Rated T+
Guara delivers some beautifully detailed art in the issue. The action is visually thrilling and there are some great visually emotional moments as well. Read Full Review
‘Captain America: Symbol Of Truth' #8 further complicates the situation that Sam Wilson finds himself in the middle of, giving us a clear view of what effect both his and the White Wolf's actions are having around the world. A solid series tackling the harsh realities that face someone like Captain America head-on, while wrapping them into a Marvel Universe-style context. Read Full Review
Appreciate what it's trying to do, but this very talky issue could have worked better if we actually SAW everything they were talking about. Which all sounded super interesting.
There's a lot of stuff in this issue that I like. Some of the dialogue is tasty; some of the character renderings are beautiful. And I actually appreciate the exposition in the last act explaining what the hell's going on in Mohannda.
But structurally, this is a mess. In words and art. The script doesn't build tension or deliver payoffs. Those pretty characters are all too often just posing randomly in a featureless void.
This is frustrating. This is *not* a mediocre comic. It's an ambitious one, but this month, at least, the creators' reach exceeds their grasp.
Unremarkable. Return of don't-call-me Nightshade is - something.
Nothing happens, just an explanation of a backstory.
A little better than last issue but I still donĀ“t like the writing. The art is also not great.
