Other mod really likes Sam.
Okay, here's the problem with Sam. He can be an awesome character, but in the '70s he got a RetCon Of Doom, and was made less awesome, canon since the '70s has dealt with that to vary degrees of success.
Personally, I really enjoy his original origin story in the early days of Captain America and the Falcon, the Stan Lee issues. Avoid Englehart for Sam (Or Peggy, or Sharon). I also liked him in the Mad Bomb/Roller Derby issues (Cap #193-214). It still had a bit of the evil retcon, but he and Steve had a nice snarky vibe going. I've enjoyed Brubaker's Sam, though I find he's a little too... supportive I guess. Like I tend to like him better when he's more directly challenging Steve, not antagonistic really, but not just there to provide hugs when needed. Sam and Bucky had a hilarious dynamic too. So I'd rec the Brubaker stuff for Sam, even though Sharon is terrible in it.

That's all I can think of for now. Hope it helps
