There is a hunk of comic book fandom that like their Captain America blond haired, blue eyed and preferably named Steve Rogers. So, for a variety of reasons that range from totally justifiable to wacadoo racist, Sam Wilson is "not their" Captain America. Nick Spencer knows this and probably has the hate follows on Twitter to prove it. This collection tackles these criticisms head on and is much more successful than not in the attempt. These heroes protect their critics and their rights to criticize and often suffer for the attempt in classic, ACLU style ways. It's as smart as it needs to be and feels more ripped from the headlines than almost any super hero comic I have read recently. The Misty Knight stand alone issue is particularly strong and the super hero version of "deepfakes" makes for a very compelling story.
The inclusion of Captain America 344 in this collection seemed like little more than an effort to add page count and doesn't add much.

I've been following this series and enjoyed each one. This volume I feel is the weakest, but at the same time took the approach of shinning a spotlight on some of the important people in Sam's life, especially Misty. Overall, not my favorite or as powerful but still well done.
