This was not a good issue at all. It was ridiculous and poorly written. Poorly written because Steve Rogers was so out of character and diminished to prop up Sam. There's no way that Sam would ever be Steve in a one-on-one fight. It is impossible for a myriad of reasons. PTSD? Lazy writing. The fight? There were some blows that Steve landed that should have left Sam out cold. Ridiculous. This whole entire issue is ridiculous. Wonky as all hell. This book is ending, right? Good thing.

The art in this book was fantastic and that's the only reason I'm giving it a 3.5 but the script was so god-awful that I had to take additional points away. Normally I go 5 for the art and five for the writing and subtract my points from there but this script was just utter garbage. I can't for the life of me figure out why DC Comics keeps letting Tom King churn out this crap. Anyone who gives this above a 5 should not be reviewing comics, Tom King has run out of steam. The man just can't write dialogue or story anymore, I don't know what happened to the guy who wrote Sheriff, Omega Men, Grayson, and Vision, he must have died and been replaced with a watered down clone. Halfway through this book it made me want to quit reading comics, that's how bad it is. I cannot stress how awful this story is, it has no substance, nothing. How did this garbage get through editorial? All I know is that Wally better not be dead, my favorite character should not be sacrificed for this guy's crap. Also, what's up with the poetry? is he really that creatively bankrupt that he has to steal poetry from other people to fill dialogue space? The End

This was solid. Right before I read the entire Becoming series and Black Manta and was ridiculously into it. I love what Brandon Thomas and Chuck Brown are doing.

I gave this a 9 because I gave the last one an 8.5 and I liked this one better than the last one. I think Jackson's getting a little hardcore, but I think that's because he's still a little messed up because of what happened to his mother in his miniseries. Eventually he's going to need to talk about it and people are going to start to need to talk him down. What he did to Orm and how painful it looked on that last page, damn.

I don't have time to write anything but I read it just now and absolutely loved it. Corey Smith is amazing. I can't wait to see what happens in this run.

It was fantastic. It had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. When I got to the "to be continued..." I was pissed because I had to wait another month to continue the story. I can't wait to read the next issue! In fact, I was going to give it a 9, but while writing it I got so hyped, I changed it to a 10.
