Falcon: Take Flight

Rodney Barnes2020
Sam Wilson - winged warrior, avian Avenger and one-time Sentinel of Liberty - takes to the skies once more! Reborn and recommitted, Falcon takes on a personal mission to reconnect with the American people and train his new partner, Patriot. But when a gang war overtakes the streets of Chicago, Falcon finds himself up against an enemy way out of his weight class: the demonic Blackheart! Falcon and Patriot must fight to restore order as a full-scale riot threatens to destroy the city. But with the son of Mephisto fanning the flames, the heroes will be put through hell! And if that isn't horrific enough, Sam's romantic (or rocky) reunion with Misty Knight is wrecked by...vampires? As Chicago's future hangs in the balance, can Sam's indomitable spirit triumph in the face of unspeakable evil?

Great premise, Falcon returning to his roots, passively stopping gang wars and healing racial tensions in urban America... then blam some mystic monsters come in. Honestly, for all the good stuff about who Sam Wilson is without the Captain America or even Falcon title, there was a whole lot of supernatural nonsense which didn't feel like it fit with this character or story. Doctor Voodoo was cool, Sam's sidekick Patriot was alright, Blade and Misty were great but felt contrived and their story served as a strange afterthought. The art as well varied from great to average, which didn't help.
