Synopsis

Sam Wilson, Captain America (2025 series) #3 synopsis by Peter Silvestro
Rating: 4 stars

Many years ago, Sam and Billie Wilson were kids, helping Gramps on his farm. And today, Sam, now Captain America, and Billie are working on Eaglestar’s floating city, Skydream, happily farming with Falcon (Joaquin Torres) and Shadow Soldier (Josiah X). But Redwing sends a message to Sam who begins to see through the brainwashing, reliving his parents’ deaths and his manipulation by the Red Skull….

Security chief Robert Maverick a/k/a Red Hulk approaches his boss Dennis Harmon, confused. He was told Captain America was an LMD yet now he’s working in the fields. Harmon has Maverick gassed again and he’s following orders once more….

In the fields, Cap tries to tell Billie what’s really going on but she resists and Sam is gassed again, making him docile once more. But Billie discovers the Mister, a buried box that squirts the mind control drug. She and Sam both snap out of it and, after apologies to one another are made, they approach Falcon and Shadow Soldier who have also just recovered from the brainwashing. They keep working, planning to get together later…

…at dinner where they put together what they know. Eaglestar is luring poor people to the Skydream with the promises of freedom and security then brainwashing them with drugs. They are also using implants on people like Maverick to control them too. But they don’t know the reason. Josiah advises them that when outnumbered, they must fight smarter. He reviews his own history to explain: he was a foundling, raised in foster care where he learned to fight. He joined the military where they used him as a guinea pig for super soldier experiments. He escaped and decided his mission was to stand up for the people in the shadows. He learned about his parents, Isaiah and Faith Bradley, and continued the fight but he realized they would always be underdogs, so they would have to be smarter than the opposition….

They go to the central tower and discover Eaglestar is making super soldiers. As they head for the top of the tower, they are attacked by the War Angels, guards who have been given wings, by means of Falcon’s DNA. They fight their way up and temporarily defeat the Angels. When they reach the top, the place goes into lockdown and the Skydream platforms start moving, each one to a majority Black city, this one to the Bronx. They don’t know what’s going on but Cap is determined to stop it….

Review / Commentaries


Sam Wilson, Captain America (2025 series) #3 Review by (March 19, 2025)

Review: And so we get an idea of what is going on as the heroes snap out of their trances and begin plotting against the bad guys. The issue is a little talky but a nice part of the talk is Josiah X reviewing his origin as a kid and adult raised to fight back against oppression and making himself the champion of the underdog. It’s not quite as cool as a gamma bomb or radioactive spider as origins go but it has a lot more of a purpose to it. So details are being put into place for some big action next time. See you in thirty.

Comments: Shadow Soldier was introduced last issue. Robert Maverick does not change into Red Hulk in this issue. Greg Pak, Evan Narcisse are the credited writers. Valentine De Landro contributed to the art.
