Captain America by Ta-Nehisi Coates Vol. 3: The Legend of Steve by Ta-Nehisi Coates
2.0
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 appreciate that Coates' put women in quite possibly the most important roles that I've seen in a Cap comic. Brubaker wasn't exactly good at that. However, I don't like that it had to involve so much subterfuge.
Steve also gave up being Captain America for some reason? I wasn't clear on the purpose of it when he just ends up picking the shield (the old one) back up at the end of the volume? It seemed pointless to me.
