SAM WILSON SOARS AGAIN!
When Captain America attends a birthday party for Isaiah Bradley, he catches wind of a new tech venture that sounds too good to be true: magnificent floating platforms in the sky, where the disenfranchised can apply for land grants and establish their own farms. But after Sam discovers the organization's dark underbelly, he'll have to tangle with its head of security: Red Hulk! Greg Pak (INCREDIBLE HULK, WEAPON H), Evan Narcisse (RISE OF THE BLACK PANTHER) and Eder Messias (PHASES OF THE MOON NIGHT) join forces for a high-flying Cap adventure!
Rated T+
Sam Wilson, Captain America #1, bursts onto the scene with soaring action and excitement. Sam Wilson deserves the shield and the entire team takes the opportunity to showcase why. It's been a while since I have been excited for a Captain America run and this has me very much intrigued. Make sure to pick it up! Read Full Review
This opening chapter doesnt contain scathing anger; it is a celebration. Its more about remembering than trying to get vengeance for anything. Its warm and welcoming, with exciting action sequences, too. Captain America remembers the community that came before the costumes. Read Full Review
This issue kicks off the miniseries in grand style, with dynamic action, some deeply touching moments and a great new nemesis for Sam. Read Full Review
Overall, Sam Wilson Captain America #1 shows promise. The creative team has assembled an interesting concept with potential for meaningful storytelling. However, the pacing feels off, and the plot developments feel rushed. The inclusion of Red Hulk is a fun hook, but it remains to be seen if hell be more than just a big, red punching bag. While the art is strong, the story needs to slow down and breathe in future issues to truly take flight. This issue is worth checking out for the premise and the art, but it needs to find its footing to truly soar. If the creative team can iron out the pacing issues and delve deeper into the themes theyve introduced, this could become a truly great Captain America run. Read Full Review
Sam Wilson: Captain America #1 is an interesting concept and there's something there but this first issue is a rough one. There's too much to groan about to overlook the flaws and appreciate what it's trying to do. Too much bad distracts from the underlying good. Read Full Review
This first issue attempts to tackle a lot. While filled with social commentary, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, it leaves little room for developing the core mystery of the Eaglestar company. A better balance between story and commentary is needed. The art is good but not spectacular. I'm curious to see where the rest of the series takes us. I believe Nick Spencer handled the Sam Wilson version of Captain America the best, and I haven't seen the character written as well since. I see some potential here, but only subsequent issues will tell.
This was a waste of time. Bad writing, even worse art.
This is beyond eye-rolling. Greg Pak was involved in this??? The pandering is cringe worthy. This is "By Odin's fade" levels of bad. Ross just takes the classic misunderstanding between heros trope to new levels because the writers needed it 2 happen. Bad writing. Bad comic.
