Jun 21, 2018Though it may seem like a straightforward finale, CAPTAIN AMERICA #704 is undoubtedly a strong conclusion to what's been a fun, unique Captain America arc. Read Full Review

Jun 21, 2018If you've been reading this current arc, you need this issue. The art style, as well as the color scheme, makes you feel like you're reading a comic from the 60's and 70's, which is totally by design by this creative team to make it feel like classic Cap. Read Full Review

Jun 20, 2018Several moments feel entirely tone deaf, but the material is at least elevated by Leonardo Romero's wonderful artwork. Read Full Review

The Super Powered Fancast - Deron Generally
Jun 20, 2018This arc was problematic from the start and while there was a really great moment in the third act that shaped an alright conclusion, there was no process with the character that would have led to that moment. Read Full Review

Jun 26, 2018The arc was okay. It was fine. Not great, not awful. Mostly forgettable, sadly, but not every arc can knock you on your butt and change the way you look at the world. That said, next up: Ta-Nehisi Coates! Read Full Review

Bleeding Cool - Joshua Davison
Jun 22, 2018Captain America #704 is a disappointing finale to this last story arc of Mark Waids stint on the title. Its resolution is both disconcerting and unsatisfying, and Jack Rogers turns from a beleaguered father to someone who is a little too ready to subscribe to borderline xenophobia. This one doesnt earn a recommendation. Give it a pass. Read Full Review

I see that this arc is getting little love from fans or critics, but I enjoyed this kind of "Elseworlds" story. I was captivated by pretty much the whole arc, and this issue is a fittingly good ending. Leonardo Romero's art is a good fit for this story, and while it may not "matter" because there's no Steve Rogers, how much do most individual issues or plotlines of a comic series matter anyway? I liked this.

this entire series is an 8 out of 10, definitely the best "modern" Captain America run.

It wasn't bad, but I'm giving it a lower grade due to no Captain America. It's not like I didn't enjoy the arc. I thought it was a lot of fun, but if there's no cap, why I am paying 4 bucks for a cap book with no cap??? Kind of disappointing, other than that a pretty cool eleworlds type story.

Jack helps the Red Skull throw the Kree off Earth, then turns on him to pull a "Cappily ever after" ending out of thin air. This story lacks heart. That makes the decision to use a "clap your hands if you believe" climax problematic, and it also undercuts the Cap-tastic platitudes at the end. I'm not a fan of the protagonist turning from Joe Underdog into Jack ˜ ˜ ˜ ˜ Bauer for one scene; if the author thought his plot absolutely required a vicious interrogation, he shoulda thought harder. Stacked against these serious drawbacks, what do we have in the plus column? The art is generally solid, swole-headed Skull excepted. And the palette is biased heavily toward red, white, and blue. I guess that's ... clever?

As bad or worse than the last several issues. Filler before the next run, and bad filler at that.

Go away, future story.

This whole arc was terrible. Despite Mark Waid's numerous disappointments as of late, this one sunk to new depths. Disorganized, unneeded, and not the least bit interesting. It got to the point of being just aggravating to push on. In Mark Waid's finale during his run here to "get Captain America" back to his roots, he completely abandoned Captain America for the final 4 chapters. Nothing this whole run was original or exciting. Thank God this is over. Excited to see what Ta-Nehisi Coates has to offer.
