The new Captain American is just as dull as the old Captain America. I understand and appreciate his leadership roll as an Avenger, but as a solo title his preachy do-goodery is not tempered by the less boring characters.
Honestly, I was also disappointed that this was not the politically controversial story arc of Sam Wilson battling right-wing immigration opponents - or so described by media outlets. That caught my attention in the news and I was very interested in how the subject had actually been approached in the comics.

While I enjoyed the new Caps unveiling in the last book this one really felt weak and watered down. They tried by having this jam packed with known Cap villains but to quote this book "he's not my Captain America ". Falcon's power is interacting with birds like some weird beast master of birds with mechanical wings. Sorry Marvel I really wanted to like this but....meh.

I like Sam Wilson as Cap, he has a great and freshly scrubbed-of-weird-continuity and multi-layered background and origin story in this, and his little band of affiliates provide a nice support system. This is happening at a weird time in the Marvel U, though - with Secret Wars cleaning the whiteboard for a re-boot and various other re-sets in the making, one wonders how permanent this change will be, and how attached we should be to the changes. Regardless, this "All-New" Cap is a bastion of the ideals and M.O. of the legacy, and rises above this frenetic story at crucial moments. Story evaluation: too many villains and too much history required, though having Sam plow through Steve's Rogues IS kind of cool. Bad guy plot is needlessly intricate, and the "infinite elevator" is a little silly.

I'm not going to sit here and clam that this is the best Marvel comic I've ever read, but it is the best Marvel comic not starting Kamila Khan that I've ever read. Sam Wilson kicks ass as Captain America.
