Steve Rogers returns to New York with more questions than answers about the origin of the shield, only to discover that Bucky knows more about the sinister Outer Circle than Steve realized. And now something is stalking Captain America through the streets of Manhattan, putting everyone who crosses paths with Steve in danger?
Some very creative, clever writing raises this issue up a few notches, and it's already a pretty great exploration of the human side of Steve Rogers in the face of the new, big threat. Read Full Review
Carnero delivers some beautifully detailed and thrilling art throughout the issue. Even though there isnt much action in the story itself, there are wonderful visual moments of tension and drama throughout. Read Full Review
Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty #4offers a thoughtful look into what Captain America means to different people as Steve Rogers decides to confront the Inner Circle on his terms. Issue by issue, this continues to be one of the best takes on Captain America and one of Marvel's best books, and I would be remiss if I didn't recommend it to Cap fans. Read Full Review

I'm still not convinced about Outer Circle as a viable threat, but I am enjoying this comic's take on Steve Rogers. Read Full Review
Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty #4 gives readers a grand tour of Cap's neighborhood as he asks everyone he knows what they think about America. The cynical, jaded views of America will turn some readers off, but the message isn't the flaw. It's the fact that an entire comic is taken up with Cap figuring out what America means to him. This issue is a waste of space. Read Full Review
This continues to be a stellar book! The writing is brilliant as it embodies everything captain America is about. There is a great emotional and human side to this story that I love. The artwork is also phenomenal. I think the art matches the tone of the story perfectly. This continues to be a brilliant book.
So, I love this (does anybody bust out a 9+ rating if that's not the case?).
The art is formidable, the philosophical intent is even better, and the script is terrific, too. There are tons of beautifully-turned phrases sprinkled all through the prose.
I think the one place it falls short of perfection is that the connection between the philosophy and the plot developments could be a little stronger. But all of the storytelling is handled with such exquisite skill that I'm happy to stretch out and meet the creators in the middle on that point.
How many of the Redacted's sneak peeks did you catch before the showdown? I found 3, and I bet there were more.
Oh, and if anybody puts in the work to crack more
To be honest I still don't like this whole "outer circle" thing, I hope it pays off.
But the take on Steve Rogers and the beautiful art are enough for me (for now)
This is bold. Basically, it's Retcon City... But I kinda dig it.
It's another book with cap talking about what the shield and America is. It's pretty typical stuff. Pretty corny ending.
