a series that began with the idea that steve’s mentally become aged with time and can’t believe in who he’s fighting for anymore, and ended with a boring conclusion. this series wants to establish a lot of new ground, yet the fact characters like aaron will likely never appear again prevents that from happening. as well as this, sam donning the shield again only to end up being referred to as “falcon” in the final issue, as well as bucky going back to being the winter soldier, really sours the m...

A speedster dressed like Captain America steals Cap's shield to use it to give Captain America a bad name. Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson go on a cross-country trip after fake Cap and meet a network of people inspired by Captain America called the Captains along the way. Each issue has a backup origin story for each of the Captains written by someone within the community of said Captain which I thought was pretty cool.A decent premise but it just falls apart in the second half. Those last two issue...

I own this book. I'm loyal to nothing. Except the dream. I actually said that once. Here's the thing about a dream though. A dream isn't real. When we wake up, it goes away. And we're left yearning inside like something was taken from us. I loved this mini-series. I think this book has a really great progression from where we left Steve in Ta-Nehisi Coate's Captain America run. We see a Steve somewhat disillusioned with his position as the patriotic man with a plan, questioning how an idea li

4.25Some really cool parts about this story. Wrapped up too easily, though. Spoiler: the good guys win. Some interesting points about the intentional subversion of American symbology. I want to next see a network of Captains who do awful things but see themselves as the good guys.

At their core, heroes are supposed to be inspirational. That gets complicated when your hero is wrapped in a flag, and that flag is connected to a lot of different kinds of feelings for a lot of different kinds of people. At the core of this volume is a story involving unabashed evil, and some basic exploration about where that comes from, and the heroes who fight it - and some expansion of the ideas of who exactly that might be. All of that, though, is a device to introduce you to the Captains

I like the concept behind it, but it felt like a PBS Kids show.

Pretty awesome idea, but poor execution that didn’t do anything for me personally. I liked all of the Captain America’s they brought in, but the villain and plot itself are so uninspired it ends up leading to a terribly mediocre conclusion that has zero stakes. I also hated how USAgent was written in this too, but that’s more of a personal thing. Honestly this was just so bland and I’d recommend you skip unless you love Cap.

An interesting start reexamines the American Dream and introduces a diverse cast of characters to don the mantle of Captain America around the country, but it quickly devolves into a retro and ham-fisted superhero team-up road trip with Nazis. (One character actually calls Steve Rogers "the living end of Godwin's Law.") It's like one of those old DC or Marvel comics from the '80s or '90s that existed solely to sell a new toy line.It's nice that diverse writers like Darcie Little Badger were brou...

Very good! And I hope it pissed off all the really sensitive, bigoted dudebros, too!As a very big Captain America fan, this is a perfect series to hopefully get the point across that Captain America is more than just Steve Rogers. I love Steve a lot and this series did a great job demonstrating (for the HUNDREDTH time) that Steve Rogers fights for the oppressed, not out of blind patriotism. The mantle can be held by anyone who does the same and I really loved that Cantwell decided to have the ma...

A cool idea but with the art and story feels like made for very young kids. Which was more adult oriented. But yeah didn't do much for me.

A Captain America imposter steals Steve Rogers' iconic shield, prompting him to recruit Bucky Barnes and Sam Wilson for a cross-country pursuit. Along the way, they met a network of other Captains America, each of which with their own unique backstory and reason to wear the flag. Can a United States Of Captain America come together to stop a country-wide threat?I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would, to be honest. My biggest worry going in was that the main plot would just be a vehicle...

I love the themes and inclusive new characters. This is the Cap content we needed in 2021. 4.5/5 stars.

The premise to this is simple: Cap's (Steve) Shield gets taken by some facists and he teams up with Cap (Sam) to chase them across America, meeting people along the way who have taken up the mantle of Captain America to protect their local area and its problems. All the Captain Americas team up at the end to defeat the bad guys. But... The real message to this comic is much more vital. The US right now is a crazy place, thrown way off of track by people who don't even understand what it means to...

I liked this quite a bit more than I thought I would. The banter is fun, and I liked the new characters. The concept of a loosely connected network of normal people inspired by Captain America to help their own communities makes perfect sense in concept, and it provided an opportunity to introduce a handful of fun new characters, and the possibility for even more. That said, the actual villain plot this is all based around was unconvincing and shallow. It's no coincidence that the weakest issue

Marvel, please give me a Captains Network comic run!!The ending is a little weak, but I really enjoyed this. It’s what I want Captain America to always be; progressive and wanting a better future for all Americans.

Probably the best modern comic book series I have read in quite a long time.

Cantwell has been writing from a new perspective over in Iron Man, so I thought I would give this a try. Plus I haven't seen Eaglesham's work in awhile.This story does a couple things: primarily introduces the idea of The Captains. A group of ordinary folks around the US, inspired by Captain America, who dress up and try to help their local area. It also gives a little peak into the psyche of Steve (although nothing really new here) as well as a look at some modern day issues and how/where Steve...

Steve Rogers gets his shield nicked as part of (yet another) plot to discredit him and, in the course of tracking it down, discovers a network of people in underprivileged communities who have been taking the Captain America name and variations of the look to help the people around them - queer kids riding the rails, a district without clean water, a reservation, and so forth. Some see the original as a hero, others as a disappointment in need of a rerun of the slightly trying Green Lantern/Gree...

Could've been higher, but fell into the "same old" Cap story themes by the end.It's nice to see Marvel put out a story that's THIS inclusive. There's some unique Cap analogues in this story that, if needed, could definitely ground a Cap series into something beyond "go punch Nazis".Bonus: USAgent being a jerk and not a paranoid, conspiracy loving recluse and idiot. Somebody knows their Cap replacements.

Some people roll their eyes when I say that Steve Rogers is one of my favorite comic characters. But it's stories like these that only solidify that for me. While you would think someone so flashy and gaudy would be staunchly Republican and close-minded as the name suggests, he isn't. Steve Rogers has always been a hero for the people, giving those without a voice a chance to be heard. It was inspiring and exciting to experience the stories of so many other Captains America.
