It was also refreshing to see a callback to the story that took place in All-New Captain America with Armadillo. And, as always, Misty Knight is great. Even though we have every reason to believe that Cap and Thor get involved in a few issues, I'm still all for Misty and Cap riding off into the sunset with their fists raised in the air.

Captain America: Sam Wilson #2 may be drawing ire on cable news, but it continues its streak of being a superhero comic with important things on its mind. Read Full Review

The scope of this book is far more down to Earth than Acuna's recent Marvel work. And while that approach doesn't necessarily suit his style as well, Acuna is able to deftly move between big action scenes and quiet character moments without missing a beat. Read Full Review

As a African-American hero, Sam deals with the history of protests and hardships everyday people of color are subjugated to but, given his newly filled role he sees things the same just at a elevated peak. While Steve can more or less sit back with his "blind faith" and put his all in how he thinks the nation will handle things, Sam has a more nuanced view of American politics. It's a great ending with a more cheerful and hopeful final page from Acua. Sam Wilson is quickly expanding his own corner of the Marvel universe that Spencer and Acua are carving out. Sam Wilson: Captain America is the Marvel title that deserves to be read, it's telling the story that people need right now. It's political driven, modern, and has art that will make you want to hang each page as a series of paintings. Read Full Review

. Spencer is building a strong, compelling comic book here, with a great cast and a lead character who is only beginning to make his mark. This should prove to be a really good direction for Captain America. Read Full Review

Spencer has carved a niche for himself in the Marvel Universe by writing about lesser luminaries like the Sinister Six, Secret Avengers and Scott Lang and elevating them to fan favorites. In this case, he's tasked with taking a fan favorite and spinning it around, giving it a kick or two to see what more can be done. "Captain America: Sam Wilson" #2 works just a little too hard trying to find itself and sets up future storylines where the "Captain America" aspect doesn't catch enough light to shine. That said, I'm convinced this book would be an amazing Falcon series. Spencer has earned some leeway in getting to the flow of his stories. With Acua and Caramagna alongside, this series has plenty of potential. These guys just have to fulfill it. Read Full Review

And ultimately, I don't like writing reviews like this, because these are talented creators who clearly have a lot to say. I think there is a ton of potential behind Sam Wilson: Captain America, because Nick Spencer gets that a country this divided can't not have some reflection on one of its greatest symbols. Steve Rogers might have grown up a Democrat in the 1940s, but Sam Wilson grew up with all the political tension of today - he's a guy who would absolutely have very different beliefs than his predecessor, and seeing Sam wrestle with expressing those beliefs gives this book a brand-new lease on life. But that excellent premise won't go far until Spencer and company really focus on exactly what story they want to tell. Read Full Review

I haven't enjoyed Cap this much since Brubaker's run.

Gears shift in this installment a little to the divide between Steve and Sam's views. Steve and Sam find out the Sons of the Serpent are more trouble than originally thought and part of Sam's recent past comes back to bite him. The art continues to be strong and the story continues to establish the type of Captain America Sam Wilson wants to be. If you found the first issue interesting this will keep you going.

Captain America is different. Now in this issue he defends himself and does a good job of it. I really like the way that Spencer makes Sam Wilson an unapologetic opinionated person. Acuna's art is beautiful as always and I love where this story is heading too. I really do love the added twist of Misty Knight she has a unique energy that breaks up the tension. Continue the awesome work!

This new issue really does a great job of giving the new Captain America (Sam Wilson) a different identity from Steve Rogers. Steve Rogers has been brought back to his natural age when he lost his serum but he still played a big role in this issue. There is some cool conflict between Wilson and Rogers, the pair who were once inseparable friends. Wilson doesn't know whether to trust S.H.I.E.L.D or not and this issue is a strong improvement over the first issue.
