Carnero delivers some stunning art throughout this issue. The action is visually thrilling, but the human moments are incredibly compelling as well. Read Full Review
This is a rich and creative comic, full of strong character moments and some high quality art and action. Everything one could want from a Captain America comic can be felt in this issue. Read Full Review
The comic sets itself up to have a really good political commentary about the global rise of fascism and how the government isn't actually working in good faith. Kelly and Lanzing have set up quite the plot to honor the core of Steve's character, delving into his past in new and exciting ways. Carnero has long been one of the best artists currently at Marvel and this book is another case to prove why. Read Full Review
This issue is a definite step forward for the series. It incorporates some interesting ideas that have existed on the fringe of the Marvel universe, and centers the story on characters. Meanwhile, the art is just stunning, creating one of the best looking mainline Marvel books on the stands. Read Full Review

Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty #2 presents a lot of good plot hooks that threaten to overcomplicate the story. Read Full Review
Final Thoughts:Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty #2 unwraps a secret cabal powerful enough to wield power over every other secret organization on Earth, both good and evil. The pacing is excellent, the dialog (except for an inexcusable line that comes off as an insult) is natural, and the plot has plenty of meat on the bone. However, the main villain reveal feels like another “been there, done that” retread that sucks all the creative potential out of the series. Read Full Review
I am not sure what other characters are going to turn up in this or if it is just Captain America and Bucky Barnes. Read Full Review
I love seeing Cap working with modern colleagues. I love a big conspiracy that begins to be unraveled and I love big reveals on the last page. This one had it all!

I love the way this issue maintains a tight focus on Steve's investigation -- and his new supporting cast -- while also giving us peeks at a vast evil conspiracy. The antagonists are shaping up very Hickman-esque, in an entirely positive way.
The art's quite nice. Oodles of detail, though the action scenes could be a touch more dynamic. The script has a good pace. The prose is all at least good, with some real gems of dialogue sparkling even higher.
This series is already shaping up into something outstanding.
This book is a far better one than its Sam Wilson counterpart. The story by Kelly and Lanzing is far more intriguing and the suspense building is there. Also the art is fantastic! Carmen Carnero is a fantastic artist and she illustrated the world of CAP/Steve Rogers very nicely. Woodard's colors are also well layered to fit the environments and objects well without being flashy. Just beautiful.
Better than #1. Got to compliment it before the reveal of this so-far interesting 5 star point mystery is told since that MIGHT taint this rating. Good art.
The concept is there. It is very solid conceptually. It really lacks in execution though. Like the dialogue and the way Steve progresses his journey is just corny.
I really enjoyed this issue. It's great to see Steve Rogers back in Cap series that feels like Cap. He's still the man out of time and I enjoyed him training the kid to fight bullies. I also enjoyed all of the villain groups combining their forces. There is a mystery going on with the guy that used to be an ally. I do agree with someone's comment about following orders. Though I think that if the word "blindly" would have changed the connotation. Cap is, of course, referring to Nazi soldiers, but to our soldiers, it does seem like a slap in the face. This line should have been reworded. Something like, "Blindly following orders is what the Nazis did. Do you want to be compared to them?" or something along those lines. This way it doesn't blmore
