Buckle up, because the Red Hulk is crashing into the scene, setting the stage for an epic face-off in both comics and the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). This tantalizing crossover comes to life in the comic series Sam Wilson: Captain America.
A Sneak Peek at the Showdown
Exclusively via ComicBook.com, we get a first look at the dramatic cover of Sam Wilson: Captain America #2. With artwork by Taurin Clarke, the fiercely kinetic cover captures Red Hulk and Sam Wilson engaged in combat high above the earth. Red Hulk swings a powerful left-handed punch which Sam blocks with his iconic shield. This central clash seemingly unfolds near elevated platforms where Red Hulk, now head of security, is deeply involved.
In this storyline, Sam Wilson delves into a dubious tech venture, hinting at mystery and intrigue. It’s a narrative finely spun by co-writers Evan Narcisse and Greg Pak, with Eder Messias illustrating their vision. Together, they construct a pulse-pounding, exhilarating adventure that mirrors the tension seen in Captain America: Brave New World.
Characters and Conflict Unfurled
Expanding the saga, Sam Wilson: Captain America #2 takes readers deeper. After Eaglestar reveals its sinister motives, Sam confronts their furious security chief, Red Hulk. However, the plot thickens with the arrival of Josiah X, whose intentions are more obscure. Josiah X’s mission adds another layer of suspense, raising questions about his true motives.
“The narrative is full of layers and complexity,” artist Greg Pak explains. “Evan and I have shared countless creative sessions, bouncing big ideas, and shaping this explosive storyline.” This collaboration promises a tale that reflects real-world themes, woven into superhero fabric.

Character exploration deepens with Sam Wilson portrayed as a symbol of resilience, balancing the demand of everyday life and superhero responsibilities. “Sam embodies the spirit and hope of the Captain America mantle in new and refreshing ways,” co-writer Evan Narcisse reveals.
This comic is not just about battles and villains but reflects significant thematic elements. It delves into what it means for a Black social worker from Harlem to carry the legacy of Captain America while battling his own internal and external conflicts.
Grounded Action and Soaring Adventures
With the series promising unparalleled action and storytelling, Narcisse praises how tangible the world feels. Grounded by relatable characters like Sam’s fast-talking cousin Billie, the series remains tightly knit with human-centric stories while delivering blockbuster action sequences.
