The love letter to pro wrestling is particularly well-done. ( )

When we last left Captain America, Sam Wilson, he was sharing the duties of Captain America with Steve Rogers. There was a strong movement going to get him to stop being Captain America especially after he tussled with the Americops when he was trying to stop Rage from causing a bigger problem. Of course, his peacemaking attempts didn't play that way in the press because the Americops tried to arrest him and he had to fight his way and escape. He decided to have Tony Stark implant a device in his brain that would enable him to see and record everything the birds see. So when the Americops overstep their bounds again, there will be proof.

He also goes up against John Walker, U.S. Agent, who was sent to get him to return the shield by none other than Captain America himself. But he promised he wouldn't tell Sam that, only that he needed to return it because it was time. Captain America knows he cannot ask Sam right out to give back the shield and he can't do so publically because it would look bad if a white guy is demanding that a black guy stop being a superhero.

Flag Smasher has taken a roomful of people hostage including Senator Tom Herald whom he has strapped a bomb too. He has planted seven bombs in the room and seven cyber bombs in the federal network. Rick Jones, hacker extraordinaire who now works with S.H.I.E.L.D. has been keeping an eye on the goings-on of the security of the major players of the Feds and he just noticed that someone was trying to breach them. For each data bomb that Rick succeeds in diffusing, Flag Buster blows up a bomb in the room. When the last one doesn't work, he threatens to kill Herald. Sam throws his shield to knock the gun out of his hand and misses. Flag Buster kills the Senator. Sam can't believe that he missed causing the death of a man who has so been against him. This really does not play well in the press.

While Sam is trying to get his head back in the game, you get a story from Misty that kicks ass, of course, and one from the Falcon. Also included is an old-time Captain America comic that includes Dennis during his heyday as Demolition Dumphy and his meeting up with Battlestar for the first time in a not so friendly way. This comic moves the plot forward, but it also gives Sam a break and gives Misty and Falcon a time to shine, which is really cool. It further shows how far Steve Rogers will go to get to be Captain America again which is chilling and makes you realize the right man is using the shield. I really love this series and this book just shows how far they're willing to take it. I can't recommend it enough. ( )
