I truly thought the dumbest thing I'd ever see How much longer until Nick Spencer moves on from this book? I completely get wanting the book to be topical, but I'm bombarded daily with talking heads from both sides of the aisle in the news and don't need my comics filled with them. The one thing I did like in the book was U.S. I find that I'm forcing myself to read this garbage just so I'm up to date with the characters and not really enjoying the book at all.

Even though they do sound like my dad, so there's that lol. However, the evil side come across as far too evil at times. I understood it, and trust me, I agree far more with Sam's point of views.

Never even heard of him, or can't remember him, but he also disagrees with Sam's views and tries to take back the shield. Then you have some two bit Cap named John Walker. If you haven't guessed, they are super strict and pretty much harasses anyone, not just criminals. On top of that he has to deal with a new police force, Americanpolice or whatever there name is.

Bombarded with it yet trying to sort through it. Funny enough most people probably feel like Sam these days. But when the Americops come, what's he gonna do?Ĭollecting: Captain America: Sam Wilson 9-13. As the battle lines form, Sam must choose a side. But will anyone listen to him?
