Speaking of character development, I wonder where Christopher Priest is going to go with the increasingly disillusioned John Walker we were left with at the end of his last appearance in Captain America.

The spider is always on the hunt.
I wonder if Priest would even bring back Anti-Cap as a foil. I don't think the two of them have ever met. They could have some provocative conversations. Though the timeline for Anti-Cap's motivations might have to be moved up. Initially he was recruited shortly after the Oklahoma City bombing..

Interested in reading Daredevil? Not sure what to read next? Why not check out the Daredevil Book Club for some ideas?
There was a Marvel Comics Presents arc that took place after Omega Flight, his time as warden of the Raft into Dark Avengers, most recently in 2020 Force Works and his appearance in Hawkeye: Freefall.
Yes he is portrayed as a hard ass...but also shown that he cares about his people. But like I said...writers will come along and just default him to the heel.
That is hey I feel editors need to keep a bit of a hands on approach so that character's development is not pushed aside for the sake of the story the writer wants to tell.
Agree with you there. But hopefully that’s resolved here pretty quick. Erik Larsen said something interesting on Twitter awhile back, he indicated that Gruenwald invented Scourge to get rid of superfluous villains at the time. That Gruenwald felt there were too many redundancies. So in that Scourge was useful. I can’t think narratively what the use is of making Walker take up that mantle, now, unless it’s to go back to explore Gruenwald’s original reason for inventing Walker to begin with, Gruenwald stated in interviews that he created Walker to show the dark side of patriotism, so perhaps Coates is trying to do the same with him. And it’s pretty obvious that Coates has a healthy respect for Gruenwald’s Cap run (which I love). I mean, Walker isn’t the first this happened to, Jack Monroe was also ‘Scourge’ at one point, too (though not of his own will). I have a feeling, though, that it probably has more to do with the fact they’re using the Captain America No More arc for Falcon and the Winter Soldier so placing Walker back at square one in the comics is a segue.
Speaking of, wonder if they’ll ever bring Jack back. Would make a great Bucky centric story to do so.
That would definitely make for an interesting story.

I've always liked John Walker as both USAgent and Captain America. I especially liked the idea when both he and Steve were Cap where Walker was Cap on Invaders and Steve was Cap anywhere else.
In hindsight it laid the ground work for SamCap and SteveCap to be in action at the same time.
Knowing it's a 5ish mini means I'll wait for the trade but looking forward to it all the same.

Just posted this on Twitter, thought everyone here would like it. It’s from the letter section of Captain America #246, written by the wonderful Roger Stern, on where Steve falls in the political spectrum (re: New Deal Democrat)...
This was also just posted on Twitter (by someone else, not be me) and it’s so precious I had to post it here...
If I had to retro-explain this, I guess that Reed Richards, Stark and T'Challa came up with a way of giving heroes miniature devices that allowed them to temporarily reach into a pocket dimension where a whole bunch of hostess desserts were in permanent storage. (or perhaps the tech was a gift from eccentric but friendly aliens). If you think about how spaceknight Rom (and others) had the power to access his ray gun from "hyperspace", it's a similar gimmick.
