, which was undoubtably one of the best books of the Krakoa era, but she's really letting her creativity soar to new heights with Sentinel of Liberty. The action sequences shine once more and her panel layout is beyond eye catching. This is truly shaping up to be one of the great Cap runs in every category. Read Full Review
Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty #11 is an action packed conclusion to the second arc of Steves fight against the Outer Circle and with even more enemies in the way, his fight has only just begun. With awesome writing by Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly, amazing art and colors by Carmen Carnero and Nolan Woodard and fantastic letters by Joe Caramagna, this might be one of the best books that Marvels currently publishing!

Carnero delivers some awesome visual in the issue. The art is dynamic, thrilling and visually exciting. The action is great and I love the visual contrast between the Steve Rogers moments and the ones with Bucky. Read Full Review
"Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty #11 concludes a decisive battle and teases an upcoming crossover story with enthusiasm. Read Full Review
While I feel like the action bits in this comic are still the weakest parts, I enjoy the character building and the layers of intrigue that are gradually getting built here. Read Full Review
This second storyline wasn't as strong as the first, but at least it has a strong ending. Read Full Review
Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty #11 ends the major conflict against the Outer Circle (for now) with a big ol' “meh.” Carnero's action sequences are great, but the fight ends with a minor victory that doesn't truly resolve anything. It feels like the conclusion goes soft as a setup for better things in the next event, which is a poor excuse for an ending. Read Full Review
I can't praise this book enough. It is consistently great. It manages to tell a compelling, thrilling, heartfelt story while still being full of outlandish comic-booky things that we all love. The art is great, too. I am super excited to see what Cold War brings us. Both Cap titles are well worth your time, and so this crossover has nothing but good things to stand on.

This book is solid even when I'm not completely sold on the premise of this outer circle and the starpoints and all that but I love the way Steve Rogers is writed here and all the other chars. I just wish this "cold war" event is more about giving nuance to Bucky Barnes and his relationship with Steve.
It's a thoroughly satisfying finale for the arc. Big wins, but tempered with some heartbreak.
The language is simple but realistic and powerful. The art remains excellent, though the polish and posing are slipping ever so slightly. Carmen Carnero deserves a break after the tour de force performance she's put in on this title, though.
It's a good Cap book and the art from Carnero is phenomenal with Woodard's beautiful colors. I wish I cared more about the outer circle narrative and that's the holding obstacle. I wish Kelly and Lanzing did a better setup. They went too big and You'd have to erase so much canon, history and use so much disbelief that it bogs the story down. It's enjoyable when you erase those elements. I keep reading mostly because Carnero is a master of her craft.
