Steve Rogers is now a fugitive on the run with the Daughters of Liberty. The Watchdogs along with the Power Elite are involved in a storyline that resembles the current state of our country. It doesn't surprise me at all that Coates would draw these parallels. The art here is serviceable, but not much more. There are a ton of artists working on this arc which is never a good sign.
Man have I been enjoying this run. Following Cap and his team doing investigative work trying to track down the true person behind all the nonsense has been quite an adventure.
Finally we’re getting somewhere. Only took a year.
The art here is not my favorite, and that's what kept this from getting all five stars.That said, Coates loves Cap like I do. When you are a fan of Captain America, it's complicated. That is my relationship status with this fictional character, who has always been two things: a symbol of ambitions for Americans; aspirations, an icon of hope, of what we, on our better days, and in our largest hearts, hope that we are and can be. The other thing that Cap, editorially, has always been, is a mirror
Not my favorite story and I hate that Marvel keeps shoving Peggy Carter into everything. The art changed from Yu's. It's a different style, but it's still nice. The story in this volume dug into the history of the Daughters of Liberty, Wilson Fisk and more about Selene. I just didn't really find myself enjoying it. I like that the Daughters of Liberty are helping Steve, but this turned into Steve being left out of the bigger planning because Sharon and the others thought he couldn't handle it. I...
While I'm enjoying the story in this Cap run, helped by the fact that Ta-Nehisi Coates seems to have reined in his tendency to be unecessarily overly wordy, it has unfortunately been saddled with artwork that is just OK and that's really impacting on my enjoyment of the book. It wouldn't be as bad if they didn't keep changing artists mid-story. It's making what could have been a classic Cap run nothing more than so-so.
This was a pretty good volume too!Its pretty much Cap teaming up with different members of daughters of liberty like Spider-woman and Misty and well they go after the watchdogs and rescue people and stop riots and what not but when a man named Angel Larimore is killed and cop killings happen we see that there is something else at play here and deep connections and what not, plus the coming of Scourge and how he is involved and how Cap stops him or does he?Its an excellent story and I love the wa...
Despite the dodgy title (The Legend Of Steve? Really?), this third volume of Coates Cap is great stuff. Now on the run, Steve has to navigate his new working relationship with Sharon Carter and the Daughters Of Liberty as they attempt to track down Scourge, while the Power Elite continue to make problems by assassinating the Mayor of New York, who just so happens to be the Kingpin.Coates seems to be really enjoying stripping back everything that makes Captain America, Captain America. Without th...
I will stick with Steve's Angels for another volume, perhaps, but the bouncing ball story and the underwhelming art make it a bit of a slog.I mean, what do you make of a page like this?
Cap being the inspiring Cap, secrets getting revealed, action and sorcery and necromancy and boy it’s a lot.The immediate story concerns cops killing protesters and protesters killing cops, and a corrupt, venal guy somewhat shadily elected to run the joint with a bizarre conspiracy twisting everyone’s opinion, inspiring militias to patrol the border and turn out on the street, all of them being manipulated by politicians with evil agendas. Which sounds pretty timely, but this was written long be...
Coates' Captain America continues to be strong, with great characters, a strong focus on Cap's continuity, and just a little too much plot-driven action for it to seem natural.This one pushes Steve through the motions to rehabilitate itself, which is the bit that's too plot-driven here, but shines in its focus on a new cop-killer: Scourge. Why is Scourge back? Why is he killing cops? That's the bit that's nice continuity.Some WWII retcons are also interesting, though we still have to see where t...
A good story but not amazing. I enjoy the daughters of liberty and the cameos are great. I feel like this isn't super exciting or new territory. I get it, not every cap story can me a major event but I guess I just want a little more. The focus seems to be on the daughter for now and that's fine its just not captivating me that much. The art is not great, I wasn't super impressed.
One of the best series I’ve ever read.
After the promise of the first two volumes, this is something of a step back, as the storyline becomes overly convoluted, with a bunch of talking and very little doing (symptomatic of Coates' early work with Black Panther). Add the rather dodgy artwork, and things aren't looking too good...
There's still an undeniable power and relevance to having America's symbol on the run while an alliance of villains called the Power Elite parcel up the country, or to having Cap investigate a cop-killer and only gradually realise how many of the police in Wilson Fisk's New York don't merit the name anymore. But the art here is all over the shop, and the more the story hinges on magic and ancient secret societies, the more Steve starts to feel like a passenger in an A-Force book with the wrong t...
At first I was loving this volume and wasn't sure why people rated it lower than the previous 2. But then it got messy and I can see why. Saying that it is still solid. So cap is having a rough time being on the run. Working with the daughters he tries his best to clear his name while also saving and protecting people. He is a superhero after all! But what happens when a cop-killer is set on the loose. Will Cap stop him in time? Who's bad? Who's good! These are the questions listed in this volum...
"If you can't believe in Captain America, what can you believe in?" After what I felt were two very solid initial arcs, the third volume of Coates' examination of the Captain America mythos lost me a bit with some scattered plotting and some occasionally ham-fisted characterization of Steve Rogers, though even a lesser Ta-Nehisi Coates book still has plenty of insight into American life and political power to offer.
The title of the collection made me expect a detailed follow-up on Sharon’s comment in the previous volume: “Then perhaps what we need right now isn’t Captain America. Maybe what we need is Steve Rogers.” I expected an exploration of what makes Steve special, how he can help the country without use of the Captain America mantle. But, no. Steve spends a lot of time wearing clothes resembling the MCU Captain America: The Winter Soldier style uniform. About 3 pages are devoted to Steve helping calm...
Steve continues to try to clear his name throughout this Volume, same as the last, and with the ending, it appears as if the next Volume finally will achieve that.Fighting against the Power Elite, the Watchdogs, corrupt cops, Kingpin, and those who want to stop him by any means, Cap is in trouble for sure. Steve is able to give one hell of a speech (with the help of Jessica Drew's pheromones calming the crowd) and get quite a bit of people on his side.The end of the Volume indicates that the rea...
We are taken deeper into this post-Secret Empire world and it dosen't seem any safer than being ruled by Hydra. We learn more about the Daughters of Liberty that are now helping Captain America and we learn that old enemies die hard. We now know exactly how big the conspiracy of the "Power Elite" goes and it seems that they may not be as Hydra-free as folks thought. I continue to enjoy Ta-Nehisi Coates' writing here and can't wait to see how Steve Rodgers gets out of this in one-piece.
