SAM WILSON CAPTAIN AMERICA COMIC MOVIE
SAM WILSON CAPTAIN AMERICA COMIC SERIES

Sure, it took a little bit of a globe-trotting journey to get back here, but once again Sam is in possession of the shield and finally assuming the title given to him at the end of Marvel Studios' Avengers: Endgame. Marvel Studios’ The Falcon and the Winter Soldierends the same way it began: with Sam Wilson holding the Captain America shield.

Each week through the run of the series we’ll be bringing you brand new apparel, accessories, toys and more based on and inspired by the show, and don’t forget to share what you must have on social with #MarvelMustHaves! Don't know about that other guy, though.Welcome to Marvel Must Haves, your best destination for all new exciting and epic products out of the Marvel Cinematic Universe! We’re taking flight with Marvel Studios’ The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and all the explosive action from this globetrotting adventure. Our white hero literally named 'Captain America' isn't political, we swear, Marvel seems to be implying. Or whether they want to see a black hero represent their country in superhero comics. Instead of both Captain Americas standing for say, the same thing, readers can now pick and choose whether or not they want Captain America to deal with something resembling real issues. More disconcerting is the tonal split between the two: Classic Cap will deal with good old-fashioned bad-guy fightin', while Newer Cap will continue to deal with more topical issues. Which sounds an awful, uncomfortable lot like Hey, if you don't like your Captain America black, we've got a white one again too! Everyone can get behind a white guy, right? It comes across as a shallow attempt to avoid being 'political,' which is an ironic thing to try when dealing with a hero who wears the American flag for a uniform. The country is as divided as it’s ever been, and Steve is one of a kind he’s a unifying figure, someone we can all look up to, someone we can all put our faith in.' 'If you’re liking what we’re doing in Captain America: Sam Wilson, with a more topical, of-the-moment take, we’ve got a lot more of that coming your way but if you’re looking for that classic, timeless version, the one that’s steeped in the Greatest Generation with Cap fighting the face of true evil, now we’ve got that for you as well. What's curious, though, is how Spencer describes the sorts of stories he'll be telling with Steve Rogers, the original Cap, and how he talks about him. Some stories are more successful than others, but it's very of the moment. Both will be written by Nick Spencer, the guy who's been writing Sam Wilson as Cap for a few months now, telling fun stories that double as gentle satires ribbing extremely cartoonish conservatives and the like. More interesting is the fact the tonal difference between the comics. When you are telling one long ongoing story for decades, crazy stuff is bound to happen now and again. Superhero comics are, essentially, soap operas, but with lasers and shit-and like soap operas, shocking deaths, disappearances, and resurrections are all par for the course.

First, though, a few things you should know: One, this sort of thing happens in comic books all the time. There are some interesting implications to this, not all of them good. What's that? Two Captain Americas? (Captains America?)

However, this spring, Sam Wilson will no longer be the sole Captain America of the Marvel comic book universe, because Steve Rogers will be making a glorious return as Captain America. Which means, for the last year, Marvel's comic books have had something kind of special: a black Captain America.

Been that way for almost 75 years, too! Except, for the last year, he hasn't been, because for the last year, the original Captain America-his actual name is Steve Rogers-has turned into an old man (comic books, don't ask) and handed the job over to long-time partner Sam Wilson (formerly the Falcon, currently also a movie character played by Anthony Mackie in the Marvel movies).

You know Captain America, right? Wears the American flag as a uniform, carries an indestructible shield, is played by Chris Evans in a bunch of movies? In the comic books, he kinda looks like Chris Evans too: Square-jawed, blue-eyed, red-blooded American White Guy.
