RATED T+
The clues and roadblocks continue to pile up for Captain America and Falcon as they try to discover the secret behind smuggled Vibranium and what ties it all has to Wakanda and a human trafficking ring as well. A truly gorgeous fun and powerful book that speaks to why Sam Wilson should be Captain America and really puts the hero to work dealing with a complicated world. Read Full Review
Silva and Carlos deliver some beautifully detailed and thrilling art. I love the stoic elements of Sam's story and how it contrasts with the espionage style visuals of Joaquin's story. Read Full Review
In short, Captain America: Symbol of Truth #3 continues a very strong start for the new series. There's nothing particularly flashy about the type of story this is or the way it's being told, but the skills of the creators have made it one of the best books in Marvel's current lineup.

Onyebuchi is a phenomenal storyteller and works his magic as he lays out the mystery for Captain America and Falcon. Captain America: Symbol of Truth #3 sets up the issues to come as the heroes are thrown into the deep end. Read Full Review
Unfortunately, we have a bit of a bait-and-switch on our hands since Doctor Doom is promoted heavily on the cover of Captain America: Symbol of Truth #3. Read Full Review
Captain America: Symbol of Truth #3 is a nonsensical series of random events where Sam Wilson investigates a Vibranium smuggling operation with no evidence and little more to go on than third-hand rumors. This issue is the opposite of a smart mystery where nothing is set up and none of the dots connect until the script tells you they connect. At least the art is visually solid. Read Full Review
After all, it's a solid issue of a solid series, I'm liking it
The art is just insanely gorgeous, particularly for a talk-heavy comic. And the talk doesn't really disappoint; the dialogue is natural and engaging practically all the way through.
I'm starting to worry about the big-picture plotting, though. This issue makes less sense than the previous one, and I don't think I've gotten stupider in the past month. I love all these puzzle pieces, but I'm starting to think the author needs to work a little harder putting them together for us.
Loving the art, mystery deepens, some politicking that isn't as clever or interesting as its presented at but overall entertaining.
This is one of those books that I can't say anything is really bad, buts it not overly exciting to read. It's a pretty middle of the road type read.
The series is all over the place and it's not holding my interest unlike the Spencer/Acuna series from years ago. The art is very good and is not a problem even with the switcheroo in artists. Might have to drop this.
