Sam Wilson: Captain America #21

[laughing_tree]

"Earlier in my reviews of this run, I commented that Spencer’s version of Sam Wilson reminded me a lot of President Barack Obama. Now that we’ve had more time with him, I see that he’s much more than that. He’s every black person that’s ever had to think about where they fall in the battle of injustice. He’s every one that’s been given power and had it stripped away. Which, eventually, boils down to practically every minority in America. [...] This current run of Captain America: Sam Wilson is going to end up on the syllabus of a really liberal, young-minded sociology professor one day." -- Black Nerd Problems

Didn't the AXIS event happen right after Sam took up the mantle? That probably wasn't good for the character's brand.

Yeah it did. Soooooooooooo poorly timed. Marvel really doesn't think a lot at times it feels like.
