The Sam Wilson comic is overshadowed by the Steve Rogers comic where he's fake-Hydra, and we wish it wasn't the case. This story is more interesting in many aspects, and touches on real life issues (albeit in a elaborated fashion.) Read Full Review

Nick Spencer's Steve Rogers comic may be garnering the most headlines, but it's Sam Wilson's story that seems to be ripped straight from them. Read Full Review

Marketing this comic as a Civil War II tie-in is a shameless plug for a cheesy, one-page moment in the comic that does nothing more than mention the conflict going on in Civil War II. The problems I've mentioned aside, this comic does have moments worthy of your attention. The battle between Captain America Sam Wilson and U. S. Agent is well done; and so is the expression of Sam's frustration. The potential for the future of this title is great, considering the statements made by Steve Rogers at the end of the book. I look forward to what is to come and hope for more consistency visually. Read Full Review

Ok great action sequences. You can see why US Agent is a crazy bad ass, and why Sam has the name of Captain America. I like how the writer doesn't choose sides quite yet but finds a solution to ends tensions nicely. I really cant wait for more. And I'm appreciating the artwork of Acuna more and more as the story continues.

For me personally I have been enjoying the Sam Wilson books far more then the Steve Rodgers books. This one seems to focus on Steve being the bad guy again. Even though he told Sam he wants him to continue carrying the shield, it seems he is getting Walker (U.S. Agent) to think otherwise. Hopefully this plays out in a way that makes sense because between the two books and Civil War it is all just not fitting together. There is a good amount of action in the book that was fun. The social parallels are still there. Overall this is a strong book just a little hard to accept.
