Marvel is stuck in a difficult position where Sam Wilson is concerned. The character is coming off a multi-year stint as Captain America and now reverting to his traditional role as The Falcon. It's important that Sam's new ongoing series immediately establish a strong status quo for the character, one that shows a hero changed by his experiences as Cap and not merely settling into his old job again. This first issue does build on the events of Secret Empire in a logical way, but it fails to carry over the momentum from Sam Wilson: Captain America.
In some ways, this new series isn't even that different from Sam's previous book. New writer Rodney Barnes continues to emphasize racial strife and political turmoil over costumed villains. The series also looks to focus a great deal of attention on Sam's efforts to coach his new sidekick Rayshaun, in the ways of patriotic superheroing. At the same time, Barnes also focuses on Sam's lingering disillusionment in the wake of Secret Empire. Sam is a man with tremendous faith in the innate goodness of America. If his best friend and the country's greatest hero can turn out to be a duplicitous Hydra agent, what does that say about America itself?
