Politics. Everyone hates them. Everyone argues about them. No one seems to agree. You're a Nazi. You're a Libtard. Whatever you want to call it. Funny enough most people probably feel like Sam these days. Bombarded with it yet trying to sort through it.

This is the first volume I really think takes the name Captain America for Sam's run and gives it meaning and thought behind it. Sam isn't having a very good time as the "new" Captain America. James Rhodes has died. So Sam meets up with the few black superheroes around. It's almost scary how few there really are (and these are the "popular" ones compared to the shit ton of heroes who show up at the actual funeral.

However, this connects to Civil War 2 storyline to show where Sam usually is. Stuck in the middle. On top of that he has to deal with a new police force, Americanpolice or whatever there name is. If you haven't guessed, they are super strict and pretty much harasses anyone, not just criminals. Then you have some two bit Cap named John Walker. 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.

Good: Love, love, love the whole background story of what's really happening. Who's really pulling the strings. I also thought the fights were really well done this time and extremely entertaining. My favorite moment is when the officer grabs Sam and you can see him trying his best not to smack the shit out of them. I also like how Sam is really in the middle of it all. He doesn't agree with the violent moments Rage and the community is going for, but he won't stand for the cops beating down people in his neighborhood because they're selling bootlegs.

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

Overall I really enjoyed this issue. Unlike most people I think Captain America comics should ALWAYS be political. I love it. If I agree or disagree with the politics it's trying to say that's something different. However, the idea behind Cap, is it's always political. It's why I LOVE Ed's run so much. It's a political thriller. Overall this is Sam's best outing as the Captain America we've got so far. I hope the series finishes decent. A 3.5 out of 5.
