I didn't give it a score because I forgot to. I would have given it a 4.5. Not that it matters now. I wrote the review immediately after reading the issue.
CAPTAIN AMERICA: COLD WAR PART FOUR!
White Wolf's latest trap has left the Captains America barely standing, and Sam Wilson is hesitant to push the team toward certain death without a backup plan. But Steve Rogers will stop at nothing to rescue his son - even if it means taking down one of his closest friends!
Rated T+
The "Cold War" crossover slows down a beat to put the focus squarely on Sam Wilson and Steve Rogers who spend the issue fighting each other instead of Bucky Barnes and White Wolf. Read Full Review
Picking up right where the last issue of Steve Rogers' title left them, ‘Captain America: Symbol Of Truth' makes the Cold War a lot more personal as lines are drawn between heroes. An action-packed issue from start to finish, but one that hinges completely on the emotions and depth of its title characters. Read Full Review
Silva delivers some beautifully detailed and dramatic art that perfectly captures the tension of every moment. The fight between Steve and Sam is brilliantly executed visually and I look forward to seeing what's next. Read Full Review
This issue highlights the strengths, weaknesses, and complexities of both Caps, proving that while both may share the title, neither can take the other's place. Cold War might be wrapping up soon, but if nothing else is for certain, it's been one hell of a ride. Read Full Review
The overall story hasn't hooked me, and it relies too much on prior stories from a decade ago, but this is an otherwise perfectly readable part of Cold War. Read Full Review
Captain America: Symbol of Truth #13 is an issue-long fight that tries to duplicate the gravitas of Cap and Iron Man's conflict in Civil War but falls miles short. The art looks great, and if you just want to see the Captains fight, you may enjoy this comic. However, Onyebuchi's nonsensical character choices and Silva's wonky fight choreography make this issue a miss. Read Full Review
I still don't get what story they're trying to tell. Every issue has a different atmosphere and it looks like it's not progressing.
This was not a good issue at all. It was ridiculous and poorly written. Poorly written because Steve Rogers was so out of character and diminished to prop up Sam. There's no way that Sam would ever be Steve in a one-on-one fight. It is impossible for a myriad of reasons. PTSD? Lazy writing. The fight? There were some blows that Steve landed that should have left Sam out cold. Ridiculous. This whole entire issue is ridiculous. Wonky as all hell. This book is ending, right? Good thing.
