"COLD WAR" AFTERMATH! Fresh from the battle with Bucky Barnes and White Wolf, Sam Wilson returns home to Harlem with battle scars and a renewed sense of focus. With Misty Knight by his side, he sets out to forge a new path - and maybe reunite with some old friends along the way.
Rated T+
Ze Carlos offers some beautifully detailed art and I love the bright, vibrant tone of the visuals as Sam has to deal with being in the light of family and community. The contrast with Joaquin living in the seclusion and darkness because of his ordeal is a great visual touch. Read Full Review
Sam Wilson's latest series holding the iconic shield comes to an unceremonious close as the final issue of ‘Captain America: Symbol Of Truth' has arrived. A solid focus on the title character doesn't soften the blow that comes with the loss of this series. Read Full Review
The actual center of the issues conflict may not be terribly interesting, but Sam Wilson is, in and of himself, more than enough to carry the bulk of the book straight through. Theres a strong and palpable sense of inner conflict that could easily be the center of everything. That psychological connection between character and reader is often a lot more difficult to achieve than a fully engaging action conflict, so Onyebuchi is doing a solidly respectable job with the title.

I will say I will miss this book, especially since there hasn't been an announcement regarding Sam headlining his own comic book. Read Full Review
Captain America: Sentinel Of Liberty #14 ends the series and the creative team's involvement with two plot threads that start a story that will never be finished. Sam Wilson is depressed, and Joaquin might be given an untested cure. Ultimately, there is no point in this issue. Read Full Review
Well at least the Joaquin thing was adressed here and all around this was much better than the Cold war "ending"
Damn, kinda sad to see this one go.
Def feels there was way more gas in this tank. And NO R. B. Silva on the art?
Kind of insulting...
But that's the business I guess...
The final issues made me appreciate the author's skills and interests more, and the guest art in this finale is a powerful breath of fresh air. I like this issue and would argue that it's objectively good.
I wouldn't go so far as to argue that it's conclusive (or even eventful), though. It recaps Sam and Joaquin's current struggles without resolving them. That'll certainly frustrate some readers.
