SECRET EMPIRE TIE-IN!
IN CAP WE TRUST!
Rated T+
While some might be annoyed at the lack of quick-fix action or be appalled at the storyline, it's still an incredible issue. The politics of it may be a bitter pill for some to swallow, but Steve Rogers: Captain America #17 is a topical, socially relevant tale and is highly recommended. Read Full Review
A strong, Frontline type story that makes a strong point to fear the propaganda of a government! Read Full Review
In terms of its contribution to the larger Secret Empire narrative, Captain America: Steve Rogers #17 is a winner. It offers crucial context for the story and how Hydra's rise impacts both the superhuman community and ordinary Americans. But as with so many issues of this series, the art is disappointingly rushed and haphazard. Read Full Review

Spencer's script is strong here as the tension in the interview slowly builds to a boiling point. Sure this was basically an excuse to layout a bunch of exposition, but at least it was handled well. The issue comes from the aforementioned art. When your comic is built on conversation you need to have panels filled with quality acting. That was by no means the case. Whether it is the strict deadlines these artist have to meet or the sheer amount of content they have to keep up with, something is amiss when the biggest comic book company in the world is putting out substandard content.

With art that's just not up to par and a story that feels like a writer attempting to justify an entire event, Captain America: Steve Rogers #17 falls flat in so many ways. It's another example of a poorly thought out event that's being driven in odd ways with mixed messages. An issue that gives a little more depth feels more like a Twitter rant justifying its own existence. Read Full Review
The art is terrific, but the story's been dragged out for far too long. The end can't get here fast enough for me. Read Full Review
Amazingly written and tied in to today's political climate
The art is lacking compared to the rest of the series, but it is all made up for in story. I thought this was a great read from a different perspective than the other issues. A news reporter has an interview with none other than Supreme Leader Steve Rogers! It shows the concerns people have about the new regime and it also shows just how far Hydra will go to keep it. The whole attack in Vegas from Secret Empire seems to be a focal point and the repercussions of what happens when Steve Rogers is reminded of it is devastating! As much hate as this series/ Secret Empire has received, it is one of favorites of all time and I honestly can not wait to see how this goes/ ends.
cerebral and bone chilling!!! Excellent
Great characterization of fascism by Spencer that's undermined by the passable art.
This was a great issue it adds to the Secret Empire arc by showing how some citizens view Captain America and shows what happened to mutants.
I dont get the hate.
This would've gotten a 9 in my book if the art was better. Other than that, another amazing issue!
An interview with Supreme Hydra Steve Rogers is equal parts informative and frightening. The interview conceit is an excellent way to gift-wrap "What's Up With Hydrated America, Part 1: Mutants and Inhumans." Besides updating us on those groups (got a "breakaway" republic that's actually a Hydra gimme and socked into concentration camps, respectively), this issue also features a heaping helping of Stevil's chilling #MakeHydraGreatAgain rhetoric. That rhetoric has a frighteningly seductive appeal - and it certainly sounds relevant (maybe even too relevant) in 2017. Strong dialogue and fascinating ideas, but the art is getting positively schizophrenic in its inconsistency and there are a few glimpses of Hydra's "Day Zero" takeover that are mo more
Too many problematic elements disrupting the logic of the rest of the MU titles in general. Otherwise a strong installment storywise while equally(and ongoing) and uninspiring(and bothersome) Capverse-wise.
Exposition! Filling in gaps! Characters acting against type! Heavy-handedness! Shitty, substandard art! It's "Steve Rogers: Captain America," the title that always leaves me with the question, why the fuck am I reading this?
