Captain America: Steve Rogers #8 is a middling chapter in a sluggish saga that could still have a dramatic conclusion. It needs to hurry up and kick into gear, though, because if a climax happens in a comic, and no one's there to read it, it likely won't make an impact. Read Full Review
The concentration on Zemo and his terrible plans is cool, but we just can't seem to get into it all. Perhaps it's because we're here for Captain America, but instead we're getting a slow and sluggish instalment that is building towards something bigger. Hopefully all of this buildup works in crafting a dramatic and worthwhile conclusion. Read Full Review
I really liked this issue; it may be a slow burn, but for me, the intrigue continues to build. I must say I am fascinated by the machinations of Hydra-Cap, and Spencer's story is offset by awesome Jesus Saiz art. This is shaping into a strong series.
another young predictive justice person in Quasar??!! Here we go again..
[ART: 9.5 | STORY: 7 | WRITING: 7 | TOTAL: 7.2 (~7)] This issue was a bit of a disappointment. The last issue set things in motion for an interesting follow-up, but instead we got a Thunderbolts tie-in. I'm not really sure what's happening in Thunderbolts and it's never really explained here, so it was all a bit confusing. It was nice seeing Quasar again. Saiz on art is always a highlight. Overall, a bit of an odd issue, but hopefully things get back on track when we switch back to the main conflict. Spencer is a really competent writer, so I still am looking forward to each issue of this series.
