Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty #2

History

The parent US series was conceived by the longtime co-writing partnership of Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly, who had previously collaborated on titles for both Marvel and DC; Carmen Carnero, a Spanish artist designated a Marvel 'Stormbreaker,' joined after having already worked with Kelly and Lanzing and described the pitch as impossible to turn down. The Outer Circle concept grew organically from the geometry of Cap's shield itself — the writers mapped the concentric rings of the shield onto entrenched real-world power systems (Power, Money, the Machine, Love, and Revolution), then personified each as a long-lived conspirator. Panini France collected the second arc (US issues #7–11 plus the Captain America and the Winter Soldier Special #1) into this 152-page hardcover volume, released on 15 November 2023 as part of their '100% Marvel' imprint, making the material available in French for the first time.

• Written by Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly; interior art primarily by Carmen Carnero with additional art by Kev Walker; colors by Nolan Woodard and K.J. Diaz.
• The volume continues the Outer Circle storyline: a five-member secret cabal — Power, Money, the Machine, Love, and the Revolution — whose first Marvel Universe appearance occurred in the underlying US series' second issue (July 2022).
• Central plot development: Bucky Barnes has joined the Outer Circle under the identity of 'the New Revolution,' creating a direct ideological and personal rift with Steve Rogers that drives the arc's emotional core.
• Sharon Carter makes her sustained return to the series in this arc, assembling alongside Cap and allies including Nick Fury, the Destroyer, and Peggy Carter, before the team is psychically scattered — prompting Steve to recruit Emma Frost.
• The arc runs parallel to Tochi Onyebuchi's Captain America: Symbol of Truth, and the Sceneario review notes that readers should read Symbol of Truth Vol. 2 first to fully understand this volume's final page.
• The first Panini France volume in this series (collecting US issues #1–6) was released 29 March 2023, meaning both French collections appeared in the same calendar year as the US conclusion of the run.
