Captain America by Ta-Nehisi Coates Vol. 4 by Ta-Nehisi Coates

Despite how much I loved volume one, this series took a dip for me shortly after that. However, I will say, this must’ve been a great run for fans of Sharon Carter. It’s the most I’ve seen done with her in any other series. I appreciate that, because she’s really been given the shirt end of the stick both in comics and the MCU. Coates seemed to really want to rectify that.

However, since I’m more of a Cap fan than a Sharon Carter fan, I can’t say this is in my top list of great Captain America comics.

I liked this volume better than the last. It seemed more cohesive, though the big baddie seemed to be caught a little bit too easily. I did like seeing Sharon kick some butt, as well as the mundane time Steven and Sharon spent together. Although it's a bit saccharine, the I appreciated last issue about the American Dream, and how, even though America was built on rotten foundations, and the American Dream was/is used to silence people who don't have equal opportunities as advertised, that the ideals of freedom and a multiracial, multicultural democracy are worth working towards and fighting for.

Naive writer/pencil artist: But how many times can we resurrect Red Skull?
Marvel bosses: Yes.

Oh, toxic masculinity and American exceptionalism. So glad Captain America is against it.

This series continues to entertain and build into a more complicated, enjoyable plot.

Truly enjoyed this one and the art of the first couple of issues. Felt like the story picked up the pace a bit.

3.5/5

this volume was a mild improvement on an otherwise very underwhelming story; I wish Coates had done a better job at hiding his lack of interest in Steve Rogers as a character at the very least... I loved the focus he gave Sharon, though! I find it sad that it happened at the detriment of Steve's growth as a character here in this plot (which is never-ending now...), and that kinda sucks. the art in issue #24 was sooooooooooooooooo beautiful though! Daniel Acuña is a god, I swear.
