Captain America #18

Unfortunately, Jason Masters' art looked as flat as this story was. It's possible that a story with some emotional heft could have been elevated by the art, but neither the story nor the art made this issue memorable. Read Full Review

Captain America #18 (Coates, Masters, Milla, Petit) sees Cap emerge into the open and confront the people in what could have been a masterful issue that fell short in many ways. Read Full Review

While the issue promises on some neat storylines in the future, you can't help but think it had even more potential. Read Full Review

:The penultimate issue of this arc… and it really falls flat. Yet again, Ta-Nehisi Coates drags things out, and this book is moving simultaneously at a snail's pace, while details to fill in the gaps are completely glossed over and never referenced again. Coats seem to want Steve to have his cake and eat it too. He wants Steve to still be distrusted and looked at with suspicion, but at the flip of a switch be loved and admired againwith no buildup and no foreshadowing. We all love a great Steve Rogers inspirational speech, but here it just comes across as banal and uninspired. Heres hoping after this arc is finished we can start moving again! Read Full Review

The story is a little on the average side but it does set up future subplots. It is muddled by poor art and some confusing word balloons in the texting moments. Read Full Review

On suggestion from another user, I've picked up and read the past 4 issues after dropping it. Surprisingly, I wasn't lost (probably because this book is decompressed as hell) and I also enjoyed it a little. I'll add this back to the pull list I guess. My big complaint is the art has diminished significantly in quality since the first 2 arcs. Leinil Yu and Adam Kubert were top tier artists and now the art is definitely not up to their caliber. I can't say it's bad, it's just serviceable which isn't what you want for a main character book like Captain America.

This issue would be a lot better if the art held up. The emotional heft can't be felt if the characters don't emote properly. I don't like this turn for USAgent, btw. It doesn't make sense to me. And this series is already juggling so much, proven by how rushed this issue is, despite its decompression.

Bendis I mean Coates writes another decent but totally uninspired comic that makes you wish this was handled by a different writer

Well, the art wasn’t great, and the story kind of fell flat for me honestly. It felt rushed.

More like Jason Apprentice...Art is bad...Story is so lame..I guess US Agent is looking to be scourge? I dont know...its not great. Its still worth reading I hate to do this to myself but I consider later down the line reading this series as a whole with no gaps in issues...I bet story wise it would be a lot better. The art in this current arc sadly can never be helped.

Steve solves the immediate crisis, putting an end to a riot with inspirational speechifying and assaulting Scourge with acrobatic derring-do. Unfortunately, dreadful art neuters that second development and makes the whole book a chore to read.

Terrible conclusion to a pedestrian story (Scourge) with below average art. I first got involved in comics during Brubaker's Cap run so maybe I've been spoiled but Ta-Nehisi's run has been very very disappointing (though somewhat expected).

This is a terrible run on Captain America that needs to end soon.

Beautiful cover...and then just an awful comic. I am lost for words. I can't believe I paid $3.99 for this.
