The Cap Siege thing was pointless, but if you look at it as Cap and Bucky/newCap fighting together, it might fit in the Cap universe.
Who Won't wield the shield was a dissappointment. I love humor books, especially the ones that poke fun of itself (Like the 101 things to do with with the Spiderman clone). Forbush man was satirizing the Bucky/Winter Soldier theme, updated for the new audience, etc, but a goofy take on Deadpool in WW1 was just awful.
Cap and the Panther is just an expanded team-up story of Cap and the Panther of WW2. Just a war-book, Cap, Howlers, Fury and Panther fighting Nazis in Africa (Put some jeeps and sand dunes in it and you have the Rat Patrol).
The main book is fun, the New Cap is fighting the 50s (Former)Commie-smashing Cap who is now a Righteous Watchdog-like fighter trying to force Americans to think his or the Watchdog way. New Cap was forced to shoot 50s Cap to stop him from setting off a bomb, ...and he shot the 50s Bucky while brainwashed by a former Soviet general. Soon he'll be up against Zemo who's daddy blew him up on a plane. And new Cap will be in the Avengers main book where he has to earn the trust of Iron Man and Thor.
Steve Rogers will soon have a mini-series where he's on an adventure to learn about the other Super Soldiers in the Marvel U. Plus he'll be leading a new team of Avengers on secret missions.
Finally, coming soon, a mini series on the Patriot who took over the Cap role from 1947 to 1949 and his reaction when a New Cap popped up in 1953. All about his time as Cap, what happened to Fred Davis/Bucky, why he retired and his part in the Captain America history.
So, 2 period-piece mini series, New Cap adventures, Steve Rogers quest, Secret Avengers with Rogers, and Avengers with New Cap, ...3 ongoing books and 3 mini series, lots to read.
