A really nice cover by Steve Epting highlights the quality of this comic. There's not much action in Ed Brubaker's but the the story moves along purposefully in a number of acts. There's the sorrow and guilt of Sharon, the official wake attended by the pro-registration heroes and then the unofficial one held by the rebels. Sandwiched amongst these is the act showing the Red Skull continuing his plans and the feeling of menace increases. It's all leading up to something horrible but maybe the Winter Soldier can step up and take Cap's place.
Oh yeah, the supporting cast is so good that Cap wasn't really missed.
I know this will read even better in the trade but it's still essential.
Rating 8.5/10
