Sep 15, 2025Captain America #3 is fantastically written by Zdarsky in terms of developing the story but still keeping the readers thinking about the current world around them whilst doing so. The fantastic art from Schiti and Martin which combined really helps Zdarsky in tell his story. He truly is lucky to have a creative team behind him that can add to his story and understand what he's trying to do where in it. Please, please, please keep up the fantastic work, all of you. Every minute detail has been picked up on and it really does add to the telling of the story! Can't wait for issue 4! Read Full Review

Sep 10, 2025Captain America #3 veers away from bombastic superheroics, instead leaning into quiet dread, political subtext, and emotional resonance. Doom isnt just a supervillain; he's a symbol of a harsh new era Steve must adapt to. The art and pacing underscore the sensory weight of that emotional journey. With rich landscapes, moody shading, real sense of place, this issue pops with a vivid sense of unease and displacement. Captain America #3 feels cinematic in its tensionan emotional ambush wrapped in gothic architecture and political power plays. Its not just a battle; its a reckoning. If you came for punchy heroics, this may feel slowerbut for those eager to explore Steve Rogers psyche as he faces a world that has moved on, this issue is a rich, slow-burn gem. If you want atmosphere over spectacle and weight over fireworks, this is worth it. Read Full Review

Comic Watch - Theron Couch
Sep 11, 2025Zdarsky isnt afraid to bring up major, sometimes divisive topics head on. Hes also willing in most cases to let the reader draw their own conclusions. This issue is no different than the first two in that regard. Its a good way to keep the series both compelling and relevant to major issues of the day. All of that said, Captain America #3s greatest strength is the powerful art in the issues final pages. If you havent picked up Captain America yet, do yourself a favor and grab an issue.

Sep 20, 2025The stories in this series continue to be very strong, though I want more focus on the new David Colton character over just another Doctor Doom story. But that might just be me. Read Full Review
