Captain America: Sam Wilson: #TAKEBACKTHESHIELD Review


Finished reading Captain America: Sam Wilson: #TAKEBACKTHESHIELD, continuing the Sam Wilson centric Captain America book as writer Nick Spencer spends time focusing on Sam's own supporting cast. The book opens with the group know as Ultimatum taking hostages with Senator Tom Herald being at the centre of the hostage situation which leads to Sam and Steve working together with S.H.I.E.L.D. in hope to keep the situation for getting out of hand. The next story in the book sees Sam and newest Falcon, JoaquĆ­n meeting with Rage at charity wrestling match where they go to cheer on D-Man. The following story see Misty Knight on her own adventure to Miami as The Slug has been using life model decoys disgusted as female villains and heroes for videos of a inappropriate nature that have found themselves online. The penultimate story sees Falcon and Rage teaming up to confront writer Ariella Conner about her views on Falcon only for the two to find themselves having to save her from a group named as the Bombshells in hope to silence her permanently. The final story of the book is a classic Captain America story where Steve Rogers finds himself dealing with an outbreak in Washington DC that is turning people into mutated lizards. Overall this was a great book as it continues the series as Sam's doubts about being Captain America especially with is team up with Steve that happens to have some secret motives behind the situation which makes for an intriguing direction for the series. The spotlight that the gives to its supporting cast is great as writer Nick Spencer is able to give each each character their own chance to shine while developing them as characters and the role they have within the book and the Marvel Universe as a whole. The art throughout the is great as its able to bring each story to life extremely well thanks to the great action set prices and how well the whole art team is able to bring the more character driven moments such as the interactions the characters have with one another with great detail on the emotions at play. 8/10.
