When we left off, Maria Hill's Pleasant Hill town that held criminals with special powers there under mind control by an alien cube turned into a child, Kobik, had just been overrun by the criminals who had gotten their memories back. Captain America, Bucky Barnes, and Steve Rogers are there to stop it with some late help from the Avengers. Steve touches the Kobik and is healed and becomes his old, or rather, young, self again.
A meeting is held where Maria knows that not only will she keep her job she won't be punished for it because the Avengers don't want any of this to get out. This doesn't sit well with Sam who wants something done to her. When he storms out of the meeting Steve follows and suggests that they find a way to replace her using the Board. He also agrees with sharing the duties of Captain America with Sam now that he is back in fighting form.
Now, there are two storylines going on here, and they do have a reason for being there though they may not seem like it. The first is that the Immortals have a person who can see into the future and everyone is wondering what to do about this. Do you follow up on their tips? Captain Marvel and Iron Man are still fighting, but oddly, both are trying desperate to get Captain America to agree with them on their position on the seer, in which they are in agreement.
The other storyline involves Americops, a revamped invention by Paul Keane who is a close friend of Senator Tom Harold who is the strongest speaker calling for Sam Wilson to give back the shield. He's never liked him because he helped someone who was helping immigrants, and his politics do not align with his at all. The Americops are robots that act as cops that enforce the law on the streets. The problem is that they are mostly doing it in poor areas where people of color live. People are ending up in the hospital due to their forceful arrests for small stuff like playing music too loud or "loitering", which the rest of us call hanging out in your neighborhood. This brings out a person with abilities who is looking to help out the people of the neighborhood of South Philly, which gets Captain America involved.
John Walker, U.S. Agent, also makes a surprise appearance in this comic. This comic hits hard on what it's like to be an African American super hero. The good and the bad, but mostly the bad. Sam Wilson's battle has just begun if he wants to stay Captain America and it will be an uphill battle. He'll have help from Falcon, Misty (my hero), and Dennis. I'm pulling for him every step of the way. This book shows that he's the real Captain America.
