During every full moon, I form a summoning circle out of crêpes and wish for a writer to finally make Batroc one of Steve's partners.

I don't blind date I make the direct market vibrate
That might be because, according to Chip Zdarsky, Steve's one true love is actually Namor...

Man, if you threw in Sam there we'd have all of Steve's best Superhero buddies in one preview page .
I'd throw Thor in there, too. But yes, pretty much! Though does grave!Bucky count?
And on that note... my entire Cap collection for a Sam Wilson appearance in the current Cap book. I mean, seriously, there was no reason to shelf him like that and it makes no sense plot-wise either, considering how close he and Steve are, and how their relationship was depicted/last shown in that Captain America Generations issue following Secret Empire (let alone decades of Cap comics) for him not to be there.
The only reason I could think of would be that Marvel got leery of the backlash Sam received for becoming the new Captain America and decided to take him off the board for a few years until said backlash died down, especially after his post-Captain America solo didn't do so well. That said, it is a real shame that we don't see Sam showing up to help his best buddy Steve in this trying time.
