It's a showdown between Captain America and Black Panther, with the fate of two countries on the line! And when the dust settles, who will pay the price for Sam Wilson's incursion into Wakanda? Meanwhile, Falcon uncovers a piece of evidence that changes the scope of the mission - and exposes the White Wolf's ultimate motive.
This comic showcases Sam Wilson and his unique perspective as Captain America. It shows how he can represent the symbol of Captain America without embracing the imperialism and injustice that could represent. All of this combined with exciting conflicts, great action and the best art we have had in a Marvel comic in years. This is an excellent book and a model for how to use Sam Wilson as Captain America in the modern world. Read Full Review
‘Captain America: Symbol of Truth' #5 wraps up the series' first story arc with heated political debates, international consequences, and sets up all the pieces for the next part of the White Wolf's background manipulations. Sam Wilson's return to carrying the shield and mantle in his own series has been very successful, making sure to stay true to the character while displaying why he's very much needed as a different type of Captain America.

The art matches the intensity of the fight, and things wrap up nicely in order to transition into the next story arc. Read Full Review
Silva and Shaw deliver some fantastic and beautifully detailed art in the issue. The Sam Wilson/Black Panther was beautifully staged and I wish it lasted longer both narratively and visually. Read Full Review
Captain America: Symbol Of Truth #5 starts off with a fight that makes little sense and ends with a whimper instead of a bang. While the art is enjoyable and the individual issue is the most coherent of the run so far, the writer neglected to do basic research about the characters or how to construct a plot. Read Full Review
I thought this was a great finale to this first arc. Actions have consequences, and I have no doubt those consequences will continue to play out from here. Which is pretty integral to a good Cap run, in my opinion. These Cap books lately have been killing it.
This was a nice kind of "finale" for the first part of the conflict.
The change in the art was weird but I actually like a lot the art in this book.
I think it's a satisfying end to the first arc, and most of the character work going on is pretty sweet, too. The art is great (though prior issues were even better).
While I like the content, I believe the script could have orchestrated it better. There are a lot of words here, but only the brutal exchanges between Cap and the Panther have real impact.
I have similar feelings about the arc as a whole. I like the plot, but I think it could have been structured to be both clearer and more suspenseful, with a more dramatic resolution. Similarly, I think the independent plot/character development handed to the Falcon needed stronger writing.
Big consequences come out of this arc but they feel so sudden. Consequences who's implications are complex, troubling, and important. But the book works in broad strokes and doesn't really attempt to dig any deeper to what it is trying to say and do.
It's just a super hero comic. And it's a fine and fun one.
Still kinda weak and rushed. I like the ideas, but the execution is meh.
It had some good dialogue in parts. It also had a very anticlimactic end to this arc. It's just good enough to keep reading, but hopefully it gives us more heart.
