If you're a comics fan, you should be reading this series. It's wonderful! Read Full Review

One of the best superhero books on the stands in part because every issue is a done in one story. Read Full Review

Waid, Samnee, and Wilson continue their star-spangled hot streak with this issue of Cap. Its a straightforward and fun story between two compelling opponents. I had a joy reading it and definitely recommend it. Pick it up. Read Full Review

Samnee absolutely delivered on the art side of this issue. The way he portrays Captain America is what works to really sell the story and set the lighthearted tone. Without him, this series would not have been able to accomplish what it’s done so far. The ending has me really excited. While I had a lot of fun reading these standalone issues, I can’t wait to see this creative team tackle a more long form arc. Read Full Review

What a good ol' fashioned comic book full of twists and turns! Mark Waid and Chris Samnee are effortlessly reminding us why we love Captain America, but comic books in general. Read Full Review

Though the pace is a bit uneven, this is still a great issue. Waid, Samnee, and Wilson ultimately continue to impress. Read Full Review

Overall, I am absolutely loving Captain America right now. I like that Steve is going on these little adventures through the Marvel Universe and we are learning, once again, what makes Steve Rogers such a great superhero. Captain America #697 features Kraven the Hunter, a fun interaction between a hero and villain that I have not read before. The art continues to be stunning and delightful to gaze over. Captain America is in a heap of trouble and this issue ends with a shocking cliff-hanger. You are not going to want to miss Captain America #697! Read Full Review

Another classic Steve Rogers story that takes the hero on another mission that has some serious stakes at the end. Read Full Review

Artist Chris Samnee makes the most of the premise, creating a dense, unsettling jungle environment and really capturing the scope of Cap's predicament. And while this issue maintains the done-in-one format of Waid and Samnee's issues so far, it does play its part in terms of advancing the overarching narrative Read Full Review

"Captain America" #697 slightly mixes up the tone and pace of the book for a more immediate story filled with danger and fantastic artwork! Read Full Review

Waid and Samnee have a style about them that I don't think would suit every Marvel character, though I would like to see them take on Spider-Man. You never know, these two may yetmake Captain America great again! Read Full Review

This could be top of the pile stuff - the potential of this team is clearly there - if the characterization just dug a bit deeper. Read Full Review

A decent issue with a better ending. Considering the first few issues of this new era was basic at best and not on the exciting side of things. It seems things could be finally getting interesting again. The part that worries me here is that Captain America's evil counterpart was vastly more interesting. If only because it was a huge change of pace. And Waid and Samnee have their work cut out for them trying to make what's old, new again. And hopefully, this is the first step in bringing out a more interesting Captain America. Read Full Review

An OK Cap story doesn't have much meat on its bones, quickly burning through some jungle tropes instead of anything stronger. Read Full Review

Chris Samnee delivers a master class in sequential art in this issue—the storytelling from panel to panel (i.e., Cap vs a Jaguar, the momentum of Kraven’s traps. Samnee and Waid have created magic together for a long time, but their Marvel-method style on “Black Widow” and now “Cap” seems both fresh and timeless. Great book.

Best comic I have read in awhile. Great story, art, and concept, with Cap at his best. Nice twist ending I did not see coming. Well done Mr. Waid!

Not sure what they are going to do going forward. I am kind of nervous, but this issue was great nonetheless. Awesome art and story.

Kraven kidnaps Cap and throws him into a Most Dangerous Game scenario with a few awesome twists. It's splendid fun, but when a surprise ongoing story starts up in the final scene, it's clearly taking over for a main story that's run out of steam a little early. This is still a blast - Chris Samnee's art is in top form - but it's not as epic as the last two issues.

A good review & the attraction for the cover make me trie this story. It's not a bad one, but not a very good one easer. I expected that the civilian cap wanted to help was a decoy. And in fact Cap & Kraven disappointed me a little on this story. The end was better. But I see no real reason to keep trying it. Cover - 2/2 a good cover connected to the inside. She succeed to have me teased. 2/2 Writing - Not a bad writing, but I yawn many times. And the end with the presence of Logan at the end didn't make me happy easer. Do he lost all his sense for accept the fact steve wasn't at there "rendez-vous" ? 1/3 Arts - The arts is really good, and with funny part. 3/3 Feeling - I don't care what happen to steve. A side effect of Secret Em pire. 0/2 6/10 more
