Steve’s “Hail Hydra” moment is also relegated to a text page, which severely ruins the effect of that heel turn during the story. We instead have to settle with pages of exposition as text that summarize the important plot beats, which leads to a serious anticlimax. The first two issues in the collection are Standoff tie-ins, but we aren’t able to actually read the Alpha or Omega issues of Standoff. This leads to a lot of weird pacing and exposition requirements. Sam’s run as Captain America as written by Spencer is entirely juxtaposed with the evil Steve Rogers’ rise to power, and to cut out that portion of the story does Sam’s story no benefit. Where this fails, though, is that Spencer’s Captain America: Sam Wilson run intersected heavily with his controversial Captain America: Steve Rogers run, as well as Secret Empire. This collection is entirely written by Nick Spencer, and collects #7-24 of the Captain America: Sam Wilson run, the Captain America #25 issue that released during Secret Empire, and the Generations: Captain America issue that capped off Spencer’s run.
