Captain America: Sam Wilson, Vol. 2: Standoff
by Nick Spencer, Daniel Acuña
Well I can say I enjoyed this more than the last volume...however, I didn't like the last one very much. I thought it was just WAY too silly. This volume decides to mix it up with Standoff. What's that? The big event of the summer! That's what it says. Basically there's a little girl who is the cosmic cube and she is a bit...unhinged. So when villains try to hunt for her, and heroes go after her, shit goes down! DUH!
This volume focuses mostly on Sam and his place as Captain America. On the side we have Steve here and Bucky. If you didn't know when Steve died Bucky took over the mantle. Now Sam is the one to hold it up. Together they must take down the baddies before they kidnap a little girl who can alter reality!
Good: Well watching Sam, Bucky, and Steve together is great. They are different but they have similar ideas and of course have worked together many times. They are friends afterall. I also enjoyed watching Sam come to terms with Steve after their fight. The standoff event wasn't half bad either, the little cube girl was interesting anyway, and got some good laughs with the Avengers.
Bad: The event was overly long though and by the end you feel like it's just another big brawl and the heroes win. There were no real stakes in this one. I also thought the focus was barely on Sam. For the most part this was much more about Steve. Odd choice to have him as the lead really.
Overall it was entertaining good fun. It was the dialog between the three Caps that made this a fun enough issue. However, overall, it wasn't the greatness they COULD do with Sam. Sam deserves to be in something great...GIVE IT TO HIM!
