Did you hate captain america brand new world? Do you want to read something more fun and interesting that actually explores Sam's history and character and has things to say about how Black and brown people have been treated and continue to be treated in the US? Do you want a story where the Black people finally win and save the day? Do you want a story that's not struggle porn?
Then I introduce Captain America: Sam Wilson!
This is a miniseries written by Greg Pak and Evan Narcisse.
It starts out at a birthday party for thee Isaish Bradley where all (well most) of the Black superheroes show up. Along with Billie who is Sam's cousin. Just look at this panel btw its beautiful
But then the actual story of the meat continues. See Billie wants to join in on this operation that this corporation is cooking up where they claim to have a paradise for Black and Brown people in the sky. Skeptical, Sam and Billie go to check it out and turns out its all a lie and the corporation has more sinister plans in store.
Along the way they get to meet and team up with Joaquin, Eli, and Josiah X (who is Isaiah son who's like also his clone. Its comics logic don't worry about it). And its really interesting because Sam has a more hopeful ideology and Josiah (with all hes experienced) has a more cynical one. So you do get to see them butt heads and try to work together to make a compromise.
Something that I do like about this comic is that not only does it delve into Sam's past (specifically his childhood where he spent summers with his cousin Billy helping their grandfather on the farm). This series is also beginner friendly. You don't need to know much before going on. There's even pages that is like a montage explaining Sam and Josiah's background. Also its 5 issues long. You can complete it in a day.
Okay this post needs more pics.
Here's some Sam and Billie moments I liked:
Here's some Josiah and Sam moments I liked:
Yes that is Sam carrying Josiah
And here's Sam using his bird powers. Just because:
So yeah a really interesting comic with a happy and good ending.
Also something you may not know is that whenever a marvel movie comes out they also make a comic for that character/team. But its not like related or tied into the movie itself. Like for example in this comic Red Hulk shows up because he was also in the movie. But Red Hulk here has a more minor role. And this comic has a different plot. I guess that's how marvel contracts work. But yeah please go check out this comic. Like I said really good and funny and has moments of weird comic shit which I've always been a fan of.
And this comic also like takes place in the sky. Like the paradise is in the sky. I just love that setting for someone like Sam.
