A review by iffer
Captain America by Ta-Nehisi Coates, Vol. 5 by Ta-Nehisi Coates

3.0

This wrapped up the story arc, and it was solid, if not satisfying. That said, it's not satisfying because life isn't satisfying, because Ta-Nehisi Coate's Cap run is basically a Cliff Notes version of the shit show that is (US)America in terms of white surpremecist radicalization, desperation in the face of economic and a demographic changes, and the complexity of "fighting" "enemies" when the "enemies" are merely harnessing collective discontent and the corruption of the wealthy and powerful. I admire Coates' (through his representation of Cap) tenacity to hope, to believe in the Dream and see it as something to work towards despite the flawed reality and history of the US, and by extension, humanity.
