Synopsis

Sam Wilson, Captain America (2025 series) #2 synopsis by Peter Silvestro
Rating: 4 stars

On Eaglestar’s floating paradise, Skydream, Captain America (Sam Wilson) has been wrongly identified as an LMD impostor and now Red Hulk, actually Security Chief Robert Maverick, is about to smash him to bits. Sam’s niece Billie spots that Eaglestar’s CEO, Dennis Harmon, is controlling Red Hulk. Sam tries removing the implant from Rulk’s arm but Harmon gasses him before he can succeed….

Sam Cap wakes up in a cell and sees Joaquin Torres, the Falcon, in a neighboring cell. Harom makes a speech about how his sky farms will be to the benefit of minorities. Joaquin reveals that they have been experimenting on him, trying to reproduce the ability to fly. Harmon shocks they again and departs. Joaquin also points out that they are creating more mind control devices like the one on Red Hulk. Then suddenly, a new hero fights his way into th building, calling himself Shadow Soldier, whom Sam recognizes as Josiah X, son of Isaiah Bradley. SS frees Sam and Joaquin, while mocking Sam for not seeing Harmon’s program as a scam from the first. They setout to rescue Billie and the farmers. As a distraction, SS releases the caged griffins to attack the guards while they hitch a ride on a transport attached to a flying whale. Josiah explains that while he was once part of The Crew, he grew tired of compromises and became a hero to help his people who were hiding in the shadows. They arrive at the farm where Billie is working and try to get her to come along but she refuses. She and the others have been mind-controlled into wanting to stay there. Then the three heroes are gassed and the last we see of them is that they are happily working the land beside the farmers….

Review / Commentaries


Sam Wilson, Captain America (2025 series) #2 Review by (February 12, 2025)

Review: Yes, it opens with Sam Cap fighting Red Hulk, a sight to behold but that’s not the big news. We now have another Super-Soldier hero and this one is a bit different, fighting not for his country but for his people. It makes for a different perspective, thanks to Black Panther scribe Evan Narcisse. Solid plotting and artwork mark this tale as a winner so far.

Comments: Josiah X was introduced in THE CREW #1-7 as Justice; he is the son of Isaiah and Faith Bradley, engineered as part of the Super-Soldier Program. He was seen in a flashback in YOUNG AVENGERS #8; this is his next full appearance and first as Shadow Soldier. Greg Pak and Evan Narcisse are the credited writers.
