The 80th anniversary of Captain America will also mark the end of one of the character’s most groundbreaking chapters. June’s CAPTAIN AMERICA #30 will be the final issue of Ta-Nehisi Coates’ redefining work on the title. Joined by artist Leonard Kirk, CAPTAIN AMERICA #30 will provide the climactic conclusion to the “All Die Young” story arc and prepare the Star-Spangled Avenger for his next era.
Since taking over the ongoing adventures of Steve Rogers, Coates has provided readers with a thought-provoking examination about what it means to be Captain America and introduced new elements of the Captain America mythos such as the Daughters of Liberty and the villainous Power Elite. The acclaimed author’s run began with Captain America on the run as the most wanted man in America but will end with him restoring his honor in an epic fight to the finish with the Red Skull.
“After a stellar two and a half year run, Ta-Nehisi is bringing his tenure on CAPTAIN AMERICA to a close, with an epic finale to the story that he’s been building all throughout his time on the title,” Executive Editor Tom Brevoort said. “And Leonard Kirk is providing some epic artwork—it’s going to be a climax to remember!”
Check out the cover by industry legend Alex Ross below and don’t miss the finale of Ta-Nahisi Coates’ blockbuster run when CAPTAIN AMERICA #30 hits stands on June 16th.

I wouldn't really call this a "stellar" run. "Meh" is more along the correct lines. Some issues were barely even about Captain America as Coates was more interested in his Daughters of Liberty which felt like an idea fleshedout on the fly instead of mapped/planned out. Parts of the run fell flat but overall it was still ok. I've definitely read way worse.
Alex Ross covers always bring a tear of joy to my eye their just stunning, just works of art.
I can already smell the new #1 Marvel can't resist lol. But I like Cantwells Iron Man so maybe this next run could be better than Coates run from what I heard wasn't really liked by many
I've read the first six or seven issues of Coates' run, and while I enjoyed them, I found it very slow with a lot of world-building. I had the same feeling about his Black Panther run; it works best if you binge read a whole lot of issues (or trades) at once. I'll probably read the whole Captain America run on Marvel Unlimited once it's wrapped up.

That would be a logical conclusion to draw.
Shame, but all good things must come to an end, I wonder if Christopher Cantwell will take over the book if hes writing the 80th anniversary book.
