‘Captain America: Sam Wilson’ #7 honors all the shield wielding heroes
Sam Wilson Captain America #7 doesn’t do much with its title character, but there is a great moment where Steve admits that he respects and trusts Sam despite having differences over what he should do as Captain America as Crossbones beats him up.
