This issue showcases the Sam Wilson series finally hitting rock-bottom. Previously, Sam fought against institutionalised racism in america, which though poorly handled by Spencer, made the comic worth reading. This issue shifts the focus from real bigotry to fantasy bigotry, where the antagonists harass people because they're inhumans - a contrast with the series previous focus on racial discrimination. This completely ignores all that Sam Wilson has faced prior to this, and Spencer uses visual tricks to mask the change by casting muslim, black, hispanic characters as inhuman voices. The message is there, but Spencer is too much of a pussy to commit to actual commentary.
