3.0

This was a satisfying conclusion to the trilogy that tells the origin story of Bucky as the new Cap. There's some good action, high melodrama, and decent characterization along the way, largely focused on Bucky, Sharon Carter, and to a lesser extent, Falcon and Black Widow. Not the greatest story ever told or anything, but decent. Nazis get roughed up but in true comics fashion will live on to fight another day. The one downgrade from the previous volume is the quality of the art. Most of the heroes here look like 80's action stars, 'roided out and indistinguishable in their hugeness. I don't think Clint Barton needs to look like an extra from Predator, although I suppose it doesn't detract too much from the story.

Brubaker knocks another one out of the ballpark.
If you're not reading his C.A. books, you're missing out on some of the best (mainstream superhero) comicbook writing to come along in quite some time.

I'm a huge fan of Brubaker's Cap run, particularly with Bucky as Cap. This is where Bucky picks up the shield, and I love the path that got him there.

sharon carter did that™ (but also deserves better than that terrible plotline)
