The issue transitions seamlessly from an action-packed train heist to a quiet double-date between Cap and Misty Knight. The Cap-Misty Knight scenes come off as the highlight of the issue, with Tochi Onyebuchi nailing both characters' voices, and R.B. Silva, Jesus Aburtov, and Joe Caramagna bringing Harlem to life.

StoryWith Captain America: Symbol of Truth #1, Tochi Onyebuchi tells a self-contained story that does a great job of appealing to new readers and old alike. Amid the excitement, Onyebuchi takes a step back to give wider context to the overarching story and direction of the series.  The flashback is well placed and helps build the tension of the issue.   Read Full Review

A fun action-packed start to a series that promises to give us what we expect from a good action-adventure and more. Read Full Review

Captain America: Symbol of Truth #1 is a good start. There's a lot of summer popcorn aspects to it and it sets things to come nicely. Overall, there's a lot of potential here. What remains to be seen is how this series differentiates itself from the other Captain America series that's coming. The two should be intriguing together and here's hoping they compliment each other for a greater experience. Read Full Review

Symbol of Truth also delivers on the art side, with R.B. Silva delivering great visuals throughout. Silva really came into popular esteem with Powers of X a few years ago and has since become something of a superstar artist for Marvel, which this issue more than exemplifies. There are some great images here that are elevated by color artist Jesus Aburtov, whose use of light offers a feel of near-realism to the page. Whereas past creative teams may have not delivered on the promise of Sam Wilson as Captain America, this issue gives me no reason to doubt that Onyebuchi and Silva, at least for this first arc, can live up to the hype.

This was a speedy introduction to America's new mascot, and it was packed with a lot of action. I think it could have benefitted from slowing down in its pacing just a little, further allowing us to become more acquainted with our new hero. That being said, it was still a good introduction with a lot of potential for the future of the series. Sam Wilson's evolution into the character will definitely be one worth following.

A panel from Captain America: Symbol Of Truth #1It's too soon to say anything meaningful about the series yet, but Captain America: Symbol Of Truth #1 is a strong start, and Onyebuchi's voice (aided by Caramagna) is distinctive. Here, we host a preview here that Rich Johnston dressed up as a potted plant to procure. (Spoilers: He didn't, but Jude needed to make word count.) Read Full Review

Captain America: Symbol of Truth #1 has a great look to it with excellent panel design and colors. However, the story has too many nonsensical plot points that don't make any sense, and the big battle scene contains some of the most head-scratching choreography in recent memory. If this is the best Marvel could do for a Sam Wilson/Captain America #1, the series is already in trouble. Read Full Review

Very strong first issue with fantastic art. Its mostly setup but it has some really nice characterization for Cap. Wilson's voice is done well hear, hes "sounds" like I remember. The action scenes are glorious.

Im interested to see where this goes.

Great start from Onyebuchi! Awesome RB "Leipzig" Silva art with Aburtov on colors making it look so fresh.

My first book from writer Tochi Onyebuchi and love seeing artist R. B. Silva; I gotta say I adored this first issue. The characterization is strong, the artwork is amazing, it's classic comicbook stuff with an edge. I loved the pace of the action sequences and those wonderful scenes between Falcon and Knight.
The plot, while on the surface feels pretty typical, has enough unique beats sprinkled throughout to make it feel fresh.
Excited to read the next issue.

A good opening, happy to see Sam as Cap again co-operating with Steve (something I wish they had done years ago) love the shield. I liked this issue, I wanted to love it but I felt a little like it was too heavy on the mystery boxes and not enough made clear yet. Still really looking forward to the rest of the series.

It's a cool story, very well-crafted in its details. Strong points: The art is fantastic and I love the dialogue.

Weak spots: The big-picture plot is moving very slowly. Bits of the action scenes were unclear, with (very minor) faults in both scripting and drawing.

I'm cautiously optimistic. I want to see how the story unfolds, and I just hope it doesn't take too long to do it

It's entertaining for sure. Fast paced. My issue is no explanation to why Sam is cap again, and some of the things the new Falcon did were just silly.

Not bad, but could have been better.

I'll get this out of the way upfront: There is no excuse for having 11 pages of your first issue be a flashback about eating dinner. None.

That said, this issue wasn't bad. I'm unfamiliar with the writer, Tochi Oneybuchi, but I felt they captured Sam and Joaquin's voices very well. The script was fine. It established the conflict, identified the players, and seeded some subplots. The bulk of the story focused on an attempt to stop smugglers on a train, with all the fisticuffs and explosions you'd expect. It was fine, though Joaquin's cousin being on the train was too much of a coincidence to swallow.I appreciated the use of the White Wolf. He's a great character that hasn't been used properly since the 90's. I am, however, over Crossbones.

The art is really good for the most part, but kinda stiff. Many of the panels feel like pin-ups instead of pieces of sequential art. The page layouts mostly use 2 or 4 large panels which can result in some panels feeling crowded by word balloons, or sometimes feeling like the actions depicted are unrelated to the previous panel. R. B. Silva's character work is outstanding. The lines are clean and precise. He makes excellent use of facial expressions, and body language to convey character and emotion. He also uses silhouette to good advantage. Unlike many comics I've seen lately, almost every panel has a detailed background.

This looks like a good, if slow, start to the series. I'm interested in seeing what comes next.
