U. S. Agent

John Walker has worn several identities: first the patriotic Super-Patriot, then the man who took over as Captain America after Steve Rogers stepped away. His most fitting role, though, is the red, white and black USAgent. This collection follows Walker's rough, combative personality through some of his sharpest stories.

The book opens with Walker's acquisition of Cap's shield, then moves into USAgent's pursuit of the Scourge of the Underworld, a killer. Along the way he searches for the truth behind muddled memories that cast doubt on his own past.

Later, the Commission chooses USAgent to oversee the containment of the nation's superhumans, an opportunity to step out from under Captain America's shadow. A hidden plot, a woman from his history and his own stubbornness threaten to derail the job. The volume gathers Captain America #333, USAgent #1-3, selected issues of Captain America (#358-362 and #380-382) and Avengers West Coast #100.
