    Rick Remender continues to develop Captain America as no one! Here, what I really enjoyed is the political message. It's relevant and very interesting, and even more true in our days. There is no real story arc though: there are just teasings for the next volumes, and that's the main problem for me. Nuke is a perfect antagonist for Cap's ideas but his part in the plot is too short. The next villain that the story is teasing, the Iron Nail, isn't appealing at all. Hopefully, Captain America's characterization is still excellent and I want to know where the story is going.

    The new artist, Carlos Pacheco, is correct but some faces are odd. I preferred the other artist, Nic Klein, who draws only an issue. I hope that the series will quickly get a great and regular artist because it could get even better!
