This started off great but the 2nd half kind of drops the ball.

We get a story of people betraying Cap. There's nothing really new there, that seems to always happens. But when Cap meets a old buddy of his we get a flashback of who Steve is. With that you think these two, once friends, can see eye to eye. However, even the villain you can feel for in some ways. Similar to Killmonger from Black Panther, you get a sense of sadness for this character and his previous experiences.

While it starts off as political as the last volume and just as interesting, it falls into one of my most hated comic tropes. Illusions. Cap has to fight what isn't there to grow into a new person. It's boring and not interesting. I did like how the ending wrapped up though.

Overall, it's worth a read since it's still well written and this is 100% Captain America. But the middle up until the end is blah and over done. A 3 out of 5.
