In the wake of Maria Hill's court-martial, who will become the new head of S.H.I.E.L.D.? The answer will electrify you!
Rated T+
This is one of those issues that feels like the writer has had it in their drawer for some time. It comes together beautifully, hits major points, and progresses the story well. It's hard to fault it as things start to fall in place and the future of Cap in the Marvel universe becomes more clear. Read Full Review

Great story but man do they need a better compliment artist to Saiz.
CAPTAIN AMERICA: STEVE ROGERS continues to be my favorite Cap book in years. Issue #10 is another excellent installment. My only complaint...the only thing that brings the score down...would be the mediocre quality of the art for any page not drawn by Jesus Saiz.
SCORE: 7.7
Jack's story is really sad...
Maria Hill goes slightly rogue, Sharon turns SHIELD over to Hydrated Cap, and Steve gets a gimme on killing Jack Flag. The best-written part of this story is the 1940 section, and that's a reheated stew of bits that were more memorable in their MCU incarnation in the first Cap movie. To extend the food metaphors, the art in this issue is suffering from serious "too many cooks" problems, with none of the modern parts measuring up to Jesus Saiz's 40s flashback.
I have been fascinated by the idea of a Hydra-agent Cap moreso than the actual execution of the idea. It seems to have led to a lot of issues in which we get to see characters gathered...to talk. And talk. Occasionally captivating, all too often boring. I feel that Spencer is a bit too in love with having his characters debate, give speeches, and converse. This is not all bad, of course, except that there is no action to offer a reprieve from it. And the art here was pretty substandard. Jesus Saiz' name is on it, but I can't see anything here that looks like his art. Disappointing issue.
