The Super Powered Fancast - Deron Generally
Aug 10, 2022Carnero delivers some beautifully detailed art throughout the issue. I love the classic action of Steves story and was impressed with the visual style of the Bucky/Peggy confrontation. Read Full Review

But Why Tho? - Collier "CJ" Jennings
Aug 10, 2022Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty #3 continues to peel back the layers behind the Outer Circle while putting Steve Rogers through his paces. Given the end of the issue, it looks as though Steves civilian life will be in the Circles crosshairs, and that the Redacted may be just as deadly a foe as the Red Skull or Baron Zemo ever was.

AIPT - Lia Williamson
Aug 10, 2022Lanzing and Kelly's writing is still great and it's clear the two love the characters of Steve and Bucky. Their voices for those characters feel completely authentic and they seem to get how those two think and what makes themthem.Carnero's pencils are again a show stealer, making every page look absolutely gorgeous.

Aug 13, 2022Another banger of an issue keeps this story moving along nicely, even if some of the reveals about this new villain secret society might bite off more than they can chew. Read Full Review

Aug 10, 2022My biggest complaint about Sentinel of Liberty has been the dud of a central mystery, one that relied more on buzzwords and teases than actual substance. This issue goes a long way to correct that, with the beginning of an explanation as to the new enemy that Rogers faces and its ties to Captain America's shield. Read Full Review

Weird Science Marvel Comics - mrgabehernandez
Aug 10, 2022Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty #3 ticks all the technical checkboxes for what you want to see in a Captain America comic. Cap's "voice is right, the action is energetic, and the stakes are high. However, the big revelation hinges on a very large plothole, and the villain's identity is remarkably unoriginal.

I can't emphasize how much I love this book enough! All three issues have been brilliant! This is exactly what I want out of a captain America story. The artwork is also stunning and makes you take a moment to admire it from time to time. This creative team deserves an award for creating what so far is one of the best captain America stories ever in my opinion. I absolutely love this

This is going to be one of the best runs in captain America since Brubaker, I'm sure

The basic premises of the story aren't incredibly novel. "Hero vs. all-powerful conspiracy" and "Cap has a sinister secret origin" -- we've heard these songs before. But the way those premises are worked up into a story is incredible. The characters are compelling, the action is exciting, and the plot is stitched together with clear cause-and-effect logic. And it's also supported by subtle details (in both the script and the visuals) that reward close attention with rich nuances. Example: The way the art silently shows Cap stroking the gouges the Redacted left in the wall, a few pages before he discovers the secret message carved in the grooves of his shield? I don't think that's an accident.

Right back up, in terms of quality. Carnero delivers fantastic work here yet again, and I found the story more intriguing this time around. I really like the concept of the Redacted, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of that as the series continues. Additionally, I'm looking forward to Steve and Bucky's, respective, stories coming together at some point.

The Peggy/Bucky showdown is by far the more interesting half of this issue, but it all looks great thanks to Carnero's beautiful storytelling

7.5
This story had everything you would want in a great Cap/ Steve Rogers book. The dialogue and voices are good, the mystery and intrigue, and even better a lot of beautiful art by Carnero/Woodard. But this issue just didn't land right. Too many holes starting with the shield that had a secret message from its original maker....hhmm but this shield was broken by Thanos decades ago and heck even shattered just a few months ago in Savage Avengers. How has this message remained there untouched for almost a century? Was it put back by whoever rebuilt it? I can't reconcile this point and the new organization aka the new Hydra just hasn't worked for me. Plus the nonsense overplayed bickering between Bucky and Peggy isn't working. I will stay with th more

A little corny in some parts, but overall an enjoyable read. I really like Carnero's Cap.

I love seeing Steve Rogers as Cap, but I'm really confused by this whole story. It's just not making any sense. Having a new type of Hydra is cool, but messing with the origin of the shield and putting a message in it is absurd. Too much time has passed to make this relevant or believable. Then Bucky has a fight with Peggy. I'm so utterly confused that they're losing me. And the villain keeps saying, "History will not remember you." Again, too much time has passed. It's too late for that treat. History already remembers him. I hope this gets better, this issue put too much of a negative spin on the story. I hope it corrects itself.
