This was totally wicked. Sam talks about his family as he tries to help the world keep theirs. There are twists and turns, and one big twist at the end. We see lots of villains including Batroc the Leaper, Viper, Armadillo and a Baron Zemo. This books deals with fathers and families, as well as non stop action.
Seriously, there is so much action in this book. Every panel has a kick, a punch, or a shield flying through the air. Sam takes a beating in this, but every fight is different and we see Sam use his Falcon and Cap powers in new and interesting ways.
This was so good.

At first I liked the set well enough. But the more I think about it, the less I like it. Several characters "died" and came back in the span of 6 issues. Really!?!? Its a shame because it actually started out strong. We get more of Sam's back story, but it is forced and doesnt read well. I am hoping for better. I am really hoping for a new writer who actually likes Cap. I really want a return of Steve Rogers and to have Remender's run erased from history.

I really liked the first issue so sprung for the trade. Sam isn't nearly as fun in the later issues... Granted that's because there's a lot of death and sadness. And an annoying number of people who come back from the dead in just 6 issues.
I am interested in continuing mainly to see what's up with Misty Knight. Sam is great and all, but it seems Captain comics aren't for me

First things first, I'm more into DC comics but I supposed that reading Marvel would be nice, so this is my first time with Cap. I expected way more from this but well, it is what it is.
What is it about? Steve Rodgers retired being Cap because of his age, so Sam Wilson a.k.a Falcon will take his place, with Steve's son (Ian) they will try to stop Hydra from Zemo and some other villains

Sam Wilson apparently hates India and loves repeatedly threatening to injure people so bad they'll be "eating through a straw"

Art was a little hard to follow but I really liked seeing Sam as Captain America, and was happy to see Misty show up. And can't say no to some good punching of Nazis.

I am all about some Sam-Wilson-as-Cap adventures, but there are a couple too many bait-and-switch moments for me to call this excellent.
Really happy to see, though.

Sam Wilson takes over as Captain America whilst Cap is out of commison (because he is no longer a super soldier, I think, though the book didn't seem to mention why). So Falcon takes up the mantle. The book was fun and entertaining, especially when Sam fails to handle the shield with as much ease as Steve Rogers.

I really enjoyed my introduction to Sam Wilson, aka Falcon, in the Cap Am movie last summer, so when I heard Sam was going to be the new Captain America, I wanted to check it out for sure.
It's kind of a weird adjustment. Yeah, Sam is Cap now, but he's still Sam. He's not a super soldier, he still have his winds, but he has Cap's shield now. Is that the only difference? And a new outfit? I love that Sam kept his humor, and it's awesome to hear more about his backstory, and how much he values all life. It'll be interesting to see him grow into the name of cap am and make it his own.
As a previous non-reader of the cap comics, I was very grateful for the one page history lesson at the start of this issue, otherwise I would have had no clue why Steve gave up being Cap and who this rando Nomad guy was. Knowing he's Steve's adopted son definitely gives me some insight into his character, but I still couldn't really tell if his "I'm better than you" comments were just friendly ribbing or actually arrogance and discontent. I guess we'll have to wait in see.
The best part of this comic was Sam's sidekick and shield-rescuing-brother, Redwing. Can Sam talk to birds? Is that a thing?
This is another that I'll add to me list to pick up when the trade comes out, though I don't know how high of a priority it will be with all the other books out there. The art was ok, but nothing particularly special. The frustrating part of books like this is that it feels like you need to know the whole history of marvel to figure it out, or else you'll be missing something. Like that last page, filled with all those villains; I'm sure a marvel fanatic would recognize all those guys. I didn't even know one. And I just don't have the time to read through the whole Marvel catalogue.
The main reason I bought this single issue was for the adorable Skottie Young variant cover. Which remains adorable, regardless of my feels about the content of the book. :)
