Rated T+
One review for this comic dropped it a couple of points for the lack of action and how much text there was. Personally, for the first issue of a new arc I'm don't think these take away from the issue at all. The characters are given a chance to develop and the stage is now set for what I hope will be a fantastic new arc in Captain America's story. Read Full Review
There's no action in this comic. There's a huge amount of narrative, monologue, and plotlines to get stuck into, but nothing visual. There's a thick portion of story to get through which is a treat, and there's a promise of a big battle at some point. This is the start of a new, fascinating, and thrilling arc. Read Full Review
There's a lot going on in Captain America #7. A. LOT. Plotting, scheming, monologuing...it's easy to lose track of who's siding with whom to betray who. But once you get the various sides straight, you can appreciate the complexity of Nick Spencer's (still?) controversial Cap story arc. Read Full Review
If you've dug the flashbacks in this series prepare yourself for some of the most interesting and enlightening scenes yet. Spencer is expanding the story in interesting and global ways, making Captain America the go to for political intrigue in comics. That said, there's so much dialogue it gets to the point where it becomes a chore to read through this. There are interesting elements being set up sure, but the balance and pace is slowed to a crawl. Read Full Review
[ART: 9.5 | STORY: 9 | WRITING: 9.1 | TOTAL: 9.2 (~9)] This book goes from high to high for me. It's great having Jesús Saiz back on board: he brings this book up an extra notch. Some really great stuff here from a writing point of view. Nick Spencer is crafting a fantastic tale. It's also great seeing the flashbacks subtly start to link up to the main story just a bit more. My only complaint would be that there's a lot of characters with very specific plans to keep track of it. After rereading, it was a lot clearer, but it's something to keep in mind for an otherwise terrific issue. Needless to say, this arc should be very interesting.
Great script and art. This book is heartbrakingly awesome.
After a few iffy issues this book is really picking up steam...loved the surprise ending.
Man, Jesus Saiz draws the hell out of Red Skull.
Score: 8
