Captain America: Sam Wilson (2015 series) #12 Review by (August 21, 2016)
Comments: A Civil War II tie-in. In jail, Sam was reading Soul on Ice by Eldridge Cleaver (Google it).

Review: This comic wanted to be controversial? Well, they've got it now, plopping the heroes into a non-lethal version of the “Black Lives Matter” debate. Emotions run high, the stakes are grim, and the characters intense. And last time they looked serious about addressing this burning issue. Too bad this month the real-life controversy is only background noise for the real question: should Sam be Captain America? After all, if Sam stays Cap for much longer Marvel would have to roll the title back to #1 again as their policy seems to be these days. So while the comic appears to be addressing real issues, they really can't resolve anything so it all just looks like a build up to ending this title and letting Steve Cap have the main Cap series.
